PREFACE 


THE  project  of  this  volume,  when  proposed  by  The  Macmillan  Company  to  the 
Editor  whom  they  had  selected,  was  finally  taken  up  by  him  only  with  great  hesita- 
tion, not  because  an  American  Supplement  to  the  existing  five  volumes  of  Grove's 
famous  Dictionary  of  Music  and  Musicians  was  not  most  desirable,  but  because  of 
the  inherent  difficulties  in  the  problem  of  making  it  satisfactory.  After  prolonged 
consultation  the  working-plan  adopted  was  recognized  as  not  so  much  a  'counsel  of 
perfection'  as  a  frank  adjustment  of  ideals  to  what  was  practical  within  the  limits 
of  time,  space  and  scope  proposed. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  a  work  of  this  sort  is  essentially  historical,  an  unusual 
arrangement  of  the  material  was  at  length  devised  as  useful  in  this  particular  case. 
The  volume  is  laid  out  in  two  distinct  divisions,  the  one  interlocking  more  or  less 
with  the  other.  ^  The  first  division  consists  of  a  compact/ Historical  Introduction, 
surveying  the  unique  environment  of  music  in  America  and  certain  peculiarities  in 
its  development,  combined  period  by  period  with  a^Chronological  Register^indicating 
those  workers  who  seem  representative  of  the  spirit  and  effort  of  the  successive  stages 
of  progress.  ^The  second  division,  which  is  much  larger,  consists^of  specific  descrip- 
tive articles  about  leading  individuals,  organizations,  institutions  and  interests, 
arranged  in  tfre  customary  alphabetical  order.  In  this  division,  also^a  great  number 
of  the  names,  mentioned  elsewhere  are  catalogued  for  ease  of  reference. 

It  is  believed  that  this  twofold  presentation,  though  involving  some  duplication, 
has  definite  advantages.  The  Introduction  is  not  in  any  sense  a  formal  history  of 
American  music  as  such,  yet  it  provides  a  sketch  of  the  historic  framework,  of  both 
external  circumstances  and  of  internal  tendencies,  upon  which  alone  such  a  history 
can  properly  be  modeled.  In  connection  with  this  the  Register  affords  opportunity 
for  brief  reference  to  some  1700  persons,  representing  a  variety  of  interests,  some  of 
whom  have  not  often  been  remembered  or  even  catalogued.  The  descriptive  articles 
in  the  main  body  of  the  Dictionary  then  take  up  about  700  of  these  persons  for  more 
particular  fteatmeat,  often  with  extensive  lists  of  their  works,  and  also  give  a  vast 
amount  of  information  about  numerous  enterprises  of  a  general  or  corporate  nature. 
The  aim  throughout  the  entire  volume  is  to  present  as  many  facts  as  possible  hi  the 
clearest  manner,  so  as  to  make  them  accessible  for  reference,  but  to  avoid  the  expression 
of  critical  opinions  except  in  general  terms  or  in  quoted  form.

vi  PREFACE 

The  Editor  and  the  Associate  Editor  wish  to  express  their  great  obligation  to  the 
host  of  correspondents  who  have  courteously  supplied  both  material  and  encourage- 
ment. They  can  only  regret  that  certain  lines  of  inquiry,  though  somewhat  earnestly 
pursued,  proved  surprisingly  fruitless,  so  that  many  topics  marked  for  inclusion,  at 
last  had  to  be  treated  superficially  or  omitted  altogether. 

Throughout  the  volume  the  words  'America'  and  *  American'  are  6ft  en  used  of 
the  United  States  and  Canada  taken  together.  Canadian  musicians  are  here  counted 
with  those  of  the  United  States,  not  only  because  no  other  course  was  seemly  hi  an 
American  extension  of  a  work  originally  published  in  Great  Britain,  but  also  because 
the  cordial  fraternity  in  musical  art  on  this  side  of  the  ocean  has  always  disregarded 
the  political  frontier  that  stretches  across  the  continent.  To  a  very  limited  extent, 
furthermore,  it  has  been  possible  to  include  some  representative  names  from  Central 
and  South  America.  In  the  Register  all  who  were  born  outside  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada,  whether  in  Europe  or  in  other  parts  of  the  Americas,  are  designated 
by  a  special  sign. 

Inasmuch  as  the  latest  edition  of  Grove's  Dictionary  was  issued  ten  to  fifteen 
years  ago,  the  publishers  desired  that  this  volume  should  include  continuations  of 
those  articles  that  relate  to  the  more  conspicuous  foreign  musicians,  as  well  as  notices 
of  some  that  for  any  reason  were  previously  omitted.  Accordingly,  in  the  Dictionary 
proper  will  be  found  statements  regarding  more  than  a  hundred  musicians  who  are 
entirely  outside  the  American  field.  All  these  articles  are  indicated  by  a  special  sign. 

Every  work  of  this  class  rests  largely  upon  its  predecessors  in  the  same  field,  as 
well  as  upon  other  literary  sources.  This  particular  volume  would  have  been  almost 
impossible  to  prepare  except  for  the  several  historical  studies  that  have  appeared 
regarding  American  music  and  musicians,  and  especially  without  the  invaluable 
material  gathered  in  works  like  Who's  Who  in  Music  (1918)  and  Baker's  Dictionary 
of  Musicians  (3rd  edition,  1919).  To  the  authors  and  editors  of  all  of  these  the  most 
hearty  acknowledgment  of  constant  indebtedness  is  due.*

HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 


WITH 


CHRONOLOGICAL  REGISTER  OF  NAMES 

The  history  of  music  in  America  is  decidedly  peculiar  in  many  of  its  aspects, 
owing  to  the  unusual  way  in  which  civilization  and  culture  have  here  been  estab- 
lished. Although  permanent  settlements  in  North  America  multiplied  from  about 
1600  and  the  independent  existence  of  the  United  States  is  counted  from  1776, 
musical  life  remained  quite  immature,  or  at  most  provincial,  until  after  1800. 
After  the  middle  of  the  19th  century,  however,  when  an  extensive  and  vital 
connection  with  the  progressive  artistic  culture  of  Europe  began  to  be  effected,  the 
rapidity,  variety  and  vigor  of  the  ensuing  advance  were  altogether  phenomenal. 
Developments  that  have  taken  centuries  were  then  crowded  into  decades  and 
elaborate  enterprises  often  took  shape  without  the  gradual  preparation  that  might 
have  been  expected. 

In  view  of  this,  a  compact  statement  is  here  presented  of  some  of  the  historic 
conditions  within  which  American  musical  progress  has  come  to  pass  and  of  its 
more  salient  features  from  period  to  period.  With  this  is  combined  at  each  suc- 
cessive stage  a  REGISTER  of  the  persons  who  seem  to  have  been  representative  and 
influential,  taking  them  in  groups  by  the  time  when  they  entered  upon  pro- 
fessional activity.  It  is  believed  that  this  method  of  presentation  will  illuminate 
the  whole  evolution  and  be  a  guide  to  placing  various  matters  in  due  sequence 
and  relation. 

THE   CENTURY   OF   SETTLEMENT 

After  being  casually  and  vaguely  known  for  perhaps  five  hundred  years, 
America  was  formally  '  discovered'  in  1492  by  Colombo,  a  Genoese  navigator  sent 
out  by  the  court  of  Spain.  The  name  'America'  was  conferred  upon  it,  as  has 
been  picturesquely  remarked, '  by  an  obscure  German  professor  in  a  French  college 
after  another  Italian  [Amerigo  Vespucci]  in  the  service  of  Portugal/ 

'  The  New  World/  as  it  was  generally  known  —  which,  by  the  way,  did  not 
originally  include  North  America  —  was  at  first  simply  an  object  for  romantic 
and  greedy  exploitation.  The  incursions  and  conquests  of  Spain  produced  noth- 
ing permanent  except  a  nominal  domination  over  Mexico  (from  1520)  and  the 
Pacific  Coast,  with  a  precarious  foothold  upon  the  peninsula  of  Florida,  where 
St.  Augustine  was  founded  in  1565.  The  effective  occupation  of  the  coast  of 
North  America  was  the  later  task  of  the  17th  century,  and  was  wrought  out  by 

other  nations.

4  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

In  1607  Jamestown  (Va.)  was  settled  by  about  a  hundred  adventurers  from 
England,  establishing  an  area  of  Cavalier  sympathies  which  ultimately  acquired 
the  popular  name  of  'The  Old  Dominion'  under  Charles  II.  At  the  same  time, 
far  to  the  north,  French  traders  and  missionaries  began  at  Quebec  (1608)  and 
Montreal  (1611)  to  lay  down  the  long  chain  of  frontier  posts  that  finally  stretched 
westward  to  the  Great  Lakes  and  thence  southward  down  the  Mississippi  Valley 
to  New  Orleans  (1718).  In  1613  the  Dutch  located  themselves  at  the  mouth  of  the 
Hudson  River,  where  New  York  now  is,  retaining  control  of  its  valley  and  of  some 
territory  east  and  west  of  it  until  ousted  by  the  English  in  1664.  In  1620  Plym- 
outh (Mass.)  was  founded  by  a  party  of  about  a  hundred  English  folk  (Separat- 
ists or  Independents),  commonly  called  '  The  Pilgrims/  because  their  migration  to 
America,  like  their  earlier  one  to  Holland,  was  to  escape  from  the  oppressive 
autocracy  of  the  Church  of  England.  In  1628-30  the  much  stronger  settlements 
at  Salem,  Cambridge  and  Boston  (Mass.),  not  many  miles  away,  were  begun  by 
perhaps  a  thousand  Puritans,  members  of  the  English  Church  who  desired  reform 
in  its  practice  and  spirit,  though  at  first  without  meaning  to  leave  it.  These 
Massachusetts  settlements  were  consolidated  under  one  government  in  1692. 
In  1632  English  Roman  Catholics  established  themselves  at  Baltimore  (Md.).  In 
1638  a  few  Swedes  were  pioneers  in  the  region  that  later  came  to  be  called  Dela- 
ware. In  1636-38  groups  breaking  away  from  Massachusetts  effected  the  settle- 
ment first  of  Providence  (R.  I.)  and  then  of  Hartford  and  New  Haven  (Conn.), 
the  last  two  being  consolidated  in  1662.  In  1670-80  similar  branch-colonies  from 
Virginia  pushed  southward  into  North  and  South  Carolina.  In  1681  came  the 
unique  and  influential  Quaker  settlement  of  Philadelphia  (Pa.).  It  was  not  till 
1733  that  the  series  of  primary  establishments  was  completed  by  the  founding  of 
Savannah  (Ga.),  originally  intended  to  be  a  refuge  for  English  prisoners  for  debt  or 
conscience,  but  early  utilized  also  by  refugees  from  intolerance  in  southern  Ger- 
many. To  all  these  centers,  with  their  outlying  dependencies,  a  gradually  increas- 
ing stream  of  additional  colonists  came  from  year  to  year. 

Out  of  the  several  grants,  patents  or  charters  from  the  English  Crown  with 
which  most  of  these  settlements  began  were  developed  the  distinct  administrations 
of  them  as  colonies.  These  were  the  autonomous  units  known  later  as  'The 
Thirteen  Original  States'  (New  Hampshire,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Con- 
necticut, New  York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Delaware,  Maryland,  Virginia, 
North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Georgia),  the  federation  of  which  in  1781-88 
constituted  the  United  States. 

J  The  pioneer  conditions  of  the  whole  17th  century  were  manifestly  unconducive 
to  artistic  life.  Even  at  its  close  the  total  population  may  not  have  exceeded 
275,000  (including  many  negro  slaves),  sparsely  distributed  over  almost  a  thou- 
sand miles  of  coastland  —  a  distance  about  equal  to  that  from  London  to 
Budapest.  Large  towns  were  almost  wanting.  Even  Boston  in  1700  had  less 
than  7000  inhabitants.  The  several  colonies  were  as  yet  not  bound  together 
by  much  community  of  interest  or  sentiment,  and  their  social  habits  differed 
greatly. 


THE  COLONIAL  CENTURY  5 

What  records  there  are  of  this  early  period  are  strikingly  deficient  in  references 
to  music  or  instruments.  In  the  North  there  was  a  tendency  to  treat  the  art  as 
'  worldly '  and  hence  objectionable,  so  that  even  church-singing  became  curiously 
degenerate  because  unsupported  by  general  knowledge.  In  the  South  there  was 
probably  much  more  freedom  of  thought  and  practice,  though  exact  data  are 
wanting.  It  seems  that  at  first  none  of  the  colonists  possessed  any  special  taste 
or  aptitude  in  the  musical  field. 

THE   COLONIAL  CENTURY 

During  the  18th  century  the  total  population  grew  at  the  rate  of  about  one- 
third  in  every  decade,  so  that  in  1750  it  amounted  to  nearly  1,250,000  and  in  1800 
to  over  5,300,000,  of  which,  however,  about  one-sixth  were  slaves.  More  than 
90  per  cent  were  farmers.  The  occupied  territory  lay  close  to  the  Atlantic 
coast,  until  late  in  the  century  nowhere  reaching  inland  more  than  150  miles. 
Military  outposts  were  planted  here  and  there  at  more  distant  points,  but,  even 
allowing  for  these,  the  total  area  effectively  taken  up  by  the  English  colonies  can 
hardly  have  exceeded  250,000  square  miles.  By  1800  a  few  cities  had  attained 
considerable  size,  especially  Philadelphia  (69,400  inhabitants),  New  York  (60,500), 
Baltimore  (26,500),  Boston  (25,000)  and  Charleston  (20,500),  with  Salem,  New 
Orleans,  Providence,  Norfolk,  Newport,  Newburyport,  Richmond,  Nantucket  ( !), 
Albany,  Hartford  and  Portsmouth  completing  the  list  of  large  towns  down  to  5000 
inhabitants. 

In  the  middle  of  the  century  (1754-63)  occurred  the  struggle  with  the  aggres- 
sive French  interests  in  Canada,  assisted  by  a  strong  Indian  alliance.  The  issue 
of  this  contest  settled  the  critical  point  that  not  only  Canada,  but  the  entire  basin 
of  the  Mississippi,  was  thenceforth  to  come  under  English  influence.  It  also  broke 
the  power  of  the  dangerous  Indian  confederacies.  Close  upon  this  followed  the 
controversies  with  England  that  culminated  in  the  War  of  Independence  (1775-83), 
by  which  for  the  first  time  all  the  colonies  were  drawn  into  virtual  union  as  a  na- 
tion. This  war,  however,  naturally  led  to  a  prolonged  period  of  discussion  and 
internal  readjustment.  Except  in  the  cities  and  large  towns,  conditions  were  still 
not  specially  favorable  for  much  cultural  advance. 

On  the  whole,  social  thought  and  customs  were  strongly  dominated  by  English 
influences.  The  sense  of  an  independent  destiny  awoke  only  late  in  the  period, 
when  also  appeared  a  new  sensitiveness  to  ideas  from  France,  due  in  part  to 
sympathy  received  in  the  American  Revolution  and  given  in  the  French  Revolu- 
tion. Although  there  was  as  yet  no  great  influx  of  immigration  from  Europe  and 
no  habit  of  foreign  travel,  commerce  with  England  was  steady  and  enterprising,  so 
that  not  only  commodities,  but  social  ideas  and  practices,  were  rather  promptly 
communicated,  at  least  to  the  main  ports  of  entry.  In  these  latter  centers  wealth 
and  leisure  had  increased  enough  to  create  a  demand  for  something  more  than 
small  diversions. 

It  is  not  strange,  therefore,  that  such  musical  entertainments  as  were  popular 
in  England  —  concerts  and  operas  of  the  ballad  or  song  type  —  should  have 


6  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

become  more  and  more  frequent.  The  performers  were  almost  wholly  visiting 
artists  from  abroad,  at  first  from  England,  but  after  1790  from  France  as  well. 
Many  of  these  remained  for  a  series  of  years  and  some  of  them  permanently.  Not 
a  few  represented  a  high  degree  of  knowledge  and  taste,  as  measured  by  the 
standards  of  the  day.  So  far  as  these  artists  became  known  they  undoubtedly 
exerted  a  positive  and  stimulating  artistic  influence.  In  certain  instances  we  know 
that  they  started  definite  currents  of  native  effort. 

Side  by  side  with  this  exotic  influence,  especially  in  New  England,  ran  a 
movement  for  the  improvement  of  congregational  singing  in  churches  which 
had  some  importance  and  which  continued  far  into  the  19th  century.  The 
absolute  artistic  results  were  slight,  but  the  awakening  of  social  interest  through 
'singing-schools'  under  peripatetic  leaders  and  through  the  multiplication  of 
song-manuals  foreshadowed  more  significant  undertakings  later.  (See  article 
on  Tune-Books.) 

Musical  instruments  slowly  became  noticeable  among  the  articles  of  importa- 
tion and  sale,  implying  an  increasing  interest  in  them  and  some  ability  to  use  them. 
This  developing  interest  led  also  to  the  first  steps  in  commercial  manufacture, 
giving  promise  of  the  remarkable  energy  that  was  displayed  in  the  early  19th 
century  in  making  pianos,  organs  and  some  stringed  instruments. 

Associations  for  the  promotion  and  practice  of  music  were  formed  here  and 
there,  indicating  an  instinctive  desire  to  make  it  a  substantial  factor  in  social  life. 

The  only  native-born  musician  of  distinction  was  Francis  Hopkinson.  But  the 
line  of  contributors  to  '  psalmody '  was  well  established  before  1800. 

In  the  two  sections  of  the  CHRONOLOGICAL  REGISTER  that  are  here  inserted 
will  be  found  references  to  many  details,  personal  and  otherwise,  which  do  not 
lend  themselves  readily  to  summary  statement.  The  chief  purpose  of  these 
lists,  it  should  be  remembered,  is  to  record  a  fairly  large  number  of  persons 
who  are  known  to  have  had  some  importance  in  the  total  development,  to 
group  them  according  to  the  time  when  their  professional  work  seems  to  have 
begun,  and  in  each  case  to  indicate  in  a  few  words  the  place  and  character  of 
their  activities.  It  is  fully  recognized  that  such  lists  must  be  tentative  and 
provisional. 

Our  information  regarding  the  18th  century  is  fragmentary,  in  spite  of 
Sonneck's  invaluable  researches.  His  two  books,  Concert-Life  and  Early  Opera, 
refer  by  name  to  nearly  500  musicians  of  greater  or  less  degree,  of  whom 
about  one-fourth  appeared  prior  to  the  Revolution  and  the  remainder  in  the 
two  decades  after  it.  The  majority  of  them  were  only  visitors  and  exercised 
their  talents  only  in  those  few  centers  where  music  had  acquired  a  fashion- 
able vogue.  It  is  not  yet  clear  how  deep  and  lasting  was  their  artistic  impress. 
Their  total  repertory  was  extensive,  including  more  than  200  operas  and  other 
musical  plays,  a  great  variety  of  popular  songs,  usually  of  the  English  ballad 
type,  and  a  notable  array  of  instrumental  works  by  the  composers  who  were 
most  admired  before  the  time  when  Mozart  began  to  be  recognized.  From 
the  point  of  view  of  permanent  culture,  it  is  likely  that  the  standards  uncon- 
sciously established  by  the  instrumentalists,  either  by  public  performance  or 
through  teaching  of  pupils,  were  specially  important.

CHRONOLOGICAL  REGISTER 


1.   Before  the  Revolution,  1700-1775 

NOTE  .  Throughout  the  Register  the  persons 
named  are  entered  under  the  period  when  they 
apparently  began  professional  activity,  even 
though  this  activity  continued  and  increased 
later.  Those  foreign-born  are  entered  accord- 
ing to  the  dates  of  arrival  in  America,  and  are 
designated  by  a  *  before  their  names.  Such 
names  are  often  given  in  their  common  angli- 
cized form. 

All  those  who  are  separately  treated  in  the 
body  of  the  Dictionary  are  entered  briefly  in 
the  Register  in  their  proper  chronological  place, 
with  the  cross-reference  '  See  art.' 

For  ease  of  consultation,  the  dates  of  birth 
and  death  are  uniformly  printed  together,  with 
the  place  of  birth  preceding  and  the  place  of 
death  following. 

*Behrent,  John,  either  a  German  or  a  Swede, 
in  1775  made  in  Philadelphia  what  appears  to 
have  been  the  first  American  piano.  See  Spil- 
lane,  American  Pianoforte,  p.  76. 

*Beissel,  Johann  Conrad  (Palatinate,  1690-

and  in  1735  founded  a  communistic  fraternity 
at  Ephrata  (about  50  miles  west  of  Philadel- 
phia), which  flourished  till  about  1800.  He  was 
a  well-trained  violinist.  Some  of  his  poems 
made  up  the  first  German  book  issued  in  Amer- 
ica (1730,  printed  by  Franklin).  This  book  was 
followed  by  a  curious  series  of  reprints  of  Ger- 
man hymn-books  and  new  collections,  edited  by 
various  hands  and  published  mainly  at  German- 
town  or  Ephrata  (at  least  30  GesangbUcher 
and  similar  works  before  1800). 

*Biferi,  Nicholas,  a  Neapolitan  harpsichord- 
ist, in  1775  gave  concerts  in  New  York,  havmg 
opened  a-  school  for  music  and  dancing  in 
1774.  Sonneck  (Concert- Life,  p.  175)  queries 
whether  he  may  be  the  same  as  Francesco 
Biferi  (b.  1739?),  who  in  1770  issued  an  in- 
struction-book at  Paris. 

Billings,  William  (Boston,  1746-1800,  Bos- 
ton) ,  was  one  of  the  earliest  leaders  of  singing- 
schools  and  an  ambitious,  but  crude,  tune-com- 
poser. See  Tune-Books  and  art. 

Brattle,  Thomas  (d.  1713,  Boston),  a  promi- 
nent Boston  merchant  who  imported  an  organ 
which  he  bequeathed  to  the  Brattle  Square 
Church,  but  whicn,  there  refused,  went  to 
King's  Chapel.  In  1756  it  was  taken  to  New- 
buryport,  and  in  1836  to  St.  John's  in  Ports- 
mouth, N.  H.,  where  it  still  is.  See  Brooks, 
Olden-Time  Music,  p.  49,  Sonneck,  Concert-Life, 
p.  9,  and  '  New  Music  Review,'  May,  1902.

and  did  much  to  promote  good  music.  See 


Sonneck,  Concert-Life,  pp.  66-70,  and  Hopkin- 
son  and  Lyon. 

Bromfield,  Edward,  Jr.  (Boston,  1723-1746, 
Boston),  graduated  from  Harvard  in  1742  and 
is  said  soon  after  to  have  partially  constructed 
an  organ.  See  Brooks,  p.  32. 

*Dipper,  Thomas  (d.  1763?,  Jamaica),  an 
Englishman  who  in  1756-62  was  organist  at 
King's  Chapel,  Boston. 

*Douglass,  David  (d.  1786?,  Jamaica),  a 
capable  English  singer,  actor  and  manager, 
who  came  to  New  York  in  1758,  succeeded 
Hallam  as  head  of  the  American  Company 
(marrying  his  widow),  and  gave  plays  and 
operas  North  and  South  till  1775,  when  he  left 
for  Jamaica.  See  Sonneck,  Early  Opera,  pp. 
26-52. 

*Enstone,  Edward,  an  Englishman,  who 
from  1714  was  organist  at  King's  Chapel, 
Boston,  taught  music  and  dancing  and  sold 
various  instruments.

Life,  pp.  261-4,  and  Tune-Books. 

Franklin,  Benjamin  (Boston,  1706-1790, 
Philadelphia).  See  Vol.  ii.  103-4,  297-8,  and

came  to  Philadelphia  as  wine-dealer  and  music- 
teacher,  and  in  1769-71  gave  concerts,  includ- 
ing instrumental  works  of  his  own  (not  extant). 
See  Sonneck,  Concert-Life,  pp.  70-4. 

*Hallam,  a  family  of  English  actors  and 
singers  who  were  active  in  America  from  1753, 
when  Lewis  Hallam  (d.  1755,  Jamaica)  came 
as  manager  of  the  London  Company.  His 
widow  married  Douglass,  who  directed  the 
troupe  in  1758-74  under  the  names  American 
Company  and  Old  American  Company. 
Among  the  singers  after  1759  were  Lewis 
Hallam,  Jr.  (1741-1808)  and  his  sister,  both 
competent  artists.  The  former  returned  as 
manager  in  1784,  and  was  more  or  less  asso- 
ciated with  Henry  and  Hodgkinson  (see  sec.  2). 
See  Sonneck,  Early  Opera  and  Concert-Life.

1737  bequeathed  an  organ  that  he  himself  had 
made.  This  seems  to  antedate  the  one  made 
by  Klemm  (see  above),  but  the  record  is  not 
quite  clear.  See  Spillane,  p.  47. 

Sonneck  has  found  presumable  references

(Tony  Aston),  in  1718  at  Williamsburg,  Va., 
and  in  1749  at  Philadelphia,  besides  a  possible

musical  entertainments  for  which  definite  data 
are  now  at  hand  at  various  places  are  as  fol- 
lows: 

1731  Boston  —  at  Pelham's  Great  Room. 

1732  Charleston  —  by  John  Salter. 
1736     New  York  —  by  C.  T.  Pachelbel. 
1744    Bethlehem  —  by  the  Collegium  Musi- 

cum.1 

1750  Philadelphia  —  by  the  Kean-Murray

lAt  the  famous  Moravian  settlement  at  Bethle- 
hem, Pa.,  in  1741,  under  the  lead  of  Count  Zinzendorf 
(1700-1760),  singing  and  instruments  were  early 
prominent.  In  1744  a  society  for  cultivating  music 
was  formed,  led  by  Rev.  J.  C.  Pyrlaeus  and  later  by 
J.  E.  Westmann,  which  was  the  forerunner  of  the 
present  Bach  Choir.  The  first  spinet  was  imported 
in  1744,  a  small  organ  set  up  by  Klemm  in  1746  and 
a  larger  one  in  1751,  and  trombones  were  introduced

Organizations  for  promoting  or  performing 
music  doubtless  became  somewhat  common 
before  1800,  though  many  were  short-lived  and 
of  shadowy  influence.  Below  is  a  list  of  names 
and  dates,  mostly  collated  from  Sonneck,

1744  Collegium  Musicum,  Bethlehem.

1799             Philharmonic  Society,  Boston. 
1800+         Euterpean  Society,  New  York. 

No  doubt,  many  of  these  were  merely  tran- 
sient social  clubs,  but  they  are  nevertheless  signs 
of  the  time.  Probably  there  were  many  more, 
some  of  them,  like  the  noted  Stoughton  Society, 
growing  out  of  '  singing-schools.' 

Ritter  (Music  in  America,  ch.  vii)  empha- 
sizes an  '  Apollo  Society  '  as  '  foremost '  among 
early  New  York  societies,  but  his  data  are  not 
identifiable. 


12  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

THE   ERA   OF  NATIONAL  EXPANSION 

The  development  of  the  United  States  during  the  first  two-thirds  of  the  19th 
century  is  much  too  complicated  to  be  summarized  in  a  sketch  like  the  present. 
But  among  the  enormous  changes  in  the  body  politic,  social  and  intellectual, 
between  1800  and  the  Civil  War  a  few  major  points  require  mention. 

Although  the  United  States  assumed  the  form  of  a  nation  at  the  time  of  the 
Revolution,  a  truly  'national'  feeling  and  spirit  were  hardly  attained  until  after 
the  second  war  with  England  in  1812-14.  That  a  knitting  together  of  the  elements 
of  the  confederation  then  took  place  cannot  be  denied.  And  yet  the  interests  of 
different  sections  remained  so  diverse  and  their  views  of  internal  policy  so  opposed 
that  many  of  their  relations  continued  difficult.  Indeed,  the  period  culminated  in 
the  strenuous  and  exhausting  Civil  War  of  1861-65.  Along  with  these  divisive 
influences,  however,  ran  movements  that  were  constructive  in  the  highest  degree. 

Until  after  1770  the  population  had  been  mainly  limited  to  what  is  now  called 
the  Atlantic  Division  of  the  country — the  section  east  of  the  long  Appalachian 
Range.  But  from  thence  on  settlers  began  to  cross  the  hills  in  force  into  the 
East  Central  Division  —  the  section  west  of  the  Appalachians  and  east  of  the 
Mississippi.  The  march  of  this  expansion  is  registered  by  the  dates  at  which 
nine  new  'Territories'  were  successively  recognized  in  this  region.1  All  these 
were  admitted  to  equality  with  the  original  thirteen  as  'States'  before  1848. 

Soon  after  1800,  by  the  Louisiana  Purchase  in  1803  and  then  by  cessions  from 
Spain  and  Mexico,  the  door  was  opened  wide  into  the  West  Central  Division  — 
the  section  west  of  the  Mississippi,  but  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  Into  this 
soon  poured  a  veritable  flood  of  migration,  which  did  not  pause  until  presently  it 
had  pressed  on  through  the  Mountain  Division  that  lay  beyond  the  Great  Plains 
and  reached  the  Pacific  Division  beyond  the  mountains.  Thus  within  the  space 
of  a  few  decades  the  national  domain  was  extended  clear  across  the  continent.2 

The  process  thus  sketched  increased  the  area  of  the  United  States  at  least 
sixfold,  so  that  it  included  more  than  3,000,000  square  miles  or  nearly  as  much  as 
the  whole  of  Europe.3  The  penetration  of  this  vast  domain  by  settlers  proceeded 
without  much  system  and  very  unequally.  But  the  rapidity  of  occupation  and  its 
total  bulk,  even  before  the  Civil  War,  are  nevertheless  extremely  impressive.  In 
1800  the  Atlantic  Division  held  not  less  than  93  per  cent  of  the  whole  population. 
In  1860  this  Division  contained  only  about  51  per  cent,  while  the  East  Central 
had  35  per  cent  and  the  West  Central  over  12  per  cent.  Yet,  since  the  total  had 

1  Kentucky,  1792 ;   Tennessee,  1796 ;    Mississippi,  1798 ;    Indiana,  1800 ;    Ohio,  1803 ;    Michigan,  1806 ; 
Illinois,  1809 ;  Alabama,  1817 ;  Wisconsin,  1836. 

2  In  the  West  Central  Division  governments  were  organized  as  follows :  Louisiana,  1804  ;  Missouri,  1812 ; 
Arkansas,  1819 ;    Iowa,  1838 ;    Texas,  1848 ;    Minnesota,  1849 ;    Kansas  and  Nebraska,  1854 ;  the  Dakotas, 
1861 ;    Oklahoma  (consisting  largely  of  the  previous  unorganized  Indian  Territory),  1890. 

Intthe  Mountain  Division  the  dates  were  these :  New  Mexico  and  Utah,  1850 ;  Colorado  and  Nevada, 
1861 ;  Arizona  and  Idaho,  1863 ;  Montana,  1864  ;  Wyoming,  1868. 

Owing  to  various  circumstances  the  enrollment  in  the  Pacific  Division  somewhat  antedated  that  further 
east:  Oregon,  1848;  California,  1850;  Washington,  1853. 

Meanwhile,  the  number  in  the  Atlantic  Division  was  increased  as  follows :  Vermont,  1791 ;  Maine,  1820 ; 
Florida,  1822 ;  West  Virginia,  1862.  None  of  these  except  Florida  represented  new  territory. 

Thus  before  1870  the  Union  had  come  to  include  48  actual  or  potential  'States.' 

3  Roughly  stated,  the  area-proportions  of  the  five  great  Divisions  are  aa  follows :   Atlantic,  14%  ;   East 
Central,  15%  ;  West  Central,  32%  ;  Mountain,  28%  ;  Pacific,  11%. 


THE   ERA  OF  NATIONAL  EXPANSION  13 

meantime  grown  to  over  31,000,000,  the  East  in  1860  had  16,000,000  inhabitants, 
more  than  three  times  its  size  in  1800.  The  large  absolute  increase  and  the 
startling  changes  in  distribution  could  not  fail  greatly  to  affect  every  aspect  of 
social  culture.  The  entire  country  suffered  from  being  in  a  state  of  flux,  though, 
on  the  other  hand,  in  every  section  the  period  was  instinct  with  energy  and  pro- 
phetic aspiration. 

A  conspicuous  feature  of  the  time  was  the  setting  in  of  a  great  stream  of  immi- 
gration from  abroad,  in  part  occasioned  by  the  political  unrest  in  Europe  between 
1830  and  1850.  The  incoming  tide  of  people  not  only  helped  to  swell  the  total 
population,  often  determining  the  character  of  new  settlements  in  the  West,  but 
within  it  were  hundreds  of  educated  and  able  individuals  who  were  destined  to  be 
dynamic  in  the  formation  of  the  later  national  culture.  For  the  first  time  America 
began  to  feel  the  force  of  the  best  qualities  of  German  civilization,  not  simply  as 
it  was  transferred  hither  by  incoming  immigrants,  but  also  as  more  and  more  it  was 
apprehended  at  its  source  by  outgoing  students  and  visitors.1 

Another  feature  of  the  period  that  was  artistically  weighty  and  potential 
was  the  multiplication  of  cities  and  their  striking  advance  in  relative  importance. 
In  1800  the  Census  officially  recognized  only  six  'cities/  which  contained  but  4 
per  cent  of  the  whole  population.  In  1860  there  were  one  hundred  and  forty, 
containing  16  per  cent  (or  over  5,000,000  in  all).  At  the  head  of  the  list  in  1860 
remained  New  York  (with  its  neighbors  Brooklyn  and  Newark),  Philadelphia 
(quadrupled  in  1854  by  taking  in  many  suburbs),  Baltimore  and  Boston.  But 
the  shift  in  the  general  center  of  population  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  high  on  the 
list  are  many  new  names,  such  as  Pittsburgh  and  Cincinnati  (from  1820),  Buffalo 
and  Louisville  (from  1830),  St.  Louis  (from  1840),  Chicago  and  San  Francisco 
(from  1850),  with  Cleveland,  Detroit  and  Milwaukee  soon  following.  The  de- 
velopment of  the  Mississippi  is  indicated  by  the  rise  of  New  Orleans  (from  1820) 
to  a  place  among  the  leaders.  For  various  reasons  the  big  cities  from  the  first  were 
strongholds  of  foreign  settlement,  so  that  the  leadership  in  social  and  intellectual 
matters  which  cities  always  exercise  was  in  this  case  particularly  affected  by  the 
stimulus  to  artistic  knowledge  and  achievement  that  was  felt  from  abroad. 

It  is  needless  to  dilate  upon  the  fact  that  the  period  was  remarkable  for  the 
rapid  advance  in  industrial  and  commercial  enterprise,  leading  to  the  accumula- 
tion of  a  striking  total  of  wealth.  The  drift  of  population  to  the  West  was  pri- 
marily to  open  up  agricultural  resources.  But  equally  significant  were  the  quests 
for  coal  and  oil  in  Pennsylvania  and  for  metals  and  lumber  in  the  Northwest  and 
on  the  Pacific  Slope.  The  invention  and  rapid  adoption  of  labor-saving  machin- 
ery for  farming  operations  wrought  a  phenomenal  economic  revolution,  since  by  the 
end  of  the  period  two-fifths  of  the  population  had  become  able  to  provide  food  for 
the  remaining  three-fifths.  This  is  but  a  single  illustration  of  a  transformation

1  In  the  decade  1830-40  the  total  immigration  was  about  600,000,  in  1840-50  about  1,700,000,  in  1850-60 
nearly  2,600,000.  In  1850  one  person  in  every  ten  in  the  United  States  was  foreign-born,  and  in  1860  one  in 
every  eight.  In  1860  there  were  more  than  4,000,000  who  were  foreign-born,  and  of  these  1,278,000  had  come 
from  Germany. 


14  HISTORICAL    INTRODUCTION 

assumed  large  proportions  upon  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  Rivers,  through  the 
Great  Lakes  and  by  means  of  the  Erie  Canal  (opened  in  1825).  Between  1830 
and  1850  some  9000  miles  of  railroad  were  opened,  and  before  1860  not  less  than 
21,600  miles  were  added.  These  lines  of  communication  made  feasible  a  wholly 
new  social  interchange,  quite  aside  from  their  bearing  upon  economic  develop- 
ment. 

It  was  in  this  period  that  original  impetus  in  the  fields  of  science,  letters  and 
several  forms  of  fine  art  first  became  notable.  Systematic  popular  education  was 
undertaken  with  extraordinary  zest,  not  only  through  a  system  of  public  schools 
supported  by  local  taxation,  but  more  and  more  through  institutions  of  higher  edu- 
cation privately  endowed  or  else  founded  by  religious  organizations.  Newspapers 
and  magazines  multiplied,  and  both  the  number  and  the  variety  of  published  books 
were  rapidly  extended.  Native  fiction  and  poetry,  besides  literature  of  an  educa- 
tional or  technical  character,  broke  forth  with  energy  and  originality.  Even 
painting  and  sculpture  began  to  be  cultivated  with  strength  and  independence. 
The  taste  for  the  drama  grew  more  general  and  more  discriminating.  In  short,  this 
stirring  period,  especially  in  the  quarter-century  before  1860,  was  marked  by  a  dis- 
play of  manifold  mental  vigor  that  was  akin  to  its  physical  and  economic  enter- 
prise. Whether  or  not  the  immediate  products  had  enduring  importance,  the 
field  of  cultural  activity  was  certainly  brought  fully  into  view  and  its  wide  appeal 
to  human  interest  in  some  part  perceived. 

It  is  not  strange,  therefore,  that  in  this  period  musical  life  should  have  become 
more  abundant  and  significant.  The  number  of  professional  musicians,  both 
visiting  performers  and  resident  teachers,  decidedly  increased,  the  most  important 
influence  naturally  still  being  exerted  by  those  coming  from  abroad.  Church- 
music,  concert-undertakings,  operatic  performances  of  a  kind,  ensemble  instru- 
mental music  —  all  these  lines  of  public  enterprise,  though  on  a  small  scale  as  yet, 
gave  promise  of  future  attainment.  And  any  thoughtful  examination  of  accessible 
lists  of  musical  workers  makes  plain  that  the  subtle,  but  powerful,  leaven  of  private 
instruction  was  now  beginning  to  work  here  and  there,  not  as  yet  producing  re- 
sults that  can  readily  be  catalogued,  but  still  undoubtedly  raising  the  standards  of 
popular  appreciation,  discrimination  and  aspiration.  The  time  had  not  come  for 
widespread  skill  in  performance,  for  familiar  acquaintance  with  the  trend  of  musi- 
cal affairs  in  any  large  sense,  or  for  creative  freedom  in  the  upper  ranges  of  com- 
position, except  among  some  of  the  incoming  foreigners.  But  the  basic  importance 
of  the  period  as  a  whole  with  reference  to  the  future  is  obvious. 

Until  about  1850  individual  persons  are  as  a  rule  not  so  conspicuous  in  the 
history  as  certain  general  advances  in  diffused  interest.  Two  lines  of  activity 
were  brought  over  from  the  preceding  period,  namely,  (a)  the  cultivation  of 
'psalmody/  primarily  in  New  England,  but  soon  extending  southward  and  west- 
ward, resulting  frequently  in  the  stimulus  of  more  advanced  choral  music,  of  a 
craving  for  discipline  in  solo-singing,  and  of  interest  in  class-instruction  in  the 
rudiments  of  composition ;  and  (6)  repeated  efforts,  mostly  without  continuity  or 
wise  planning,  to  provide  ambitious  operatic  and  concert-performances,  not  seldom 


THE  ERA  OF  NATIONAL  EXPANSION  15 

making  important  impressions  through  the  passing  vogue  of  talented  vocalists  or 
through  the  drawing  of  trained  instrumentalists  into  permanent  residence. 

A  third  point  in  the  development  from  soon  after  1800  was  the  founding  in 
several  centers  of  energetic  instrument-manufacture,  especially  the  making  of 
pianos,  with  a  large  consequent  effect  on  popular  interest  through  the  extensive 
sale  and  use  of  the  products.  Part  of  this  was  simply  a  phase  of  the  general 
awakening  to  mechanical  pursuits.  But  the  rapid  expansion  of  trade  in  pianos  — 
not  to  mention  other  instruments  —  implies  that  a  considerable  demand  for  them 
existed  or  was  impending,  and  the  display  of  original  ingenuity  in  novel  construc- 
tion—  often  preceding  similar  advances  abroad  —  bespeaks  something  more 
than  a  mere  desire  for  profits.  In  the  single  year  1829  it  has  been  estimated  that 
2500  pianos  were  made,  valued  at  $750,000.  In  1850  there  were  over  200  estab- 
lishments at  work  upon  musical  instruments,  the  value  of  the  annual  product  being 
nearly  $2, 600,000. l  Progress  was  greatly  stimulated  by  competitive  exhibitions 
held  in  Philadelphia  from  1824  by  the  Franklin  Institute  and  in  New  York  from 
1830  by  the  Mechanics'  Institute.2 

It  is  to  be  noted  that,  whereas  in  the  later  18th  century  foreign  influences  in 
music  came  almost  wholly  from  England  or  France,  after  perhaps  1810  the  impress 
of  Germany  began  to  be  notable  in  certain  cities,  like  Baltimore,^  Philadelphia  and 
New  York.  It  is  said  that  in  New  York  as  late  as  1835  there  still  remained  a 
decided  prejudice  in  piano-making  against  German  workmen,  which  was  overcome 
only  with  some  difficulty.  But  ten  years  later  in  such  trade-circles  the  German 
element  had  become  highly  respected.3  A  parallel  transition  was  even  more 
evident  among  executive  musicians.  After  1840  able  German  players  and 
leaders  began  to  arrive  in  increasing  numbers,  and  wherever  they  settled  they 
became  centers  of  fruitful  influence.  And  from  that  date  American  students 
began  to  go  to  Germany  for  training,  especially  after  the  Leipzig  Conservatory 
entered  the  field.  Significant  events  were  the  advent  of  the  so-called  Germania 
Orchestra  in  1848  and  the  formation  of  the  Mendelssohn  Quintette  Club  in  1849. 
Even  more  significant  in  its  way  was  the  arrival  in  1845  of  the  boy  Theodore 
Thomas. 

The  most  striking  organizations  of  the  period  were  the  Handel  and  Haydn 
Society  of  Boston,  founded  in  1815,  the  Musical  Fund  Society  of  Philadelphia, 
founded  in  1820,  and  the  New  York  Philharmonic  Society,  founded  in  1842, 
representing  more  or  less  different  lines  of  interest,  but  all  making  for  substantial 
progress.  From  time  to  time  ambitious  opera-houses  were  erected,  of  which 
probably  the  most  famous  was  the  Academy  of  Music  in  New  York,  opened  in 
1854.  Almost  equally  notable  was  the  Boston  Music  Hall,  erected  in  1852,  in 
which  just  at  the  end  of  the  period  (1863)  was  set  up  the  first  elaborate  concert- 
organ  in  the  country  (made  by  Walcker  of  Ludwigsburg).  New  Orleans  had  a 
series  of  opera-houses  from  1808,  the  latest  and  finest  being  opened  in  1859.

[3:  1800-1840 


There  is  as  yet  a  marked  default  in  detailed  information  about  the  individ- 
uals and  organizations  that  probably  exerted  a  formative  influence  in  many 
places  during  the  early  decades  of  the  19th  century.  Until  work  like  that 
done  by  Sonneck  for  the  18th  century  has  been  undertaken  the  data  will  re- 
main fragmentary  and  disconnected.  But,  happily,  it  is  possible  to  give  some 
hint  of  the  striking  advance  of  the  mechanical  and  commercial  sides  of  musical 
life,  especially  as  evidenced  by  the  founding  of  businesses  that  were  more  than 
transiently  important.  Accordingly  to  these  considerable  attention  is  here 
paid,  especially  in  sec.  3.  In  sec.  4,  also,  it  is  possible  to  emphasize  many  of  the 
incoming  foreigners  who  were  invaluable  in  awakening  artistic  thought  and 
ambition.  Yet,  at  best,  the  time  before  the  Civil  War  remains  relatively  defec- 
tive in  presentation,  except  as  imagination  and  conjecture  fill  in  its  manifest 
gaps  of  definite  fact.

3.   The  Early  19th  Century,  1800-1840 

Adams,  F.  W.  (Montpelier,  Vt.,  1787-1859), 
a  violin-maker  after  about  1805  who  made 
about  140  instruments,  marked  by  much 
excellence  of  tone. 

Appleton,  Thomas,  from  about  1810  a  noted 
organ-maker  in  Boston  who  learned  his  trade 
with  W.  M.  Goodrich,  from  1813  was  partner 
of  Babcock  the  piano-maker,  and  from  1820  was 
successively  associated  with  Ebenezer  Good- 
rich, Corri  and  the  elder  Warren  (father  of 
S.  P.  Warren).  Among  his  many  organs  was 
one  for  the  Handel  and  Haydn  Society. 

*Arquier,  Joseph  (France,  1763-1816, 
France),  a  'cellist  and  composer  of  operas  who

opera-singer  who  from  1829  did  much  to  make 
popular  certain  works  of  Rossini,  Boieldieu 
and  Weber. 

Babcock,  Alpheus,  an  ingenious  and  success- 
ful piano-maker,  trained  by  Crehore,  who  in 
1810  opened  a  shop  in  Boston  with  his  brother 
Lewis  Babcock  (d.  1817),  was  for  a  time  asso- 
ciated with  Appleton  and  the  Hayts  (firm  dis- 
solved in  1815,  see  Brooks,  Olden-Time  Music, 
p.  270)  and  from  1822  with  Mackay,  who 
supplied  capital.  In  1829  he  moved  to  Phila- 
delphia and  was  associated  with  Klemm 
(probably  the  son  of  the  organ-builder  in  sec.  2 
above).  His  pianos  won  prizes  repeatedly 
from  1824.  In  1825  he  patented  a  solid  metal 
plate  which  was  the  first  successful  application 
of  the  principle  later  universally  adopted.  See 
Spillane,  Hist,  of  the  American  Pianoforte,  pp. 
85-7,  120-3,  etc. 

Bacon,  George  (d.  1856,  New  York),  joined 
Dubois  and  Chambers,  the  Boston  piano- 
makers,  in  1836.  About  1841  the  firm  became 
Bacon  &  Raven,  and  in  1856  Francis  Bacon

Books. 

Beckel,  James  Cox  (b.  Philadelphia,  1811), 
of  German  parentage,  from  1824  assisted  his 
father  as  organist  and  from  1829  for  more  than 
fifty  years  held  posts  in  various  Philadelphia 
churches,  composing  several  cantatas,  an 
organ-method,  etc. 

Blake,  George  E.  (Philadelphia,  1775-1871, 
Philadelphia),  the  son  of  an  earlier  music- 
dealer,  began  music-publishing  in  1802  and 
became  a  leader  in  musical  affairs.  He  was  an 
original  member  of  the  Musical  Fund  Society 
in  1820,  and  from  1824  active  at  exhibitions  of 
the  Franklin  Institute.  See  Tune-Books. 

*Boucher,  A.,  a  good  'cellist  who  came  to 
New  York  in  1833  with  Rivafinoli's  opera- 
troupe  and  was  long  prominent.  He  collabo- 
rated with  Schlesinger  in  1837  and  was  con- 
cerned in  the  establishment  of  the  Philharmonic 
Society  in  1842. 

Bourne,  William  (d.  1885,  Boston),  began 
making  pianos  in  Dayton,  O.,  in  1837,  soon 
moved  to  Cincinnati  and  in  1842  to  Boston, 
where  in  1846,  after  being  foreman  at  Chicker- 
ing's,  he  established  the  firm  now  known  as 
the  Wm.  Bourne  &  Son  Piano  Co.,  his  son 
Charles  E.  Bourne  coming  into  it  in  1863. 

Bradbury,  William  Batchelder  (York,  Me., 
1816-1868,  Montclair,  N.  J.),  from  1834  or- 
ganist in  Boston  and  soon  a  teacher  under 
Mason,  and  from  1840  teacher,  editor,  com- 
poser and  also  piano-maker  in  New  York.  See 
art.  and  Tune-Books. 

Brainard,  Silas  (Lempster,  N.  H.,  1814-1871, 
Cleveland),  set  up  a  music-store  in  Cleveland 
in  1836  and  in  1845  began  publishing,  thus 
establishing  the  firm  later  known  as  S.  Brain- 
ard's  Sons  (Charles  S.  and  Henry  M.) 

*Bristow,  William  Richard  (England,  1803- 
1867,  New  York),  came  to  New  York  about 
1824  and  was  long  a  leading  teacher  and  con- 
ductor. See  Bristow,  George  F.  (sec.  4). 

Brown,  Bartholomew,  from  about  1800  a 
teacher  in  Boston,  was  one  of  the  editors  of  the 
significant  Bridgewater  Collection  in  1802  (see

*Davis,  John,  came  to  New  Orleans  from 
San  Domingo  with  an  operatic  troupe  in  1811, 
and  in  1813  built  the  Theatre  d'Orleans,  where 
opera  was  regularly  given  with  exceptional 
artistic  perfection  for  forty  years.  Pierre 
Davis  succeeded  his  father  as  manager. 

*De  Begnis,  Giuseppe  (Italy,  1793-1849, 
New  York?),  a  gifted  opera-singer,  specially 
strong  in  buffo  parts,  who  came  to  New  York

See  Spillane,  pp.  108,  150,  etc. 

Dunham,  J.  B.  (New  Hampshire,  1799-1873, 
New  York),  originally  a  cabinet-maker  in  the

eight  concerts  as  the  Philharmonic  Society. 
See  Upton,  Musical  Memories,  pp.  253-9,  etc. 

*Firth,  John  (England,  1789-1864,  New 
York),  was  in  1815  a  maker  of  wood- wind  in- 
struments in  New  York,  deriving  his  skill  from 
Edward  Riley  (also  English,  at  work  in  New 
York  by  1812),  whose  daughter  he  married. 
In  1821  or  '24  the  firm  of  Firth  &  Hall  was 


formed,  dealing  in  both  small  instruments  and 
music,  and  from  1830  adding  piano-making 
and  music-publishing.  S.  B.  Pond  joined 
the  firm  in  1832  and  W.  A.  Pond  in  1847. 
Firth  parted  from  them  in  1863,  and,  with 
his  son  Thaddeus  established  the  publishing 
business  which  in  1867  was  bought  by  Ditson 
and  made  the  nucleus  of  his  New  York  branch. 

*Garcia,  Manuel  del  Popolo  Vicente  (Spain, 
1775-1832,  France),  the  distinguished  singer, 
composer  and  conductor,  brought  an  opera- 
troupe  to  New  York  in  1825,  introducing 
Italian  opera  in  a  series  of  79  performances. 
Among  the  singers  were  his  wife,  his  son  Manuel 
(1805-1906),  later  the  great  singing-master, 
and  especially  his  daughter  Maria  Felicita 
(1808-36),  later  known  as  Malibran  (from  the 
French  merchant  whom  she  married  in  New 
York  in  1826),  whose  singing  made  a  deep  im- 
pression. Of  his  troupe,  Crivelli  and  Angrisani 
were  otherwise  the  ablest  members.  See  Vols. 
ii.  143-4,  iii.  33-5,  Ritter,  Music  in  America, 
chap,  x.,  and  Krehbiel,  Chapters  of  Opera,  pp. 
25-30. 

*Geib,  John  and  Adam,  piano-makers  who 
appeared  in  New  York  in  1802,  were  sons  of 
John  Geib,  one  of  the  Germans  who  from  1760 
established  piano-making  in  England  and  the 
inventor  of  the  '  hopper  '  (1786).  John  prob- 
ably died  before  1809,  but  Adam  and  two  of 
John's  sons,  John,  Jr.  (from  1815)  and  Wil- 
liam (from  1821),  long  continued  prominent. 
From  about  1830  Geib  &  Walker  were  piano- 
makers,  importers  and  music-publishers  of 
note.  [In  Brown,  Diet,  of  Musicians,  is  also 
a  reference  to  a  George  Geib  (New  York,  1780- 
?) ,  piano-teacher  in  New  York  and  author  of  an 
instruction-book  in  1819.] 

Gilbert,  Timothy,  with  his  brother  Lemanuel 
Gilbert,  was  trained  in  piano-making  by  Osborn 
of  Boston  before  1820,  and  began  business  in 
1829,  promptly  establishing  a  reputation  for 
ingenious  ability,  especially  in  improving  the 
action  of  uprights  (1841)  and  squares  (1847). 
In  1847  he  brought  out  an  '  organ-piano,'  based 
on  a  patent  of  Obed  Coleman  (1844).  His 
brother  was  less  gifted  and  successful.  Both 
continued  active  till  about  1870. 

*Gilles,  P.,  a  'cellist  in  Philadelphia,  promi- 
nent in  the  organization  and  leadership  of  the 
Musical  Fund  Society  from  1820. 

Goodrich,  William  M.  (Templeton,  Mass., 
1777-1833?),  was  the  first  important  American 
organ-builder,  during  almost  thirty  years  from 
1805  nearly  monopolizing  the  business  in 
Boston.  From  about  1822  he  also  made  pianos. 
He  trained  Elias  Hook.  His  brother  Eben- 
ezer  Goodrich  succeeded  him,  though  without 
equal  distinction. 

Gould,  Nathaniel  Duren  (Chelmsford,  Mass., 
1781-1864,  Boston),  from  about  1800  an  ac-

composing,  in  1834  visited  Germany  and 
Austria,  then  came  to  New  York,  where  he 
was  much  in  evidence  as  an  '  American '  com- 
poser, but  with  ephemeral  success.  See  Baker, 
Diet,  of  Musicians,  1918,  pp.  1087-8,  and  note

place,  engaging  in  ill-starred  business  ventures, 
and  finally  committed  suicide.  Though  not  a 
strong  musician,  he  was  historically  important.

much  organ-music,  anthems,  etc.,  and  for 
nearly  thirty  years  was  proof-reader  for  the 
publisher  Schirmer. 

*Jardine,  John,  an  English  piano-maker  in 
New  York  from  1832  who  made  '  overstrung ' 
pianos  as  early  as  1833.  His  brother  George

then  proceeded  alone.  Before  1860  he  had 
become  known  as  one  of  the  best  makers  in  the 
country.  After  the  War  the  business  was 
finely  continued  by  his  two  sons,  William  (d. 
1889)  and  Ernest  (d.  1894),  and  handed  on  to 
grandsons.  In  1908  it  was  merged  into  the 
American  Piano  Co.  See  Dolge,  pp.  282-6. 

*Lindeman,  William  (Saxony,  1795-1875, 
New  York),  came  to  New  York  in  1834  and 
soon  developed  a  notable  piano-making  busi- 
ness which  still  continues.  Lindeman  was  in- 
strumental in  overcoming  the  strong  prejudice 
in  New  York  against  German  workmen.  The 
'  cycloid  '  piano  patented  in  1860  by  his  son

C.  Loud  (b.  Philadelphia,  1812),  however,  up- 
held the  family  reputation  till  about  1855. 
The  Louds,  besides  being  strong  inventively, 
were  important  promoters  of  the  industry.

thirty-five  performances  in  Italian.  With 
him  were  the  soprano  Pedrotti  and  the  bass 
Fornasari.  He  was  strongly  supported  by 
Da  Ponte,  but  the  enterprise  was  financially 
disastrous.  It  was  useful,  however,  in  bringing 
several  orchestral  players  to  America.  See 
Krehbiel,  Chapters  of  Opera,  pp.  17-19. 

*Nunns,  Robert  and  William,  English  piano-

till  1858,  and  William  proceeded,  at  first  alone 
and  in  1839-40  with  the  Fischers.  The  Nunns 
pianos  were  highly  esteemed  for  about  forty 
years.  The  brothers  were  the  first  in  America 
to  use  the  French  '  rocker  '  action,  the  excel- 
lent scale  of  Sackmeister  (1827)  and  Kreter's

1815,  soon  becoming  known  as  '  the  best  in 
the  country,'  went  to  Albany  in  1829  and

factory  in  1834  led  to  derangement  and  suicide. 
He  was  the  teacher  of  Chickering.  See  Spill- 
ane,  56-7,  156-7,  etc. 

Perkins,  Orson  (Hartland,  Vt.,  1802-1882,

in  concerts  and  lectured  in  Boston. 

Pond,  Sylvanus  Billings  (near  Worcester, 
Mass.,  1792-1871,  New  York),  a  piano-maker 
at  Albany  before  1820,  moved  to  New  York  in 
1832  and  joined  the  Firth  brothers  (see  above), 
beginning  the  business  from  1863  known  as 
Wm.  A.  Pond  &  Co.  He  wrote  and  compiled 
tune-music,  especially  for  Sunday-schools. 

Porter,  William  S.,  in  1834  published  at 
Boston  a  Musical  Cyclopedia  of  over  400  pages

season  of  Italian  opera,  including  sixty-eight 
performances  in  New  York  and  fifteen  in  Phil- 
adelphia. His  singers  were  fairly  good  and  the 
orchestra  decidedly  so.  But  the  venture  was 
a  failure  pecuniarily,  the  deficit  being  nearly 
$30,000.  The  New  York  series  was  given  in 
the  first  opera-house  to  be  erected  in  the  city, 
built  at  the  instigation  of  Da  Ponte.  See 
Ritter,  Music  in  America,  chap,  x.,  and  Kreh-

In  a  survey  such  as  this  the  decades  before  and  after  1850  cannot  well  be 
separated,  although  combining  them  makes  a  period  that  is  somewhat  un- 
wieldy. 

At  this  time  the  attention  to  'psalmody/  though  absolutely  greater  in 
amount,  became  relatively  much  less  significant.  After  1850  it  tended  to 
change  in  character  and  to  divide  into  two  lines  of  effort,  which  diverged  more 
and  more  (see  Tune-Books). 

The  salient  note  of  the  time  was  the  increased  contact  in  musical  matters 
between  America  and  Europe.  From  1840  American  students  began  to  go 
abroad  for  training,  especially  to  Germany.  And  from  even  before  that  date, 
as  previously  stated,  the  tide  of  immigration  from  Europe,  especially  from 
Germany  and  Austria,  began  to  be  impressive. 

From  about  1850  American  audiences  had  the  chance  to  hear  visiting  art- 
ists of  ability  and  magnetic  power,  besides  several  good  visiting  orchestras. 
Their  concerts  in  many  cases  aroused  remarkable  enthusiasm,  tended  to 
spread  a  knowledge  of  standard  musical  works  and  of  executive  skill,  and  did 
much  to  stimulate  efforts  for  individual  and  local  improvement. 

Although  the  number  of  names  plainly  worthy  of  mention  now  becomes 
considerable,  it  is  certain  that  the  number  should  be  larger.  A  list  like  this 
must  confine  itself  to  such  data  as  are  now  accessible.  Further  investigation 
should  add  to  this  material.

Woodman,  Jonathan  Call  (Newburyport, 
Mass.,  1813-1894,  Brooklyn),  about  1840 
associated  with  Mason  in  Boston  and  an 
oratorio-singer,  was  later  in  various  church 
positions  in  New  York  and  Brooklyn,  besides 
teaching  after  1880  in  Rutgers  Institute  and 
Packer  Institute. 

Work,  Henry  Clay  (Middletown,  Conn., 
1832-1884,  Hartford),  a  printer  by  trade  and 
a  self-taught  song-writer,  caught  the  popular 
ear  before  1855,  when  he  moved  to  Chicago. 
He  wrote  many  stirring  war-songs  after  1861 
and  temperance-songs  later.

The  first  real  opera-house  in  New  York  was 
opened  in  1833  (after  1835  the  National

(from  1848  Burton's  Theater),  the  Astor  Place 
Opera  House  in  1847  (given  up  in  1852  and 
later  the  Mercantile  Library),  and  the  Academy 
of  Music  in  1854.  From  1849  the  New  York 
operatic  world  was  the  scene  of  managerial 
rivalries  between  Maretzek,  the  Strakosch 
brothers  and  Ullmann. 


30  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

THE   PERIOD   AFTER   THE    CIVIL   WAR 

The  Civil  War  was  a  national  event  of  the  first  magnitude.  While  it  lasted, 
and  for  some  years  afterward,  social  life  was  much  disorganized  and  cultural  pur- 
suits suffered  a  check.  The  struggle  accentuated  the  differences  between  North 
and  South  that  had  been  previously  visible.  It  was  the  North  that  had  ex- 
perienced the  more  vigorous  development  of  physical  resources,  the  principal  in- 
fluence of  copious  immigration,  and,  in  consequence,  the  greater  broadening  of 
social  and  intellectual  interests.  So,  after  the  War,  while  for  a  time  the  South 
was  prostrated,  the  North  was  soon  ready  to  resume  powerful  advance.  By  1890, 
however,  the  South  had  so  far  recovered  that  it  began  to  take  its  due  place  in 
progress. 

During  the  half -century  between  1860  and  1910  the  total  population  grew 
from  about  31,500,000  to  about  92,000,000  —  that  is,  was  practically  tripled. 
Of  the  net  gain,  the  North  as  a  whole  secured  thirty-five  millions,  the  South 
eighteen,  and  the  Far  West  seven  and  a  half.  There  was  a  steady  shift  in  balance 
to  the  west,  so  that  the  percentage  of  population  east  of  the  Mississippi  fell  from 
86  to  70. 

During  the  fifty  years  not  less  than  23,000,000  immigrants  arrived,  the  rate 
rising  after  1905  to  more  than  a  million  per  year.  In  the  opening  decade  of  the 
20th  century  immigration  supplied  more  than  half  of  the  total  increase.  For 
the  fifty  years  it  amounted  to  almost  37  per  cent  of  that  increase.  Such  figures 
are  eloquent  as  to  the  factor  of  transition  and  instability  in  social  conditions 
so  far  as  affected  by  changes  in  population.  The  derivation  of  the  newcomers 
was  no  longer  chiefly  English  or  Teutonic,  but  for  a  time  Scandinavian,  and  then 
Italian,  Hungarian,  and  Slav. 

The  drift  toward  the  city  became  more  pronounced  than  ever.  Whereas 
in  1800  only  one  out  of  twenty-five  was  a  city-dweller,  and  in  1850  only  one  in 
eight,  in  1900  the  ratio  had  become  one  in  three.  This  increased  concentration 
tended  powerfully  to  intensify  the  mental  life  of  the  nation.  In  this  particular 
case  the  city-ward  drift  had  a  peculiar  relation  to  the  total  culture  —  one  but 
slightly  evident  earlier,  and  one  not  easily  matched  elsewhere  in  the  world.  Be- 
cause the  total  area  of  the  country  is  so  great,  the  large  cities  are  generally  far 
apart  and  consequently  tend  to  have  strong  individuality,  as  well  as  decided  in- 
fluence over  the  sections  dependent  on  them.  Nothing  quite  like  this  is  found 
in  any  single  European  country.  And  with  this  dissociation  by  mere  distance 
there  is  a  healthy  rivalry  between  them  and  between  the  several  states  or  sections 
which  they  represent.  Much  of  the  rapidity,  variety,  and  virility  of  the  develop- 
ment in  recent  decades  is  due  to  this  geographic  peculiarity  in  the  American 
situation. 

No  succinct  statement  of  the  immense  economic  activity  of  the  period  is  here 
possible.  Every  phase  of  agriculture,  mining,  manufacture,  and  internal  com- 
merce made  enormous  gains.  As  to  the  general  economic  result  it  is  enough  to 
recall  that  in  1850  the  total  'wealth'  of  the  country  (the  fair  value  of  real  and 


THE  PERIOD  AFTER  THE  CIVIL  WAR  31 

personal  property)  was  estimated  at  somewhat  over  seven  billions,  but  that  in 
1910  this  was  estimated  at  about  one  hundred  and  thirty  billions  —  or  about 
$1400  per  person.  It  was  during  the  latter  part  of  the  19th  century  that  the 
use  of  inventions  like  the  telephone  and  the  electric  railroad  became  so  general 
as  really  to  transform  the  practical  conditions  of  life  and  thought.  All  these 
factors  of  material  progress  —  and  many  more  —  had  direct  bearings  upon  the 
artistic  progress  of  the  period. 

Here  is  the  place  to  remark  that  during  this  period  occurred  the  expansion  of 
the  great  Dominion  of  Canada,  which  was  formed  in  1867  out  of  the  then  existent 
provinces  of  Lower  Canada  or  Quebec  and  Upper  Canada  or  Ontario,  with  New 
Brunswick  and  Nova  Scotia.  In  the  next  fifteen  years  this  area  was  augmented 
by  the  administrative  inclusion  of  the  whole  vast  territory  westward  to  the  Pacific 
and  northward  as  well.  British  Columbia,  on  the  west  coast,  was  admitted  in 
1871,  and  the  great  Northwest  Territories  (Manitoba,  Assiniboia,  Saskatchewan, 
Alberta,  Keewatin,  Athabasca,  Mackenzie  and  Yukon)  were  systematically 
developed  so  that  since  1905  they  have  all  been  counted  as  constituent  provinces. 

The  total  area  of  the  Dominion  is  larger  than  that  of  the  United  States  proper, 
so  that  it  is  much  the  largest  division  of  the  British  Empire.  But,  owing  to  the 
rigorous  climate  in  many  parts  of  it  and  to  the  recency  of  its  decided  advance, 
its  population  is  on  the  whole  small  —  between  eight  and  nine  millions.  On- 
tario, however,  in  the  center,  has  had  a  commercial,  social  and  artistic  unfolding 
similar  to  that  of  the  neighboring  United  States,  though,  as  is  natural,  emphati- 
cally dependent  upon  England.  Since  the  setting  up  of  the  unified  Dominion 
its  cultural  advance  has  been  quite  as  remarkable  as  that  of  the  United  States, 
though  the  bulk  of  it  is  necessarily  less. 

The  population  is  prevailingly  British  in  origin  except  in  the  Province  of 
Quebec  and  eastern  Ontario,  where  the  French  have  always  been  numerous ; 
but  western  Ontario,  Manitoba  and  even  the  provinces  beyond  have  received 
many  of  other  nationalities  by  immigration  from  near-by  portions  of  the  United 
States. 

The  large  cities  are  Montreal,  Toronto,  Winnipeg,  Vancouver,  Ottawa, 
Hamilton  and  Quebec. 

« 

Among  the  forces  that  explain  the  extraordinary  progress  of  music  after  1865 
in  both  the  United  States  and  Canada  a  large  place  must  be  given  to  the  indirect 
influence  of  organized  education.  In  the  United  States  the  educational  purpose 
of  the  colonial  settlers  declared  itself  early  in  the  founding  of  'colleges/  At 
least  thirty  of  these  which  still  flourish  were  established  before  1800,  representing 
every  State  from  Maine  to  South  Carolina  and  Tennessee  except  one.  The  process 
of  college-founding  went  on  with  growing  momentum  throughout  the  19th  cen- 
tury, spreading  a  network  of  institutions  over  nearly  the  whole  country,  until 
now  they  number  over  600,  of  which  about  140  are  for  men,  110  for  women  and 
the  rest  for  both  sexes.  They  naturally  differ  widely  in  grade  and  scope.  Some 


32  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

are  really  'academies'  or  detached  'high  schools.'  Others  are  members  of  true 
university  systems.  Most  of  them  represent  types  that  are  more  or  less  peculiar 
to  America. 

A  closely  related  movement  after  1800  was  the  development  of  'public 
schools,'  distributed  according  to  need  and  maintained  by  taxes  laid  upon  the 
communities  served.  The  total  system,  although  analogous  to  that  of  some 
other  countries,  has  always  had  strong  individuality,  especially  in  its  expression 
of  the  spirit  of  democracy.  During  the  19th  century  it  had  a  prodigious  expan- 
sion and  gradually  acquired  somewhat  standardized  methods  of  grading  and  classi- 
fication, with  the  addition  of  the  kindergarten  and  other  primary  forms  at  the 
bottom  and  of  'high  schools'  at  the  top,  besides  many  'normal  schools'  and 
'  teachers'  colleges '  for  the  preparation  of  the  teaching-force.  Most  of  the  '  state 
universities'  belong  technically  to  this  general  class,  being  free  civic  establishments, 
but  some  of  them  originated  as  'colleges.'  They  aim  to  provide  specialized 
opportunities  in  many  distinct  fields  of  knowledge. 

Organized  education  has  also  become  highly  developed  in  many  other  direc- 
tions, especially  in  preparation  for  various  occupations,  like  law,  medicine, 
theology,  engineering,  mining,  agriculture,  etc.  Private  schools  for  the  youth 
of  both  sexes,  too,  have  become  increasingly  common.  Still  other  lines  of  effort 
might  be  specified. 

No  exact  appraisal  is  possible  of  the  reaction  of  this  manifold  activity  upon 
that  form  of  culture  which  demands  artistic  expression.  The  one  normally 
stands  to  the  other  in  some  relation  of  cause  and  effect.  All  '  education '  does 
not  issue  in  artistic  aspiration.  But  such  aspiration  does  not  attain  general 
popular  significance  except  where  there  is  a  wide  educational  basis.  In  both 
the  'college'  and  the  'school'  systems  of  America  artistic  topics  were  long 
almost  ignored.  And  yet  every  step  in  the  development  of  these  systems 
helped  to  prepare  the  way  for  the  rational  pursuit  of  artistic  topics.  It  was 
not  until  after  the  Civil  War  that  the  study  and  cultivation  of  music  began 
definitely  to  show  the  results  of  the  previous  activities  in  general  education. 
As  musical  enterprises  took  shape  their  educational  connections  were  evident. 
It  was  in  this  period  that  instructors  and  professors  of  music  began  to  become 
common  in  colleges  and  universities,  that  instruction  in  music  in  public  schools 
began  to  be  widely  and  permanently  adopted,  that  responsible  music-schools 
began  to  be  founded,  that  the  occupation  of  music-teaching  began  to  be 
recognized  as  a  'profession,'  that  regular  concert- and  opera-series  began  to  be 
established,  that  choral  societies  and  orchestras  began  to  be  organized  in  such  a 
way  as  to  continue,  that  influential  musical  periodicals  and  books  began  to  multi- 
ply, and  thus  that  the  whole  social  and  intellectual  status  of  musical  art  began 
to  acquire  general  significance.  With  this  came,  of  course,  a  great  unfolding  of 
artistic  power  in  performance,  composition  and  technical  appreciation.  Cer- 
tainly any  consideration  of  the  sudden  outburst  of  musical  interest  which  is 
implied,  for  instance,  in  the  appended  lists  of  musical  workers  appearing  between 
1860  and  1900  must  take  into  account  its  relation  to  the  preceding  advance  in 


THE  PERIOD  AFTER  THE   CIVIL  WAR  33 

popular  'education/  even  though  baffled  when  it  attempts  to  describe  the  opera- 
tion of  all  the  factors  with  precision. 

The  important  point  to  be  borne  in  mind  is  that  there  has  always  been  a  pe- 
culiar zeal  in  America  for  the  development  of  education  democratically  —  not 
created  by  the  general  government,  but  locally  or  corporately  sustained,  and  not 
for  any  class,  but  for  the  whole  people.  When  at  length  this  zeal  began  to  take 
hold  of  the  problem  of  musical  education,  it  moved  with  surprising  celerity  and 
enterprise  —  not  always,  perhaps,  with  the  utmost  wisdom  as  neasured  by  the 
thought  of  a  half-century  later,  but  at  least  with  striking  vigor  and  practical 
result. 

In  seeking  to  analyze  the  forces  that  came  into  play  after  the  Civil  War  the 
first  place  belongs  to  the  private  teachers.  At  the  beginning  of  the  period  a 
majority  of  the  best  of  these  were  doubtless  of  foreign  birth.  But  by  1900,  though 
foreigners  were  absolutely  more  numerous,  they  were  relatively  much  less  in 
evidence.  No  statistics  are  available,  but  it  is  clear  that  the  total  number 
of  American  teachers  increased  prodigiously  between  1865  and  1900,  and  their 
geographical  distribution  became  extensive.  It  goes  without  saying,  also,  that 
in  this  period  there  was  great  improvement  in  their  average  equipment  and  ar- 
tistic outlook.  Music-teaching  became,  as  it  had  not  been  earlier,  a  recognized 
educational  occupation,  and  began  to  give  tokens  of  the  ideality  and  aspiration 
that  mark  a  true  'profession.'  One  sign  of  awakening  self -consciousness  was  the 
starting  of  teachers'  associations  (from  about  1875),  both  national  and  local. 
More  and  more  it  was  seen  that  for  good  teaching  good  preparation  is  requisite. 
Every  teacher  who  was  finely  equipped  tended  to  create  a  widening  circle  of 
followers.  Competition  operated  to  stimulate  the  able  and  to  eliminate  the  feeble. 
Whatever  gains  there  were  in  general  pedagogical  practice  gradually  made  their 
way  into  the  field  of  musical  pedagogy  as  a  specialty.  Teaching  music  certainly 
became  steadily  more  systematic  and  rational  rather  than  spasmodic  and  in- 
tuitional. Text-books  and  'methods'  were  published  in  increasing  numbers, 
and  discussion  of  teaching-praxis  grew  animated  and  thoughtful.  Gradually 
about  the  army  of  teachers  grew  up  a  great  clientage  of  pupils,  attracted,  no 
doubt,  by  a  variety  of  considerations,  but  more  and  more  subjected  to  what- 
ever of  information,  sympathy  and  inspiration  there  was  in  the  teaching-body. 
It  is  impossible  to  adduce  exact  evidence  in  detail,  but  no  one  can  compare  the 
musical  situation  in  1865  and  that  in  1900  without  realizing  in  some  degree  that  an 
enormous  pervasive  force  of  personal  influence  had  been  exerted  in  transforming 
the  one  into  the  other. 

One  of  the  chief  means  of  recruiting  the  ranks  of  teachers  are  music-schools. 
At  the  opening  of  this  period  such  schools  were  almost  unknown.  At  its  end 
they  were  scattered  rather  freely  throughout  the  country.  The  most  influential 
pioneers  were  the  Oberlin  Conservatory  and  the  New  England  Conservatory  in 
Boston,  founded  in  1865  and  1867  respectively.  The  former  soon  became  the 
forerunner  of  the  institutional  or  collegiate  type  (though  not  technically  so  at 
first),  as  the  latter  was  of  the  independent  or  detached  type.  The  former  also

represented  the  class  of  those  in  small  towns  where  general  education  is  a  con- 
trolling interest,  while  the  latter  represented  the  class  of  those  in  large  cities, 
where  many  collateral  advantages  are  available.  It  was  the  second  type  that  was 
first  strongly  developed.  As  instances  it  is  enough  to  refer  to  the  Cincinnati 
Conservatory  (1867),  the  Chicago  Musical  College  (1867),  the  Peabody  Conser- 
vatory in  Baltimore  (1868),  the  Philadelphia  Musical  Academy  (1869),  the  Cleve- 
land Conservatory  (1871),  the  Detroit  Conservatory  (1874),  the  College  of  Music 
in  Cincinnati  (1878),  the  New  York  College  of  Music  (1878),  the  Cleveland  School 
of  Music  (1884),  the  National  Conservatory  in  New  York  (1885),  the  Chicago 
Conservatory  (1885),  the  Northwestern  Conservatory  in  Minneapolis  (1885), 
the  American  Conservatory  in  Chicago  (1886)  and  the  Toronto  Conservatory 
(1886).  No  extensive  musical  work  was  common  in  colleges  or  universities  till 
later.  And  yet  it  is  to  be  remembered  that  there  had  been  musical  instructors 
at  Oberlin  College  since  1838,  at  the  University  of  Toronto  since  1845,  and  at  both 
Yale  College  and  the  University  of  Virginia  since  1849,  and  that  after  1860  such 
significant  appointments  were  made  as  those  of  J.  K.  Paine  at  Harvard  College 
in  1862,  F.  L.  Ritter  at  Vassar  College  in  1867,  J.  C.  Fillmore  at  Ripon  College  in 
1868,  M.  W.  Chase  at  Hillsdale  College  in  1869,  Thomas  a  Becket  at  Girard 
College  in  1870,  Max  Piutti  at  Wells  College  in  1874,  H.  A.  Clarke  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania,  F.  A.  Parker  at  the  University  of  Wisconsin  and  Willard 
Kimball  at  Grinnell  College  in  1875,  G.  W.  Chadwick  at  Olivet  College  in  1876, 
W.  H.  Schultze  at  Syracuse  University  and  R.  A.  Heritage  at  Valparaiso  Univer- 
sity in  1877,  B.  C.  Blodgett  at  Smith  College  in  1878,  C.  B.  Cady  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  and  Louis  Lisser  at  Mills  College  in  1880,  W.  A.  Chalfant  at 
Drury  College  in  1881,  Karl  Merz  at  Wooster  University  in  1882,  J.  W.  Hill  at 
Wellesley  College  and  J.  H.  Howe  at  DePauw  University  in  1884,  W.  F.  Bent- 
ley  at  Knox  College  in  1885  and  C.  H.  Farnsworth  at  the  University  of  Colorado 
in  1888.  In  the  large  majority  of  cases  the  instruction  thus  initiated  led  to  the 
formation  of  strong  and  flourishing  departments  or  schools  of  music.  From  the 
first  the  collegiate  and  the  independent  types  of  institution  have  been  distinct, 
but  each  has  rendered  substantial  service  to  the  total  progress. 

During  this  period  the  attitude  toward  music  in  the  public  schools  changed 
from  comparative  apathy  to  decided  interest  and  even  considerable  sustained 
endeavor.  By  1900  the  children  in  many  places  were  learning  something  of  song 
as  they  did  of  other  subjects,  and  the  function  of  music-supervisor  was  beginning 
to  assume  dignity  in  pedagogical  discussion.  Many  manuals  of  instruction  had 
been  published,  and  there  was  almost  amusing  contention  over  methods. 

These  powerful  influences  were  greatly  stimulated  and  broadened  by  those  of 
another  class,  equally  educational  in  real  value,  but  operating  through  the  ave- 
nue of  public  performance  rather  than  that  of  personal  instruction. 

One  of  these  was  the  steady  formation  of  choral  societies  of  varying  degrees  of 
importance,  working  out  somewhat  freely  into  clubs  for  the  study  of  secular  as 
well  as  sacred  music,  of  glees  and  part-songs  as  well  as  oratorios.  There  is  no 
roster  of  these  associations  available.  Some  lasted  but  a  few  years,  like  many  of 


THE  PERIOD  AFTER  THE  CIVIL  WAR  35 

their  predecessors.  Some  grew  into  established  institutions,  especially  in  the 
large  cities  and  in  connection  with  some  colleges,  exerting  a  cumulative  cultural 
influence  upon  singers  and  communities  —  indirectly,  also,  providing  fields  for 
the  artistic  ability  of  vocal  soloists  and  presently  of  orchestras.  In  the  one  year 
1873  the  Oratorio  Society  in  New  York,  the  Apollo  Club  in  Chicago  and  the 
Cincinnati  Festival  Association  were  founded  —  three  diverse  enterprises,  each 
highly  influential  in  its  way.  A  score  of  other  societies  might  be  named  that 
were  started  before  1890  in  different  places  and  that  have  continued  effective. 

Another  potent  force  was  the  formation  of  orchestras  and  of  ensemble-groups. 
Here  the  virile  ardor  of  Theodore  Thomas  was  a  leading  factor.  In  1864  he  or- 
ganized Symphony  Soirees  in  New  York  and  in  1869  made  his  first  concert-tour 
—  a  practice  continued  till  1878.  As  examples  of  other  significant  efforts  may  be 
named  the  Philharmonic  Society  of  Chicago  (1860-68),  the  orchestra  of  the 
Harvard  Musical  Association  (1865-82),  which  prepared  the  way  for  the  Boston 
|  Symphony  Orchestra  (1881),  and  the  Symphony  Society  of  New  York  (1878). 
|  Although  ensemble-groups  kept  springing  up  from  time  to  time,  none  can  be  said 
to  have  exerted  a  truly  national  influence  until  the  formation  in  1886  of  the 
Kneisel  Quartet.  It  is  plain  that  the  stimulus  supplied  by  the  steadily  increas- 
ing number  of  concerts  in  various  places  from  1870  onward  by  bands  of  highly- 
trained  artists  was  of  utmost  importance  in  lifting  the  level  of  knowledge,  appre- 
ciation and  desire  among  a  multitude  of  hearers.  Such  concerts,  with  those  by 
competent  soloists,  whether  resident  or  visiting,  effected  a  vast  amount  of  edu- 
cation by  demonstration. 

The  analogous  influence  of  operatic  performances  is  necessarily  more  fitful 
and  irregular,  except  when  nucleated  by  the  erection  of  permanent  buildings 
intended  for  them.  From  1870  onward,  just  as  at  intervals  for  a  century  before, 
American  audiences  had  varied  chances  to  hear  opera  of  different  kinds  given  by 
visiting  troupes.  But  the  establishment  of  opera  as  a  fixed  element  of  popular 
culture  was  specially  promoted  by  the  existence  of  such  buildings  as  the  Theatre 
d'Orleans  in  New  Orleans  (1813-66)  and  the  Academy  of  Music  in  New  York 
(erected  in  1854  and  used  for  opera  till  1886),  which  prepared  the  way  for  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  1883,  and  also  by  the  opening  in  Chicago  of  the 
Crosby  Opera  House  in  1865,  which,  though  destroyed  in  the  great  fire  of  1871, 
in  the  same  way  prepared  for  the  Auditorium  in  1889.  Even  where  such  build- 
ings were  not  at  hand  various  opera-companies  appeared  as  visiting  troupes  in 
theaters  with  more  and  more  regularity,  so  that  before  1900  a  long  list  of  works 
had  been  brought  before  an  extensive  clientage  of  hearers. 

The  holding  of  '  festivals '  was  also  a  feature  of  the  period.  To  a  slight  degree 
these  recall  the  '  conventions '  of  an  earlier  time,  but  their  artistic  level  was  much 
higher.  The  so-called  'Peace  Jubilees'  at  Boston  in  1869  and  1872,  organized 
under  Gilmore,  were  monster  affairs,  too  big  to  be  satisfactory,  and  yet  not  with- 
out a  considerable  stimulating  value  upon  popular  interest.  Much  more  im- 
portant were  the  choral  festivals  at  intervals  arranged  by  permanent  organiza- 
tions. The  first  of  these  was  inaugurated  in  1865  by  the  Handel  and  Haydn 


36  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

Society  of  Boston  in  celebration  of  its  fiftieth  anniversary  and  continued  triennially 
thereafter.  About  the  same  time  began  the  annual  festivals  at  the  neighbor- 
ing city  of  Worcester.  In  Cincinnati,  growing  out  of  interest  aroused  by  gather- 
ings held  for  many  years  by  German  singing-clubs,  a  festival  was  held  in  1873 
under  Thomas,  followed  by  the  formation  of  a  Festival  Association  to  maintain 
a  biennial  series.  In  1881  Damrosch  organized  a  festival  in  New  York  with  the 
Oratorio  and  Symphony  Societies  as  the  nucleus  of  the  forces.  In  1882  and  1884 
Thomas  held  festivals  in  Chicago.  The  musical  features  of  the  Columbian  Ex- 
position at  Chicago  in  1893,  of  which  Thomas  was  general  director,  amounted 
to  a  prolonged  festival,  lasting  over  three  months.  These  conspicuous  illustra- 
tions of  the  festival  idea  led  to  many  less  ambitious  undertakings,  so  that  by  1900 
clusters  of  choral  and  instrumental  concerts,  usually  held  once  a  year,  had  be- 
come fairly  numerous.  As  a  rule,  all  these  enterprises  have  proved  decidedly 
effective  as  educational  forces,  though  there  is  an  obvious  difficulty  in  holding 
them  to  any  consistent  artistic  policy. 

Among  smaller  factors  in  the  development  after  the  Civil  War  reference  should 
be  made  to  church-music.  This  type  of  musical  effort  has  always  presented  much 
more  variety  in  America  than  in  other  countries,  since  there  is  no  state  church 
and  no  one  communion  holds  the  primacy.  The  differences  between  different 
parts  of  the  country  also  affect  usages,  as  do  those  between  urban  and  rural 
communities.  Yet  the  very  number  of  distinct  'denominations/  many  of  them 
large  and  finely  organized,  and  even  their  marked  differences  of  liturgical  ten- 
dency, have  on  the  whole  broadened  the  field  of  musical  opportunity.  It  is 
striking  how  many  of  the  musicians  just  after  the  Civil  War  were  organists  or 
church-singers.  In  this  period  in  the  older  parts  of  the  country  the  ideals  of 
sacred  music  underwent  a  marked  change  from  those  of  the  'psalmody'  period. 
Choir-music  was  more  emphasized  than  congregational  singing,  and  organ-play- 
ing for  accompaniment  or  alone  became  more  conspicuous.  Whatever  may  have 
been  the  result  devotionally,  the  practical  effect  on  popular  interest  in  music  was 
useful.  In  studying  the  total  progress  of  the  time  this  factor  cannot  be  ignored. 

Place  must  also  be  made  for  the  rise  of  musical  literature  in  the  hands  of 
critics,  editors  and  authors,  and  of  collections  of  musical  books.  Musical  peri- 
odicals were  by  no  means  new  to  America  in  1865  —  D wight's  *  Journal  of  Music,' 
which  began  in  1852,  went  on  till  1881,  not  to  speak  of  many  less  or  earlier  under- 
takings —  but  they  now  began  to  grow  more  numerous  and  to  exert  more  in- 
fluence. The  daily  newspapers  were  quick  to  magnify  the  criticism  —  or,  better, 
the  reporting  —  of  important  concerts  and  operas,  at  least  in  the  larger  centers. 
It  is  significant  that  Hassard  joined  the  staff  of  the  New  York  'Tribune'  in  1866, 
setting  a  pattern  that  several  others  imitated  or  bettered  soon  afterward.  By 
about  1880  the  issue  of  books  upon  musical  subjects  had  begun  to  make  some 
show  in  the  total  annual  output.  Data  concerning  private  libraries  are  not  ac- 
cessible, but  it  is  worth  noting  that  the  New  York  Public  Library  contains  the 
Drexel  Collection,  presented  in  1888  to  the  Lenox  Library,  but  catalogued  in 
1869-71 ;  that  the  Newberry  Library  in  Chicago  began  systematic  acquisitions 


THE  PERIOD  AFTER  THE  CIVIL  WAR

in  1888 ;  that  in  1894  the  Boston  Public  Library  received  the  Brown  Collection ; 
and  that  the  Music  Division  of  the  Library  of  Congress  in  Washington  was  defi- 
nitely constituted  in  1897.  In  this  connection,  also,  it  should  be  recalled  that 
the  nucleus  of  the  Brown  Collection  of  Instruments,  now  in  the  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art  in  New  York,  was  formed  in  1884-89.  All  these  undertakings 
imply  an  advancement  of  intellectual  interest  in  music  of  which  there  were  only 
rare  and  small  indications  prior  to  the  Civil  War. 

It  is  instructive  to  observe  how  the  decades  after  1860  gradually  bring  into 
view  musicians  of  American  birth  who  presently  gained  real  and  permanent  dis- 
tinction as  either  performers,  composers  or  conductors.  That  these  represent 
on  the  whole  a  much  higher  standard  and  spirit  than  those  of  earlier  periods  is 
obvious.  Most  of  them  secured  extended  discipline  abroad,  usually  in  Germany. 
Their  number,  the  variety  of  their  interests  and  the  scope  of  their  professional 
influence  rapidly  increases,  so  that  even  before  1900  the  phrase  'the  American 
school'  became  perhaps  prematurely  frequent.  Of  those  first  appearing  after 
1860  the  most  conspicuous  were  Buck  and  Paine ;  of  those  after  1870,  Chad  wick, 
Foote,  Gilchrist,  and  Gleason ;  of  those  after  1880,  Mrs.  Beach,  Kelley,  MacDowell 
and  Parker ;  and  of  those  after  1890,  Converse,  Gilbert,  Hadley  and  Oldberg. 
Six  of  them  have  now  died,  but  none  of  them  before  1900.  Much  of  the  most 
creative  work  of  all  these  dates  from  after  that  time.  It  is  not  therefore  the 
bulk  or  the  absolutely  original  quality  of  American  composition  before  1900 
that  arrests  attention  —  except  the  remarkable  work  of  MacDowell  —  but  the 
fresh,  ambitious,  thoughtful  and  confident  spirit  that  animates  it.  It  all  gives 
token  of  that  striking  animation  and  expansion  in  musical  art  which  is  the 
impressive  characteristic  of  the  period  as  a  whole. 

With  reference  to  this  and  other  features  of  the  time  a  survey  of  the  four 
chronological  groups  of  names  below  is  full  of  suggestion.

developing  musical  taste  by  recitals  and  teach- 
ing. After  about  1880  he  was  head  of  the 
piano-department  at  the  College  of  Music. 

*Arnold,  Richard  (Prussia,  1845-1918,  New

No  one  who  studies  the  details  of  musical  activity  in  America  — as  suggested, 
for  example,  in  the  lists  of  persons  here  given,  or  as  otherwise  brought  together  — 
can  miss  the  fact  that  from  1880  onward  there  was  a  noteworthy  awakening  of 
artistic  interest  and  effort  in  all  directions.  The  number  of  significant  foreign 
musicians  who  now  become  residents  is  at  least  twice  that  in  any  preceding  decade, 
and  the  number  of  those  native-born  increases  in  almost  the  same  proportion. 
Part  of  this  merely  statistical  appearance  may  be  due  to  the  lack  before  about 
1880  of  systematic  effort  to  make  record  of  the  lives  and  work  of  musicians.  But 
the  fact  remains  impressive  after  all  allowances. 

Certain  events,  already  mentioned,  were  specially  important.  One  was  the 
founding  in  1881  of  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra,  destined  to  become  an  edu- 
cational force  felt  throughout  the  country.  Another  was  the  fruitage  of  the 
many  years  of  faithful  planting  of  taste  and  aptitude  on  the  part  of  the  veteran 
Theodore  Thomas.  Another  was  the  establishment  in  New  York  in  1884-85  of 
German  opera  under  Leopold  Damrosch  on  a  scale  and  with  a  popular  appeal  that 
were  unprecedented.  Another  was  the  extension  of  series  of  classical  concerts  in 
many  places,  gradually  opening  the  minds  of  widening  circles  of  hearers  to  the 
wealth  of  sterling  musical  literature.  Another  was  the  coming  to  bear  of  the 
influence  of  the  earlier  conservatories  through  their  graduates,  who  now  begin  tc 
become  centers  of  stimulus  as  private  teachers.  In  connection  with  all  these,  as  ir 


52  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

arousing  proper  interest  in  the  ability  of  native  composers  and  performers,  the 
increase  of  rational  criticism  and  discussion  in  periodicals  and  books  played  no 
small  part. 

Quite  apart  from  these  specific  factors  in  progress,  it  may  be  that  much  of  the 
sudden  access  of  momentum  musically  was  due  to  diffused  influences  permeating 
the  whole  social  fabric.  The  strain  of  the  Civil  War  time  was  passing  away,  and 
a  new  era  of  consolidated  advance  in  things  economic,  political  and  educational 
was  setting  in.  The  observer  of  musical  progress  notes  the  reaction  of  all  this  in 
his  own  field.  Doubtless  observers  in  other  fields  would  note  it  similarly  in  theirs. 

Here  is  an  appropriate  point  to  refer  to  the  influence  of  national  and  inter- 
national expositions.  Those  held  in  Europe  prior  to  1880  had  no  relation  to  the 
advance  of  music  in  America  except  as  they  stimulated  makers  of  instruments  — 
chiefly  pianos  —  to  compete  for  recognition.  But  those  held  in  the  United  States 
from  1876  onward  not  only  gave  a  similar  industrial  impetus,  but  usually  exalted 
elaborate  musical  features  into  prominence  and  thus  contributed  positively  to 
popular  education. 

The  first  of  the  larger  American  expositions  was  the  Centennial,  held  at  Phila- 
delphia in  1876.  Aside  from  some  general  exercises  and  frequent  piano-  and 
organ-recitals,  its  main  importance  to  music  was  in  the  display  and  competition 
of  instruments.  The  second  was  the  Columbian,  held  at  Chicago  in  1893.  Here 
the  musical  provisions  were  extraordinarily  profuse  and  generally  superior,  largely 
due  to  the  imagination,  energy  and  authority  of  Theodore  Thomas,  and  the 
impress  upon  popular  thought  was  correspondingly  significant.  The  third  was 
the  Louisiana  Purchase,  held  at  St.  Louis  in  1904,  at  which  the  effort  was  made  to 
emulate  the  musical  elaboration  of  its  Chicago  predecessor,  though  without 
achieving  quite  the  same  practical  success.  Meanwhile  a  host  of  lesser  expositions 
were  brought  to  pass  —  among  them  the  California  Mid-Winter  at  San  Francisco 
in  1894,  the  Trans-Mississippi  at  Omaha  in  1898,  and  the  Pan-American  at  Buffalo 
in  1901  —  all  taking  pains  to  magnify  music  in  a  greater  or  less  degree.  To  these 
may  be  added  —  though  outside  the  period  here  under  review  —  those  at  James- 
town in  1907,  at  Portland  and  Seattle  in  1905  and  1909,  and,  still  more  important, 
the  Panama  celebrations  at  San  Diego  and  San  Francisco  in  1915-16. 

The  cultural  reaction  of  these  numerous  and  often  immense  undertakings  is 
beyond  question.  In  the  domain  of  the  fine  arts  they  tended  to  arouse  interest 
and  elevate  taste  in  regard  to  architecture,  painting,  sculpture  and  music  by  means 
of  manifold  demonstrations  of  a  more  or  less  monumental  kind. 

In  analyzing  the  lists  of  names  that  follow,  attention  should  be  given  not 
only  to  the  wider  range  from  which  both  the  foreign-born  and  the  native-born 
oome,  but  also  to  the  wider  range  geographically  and  occupationally  to  which 
they  go.  If  the  facts  could  be  depicted  graphically,  it  would  appear  that  both 
derivations  and  destinations  now  begin  to  spread  out  like  the  unfolding  leaves 
of  a  fan.

80  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

THE   OPENING   OF   THE   TWENTIETH   CENTURY 

It  may  seem  that  there  is  no  evident  reasok  for  breaking  into  two  parts  the 
half-century  between  the  end  of  the  Civil  War  in  1865  and  the  outbreak  of  the 
World  War  in  1914.  During  this  half-century  the  United  States  and  Canada 
moved  forward  continuously  along  lines  of  development  that  did  not  essentially 
change  except  in  momentum  and  acceleration.  Because  of  this  apparent  con- 
tinuity certain  statements  in  earlier  paragraphs  were  allowed  to  range  across  the 
hypothetical  line  dividing  the  19th  from  the  20th  century. 

But,  on  the  other  hand,  especially  as  concerns  the  United  States,  the  two 
recent  decades  are  distinct  as  a  historical  period.  The  date  1900  stands  out  as  a 
convenient  landmark  for  a  significant  alteration  in  the  world-relations  of  both  the 
United  States  and  Canada  —  an  alteration  that  brought  with  it  important  shifts 
of  internal  life  and  consciousness.  From  the  Civil  War  onward  was  a  time  of 
national  consolidation  on  an  unexampled  scale  in  both  countries.  After  1900  this 
became  transformed  into  a  time  of  international  outlook  and  adjustment,  also 
unexampled  and  as  yet  of  somewhat  unpredictable  results.  Regarding  this  a  few 
illustrative  points  may  well  be  cited. 

On  the  commercial  side  it  is  enough  to  note  that  in  1900  for  the  first  time  the 
annual  foreign  trade  of  the  United  States  crossed  the  two-billion  mark.  In  1910 
it  was  over  three  billions,  in  1913  over  four,  and  in  1919  over  ten.  The  average 
volume  of  exports  in  the  twenty  years  since  1900  has  been  more  than  seven  times 
what  it  was  in  the  twenty  years  before  1900.  Not  only  has  the  volume  thus  ex- 
panded, but  the  character  of  this  vast  international  commerce  has  become  infinitely 
diversified  and  its  geographical  scope  has  been  extended  into  all  corners  of  the 
earth.  Thus  America  has  recently  become  linked  by  the  cords  of  trade,  as  never 
before,  with  all  lands  and  peoples. 

On  the  diplomatic  side,  also,  the  years  just  before  and  after  1900  set  the 
United  States  into  relations  with  other  nations  that  were  unprecedented.  In 
1898  occurred  the  brief,  but  momentous,  contest  with  Spain,  leading  to  the  acquisi- 
tion of  the  Philippines  and  Porto  Rico  and  indirectly  to  that  of  the  Hawaiian 
Islands.  In  1896  had  begun  the  spectacular  exploitation  of  Alaska,  and  in  1904 
the  cutting  of  the  Panama  Canal  was  undertaken  in  earnest  (opened  to  trade  in 
1914).  In  1900-01  came  the  Boxer  Uprising  in  China  and  in  1904-05  the  Russo- 
Japanese  War,  in  the  progress  and  settlement  of  both  of  which  the  United  States 
was  forced  to  bear  a  part.  These  events,  with  their  political  involutions,  though 
mostly  located  in  the  region  of  the  Pacific  Ocean,  really  served  to  push  the  United 
States  into  intimate  and  vital  connection  with  world-politics  and  world-tend- 
encies.—  a  connection  that  rapidly  became  closer  until  crowned  in  1917  by  its 
impassioned  union  with  the  Allies  in  their  struggle  against  German  imperialism. 
Thus  the  opening  decades  of  the  20th  century  widened  the  horizon  and  altered 
the  perspective  of  America's  thought  and  sentiment  beyond  anything  previously 
experienced.  That  all  this  is  to  have  profound  reactions  upon  its  future  culture 
cannot  be  doubted. 


THE  OPENING  OF  THE  TWENTIETH  CENTURY  81 

Another  aspect  of  international  relationship  is  suggested  by  the  statistics  of 
immigration.  In  1900  the  United  States  proper  had  a  population  of  about  79 
millions,  in  1910  about  92  millions,  and  in  1920  presumably  about  105  millions  — 
an  increase  per  decade  of  about  15  per  cent.  Of  this  increase  immigration  supplied 
a  larger  proportion  than  ever  before.  In  1903-14  the  inflow  was  at  the  rate  of 
almost  a  million  per  year.  Seven-eighths  of  the  14J  millions  of  aliens  received 
in  1900-19  came  from  eight  countries  —  Italy  and  Austria-Hungary,  each  nearly 
22  per  cent ;  Russia,  18  per  cent ;  Great  Britain,  over  9  per  cent ;  Canada,  about 
5£  per  cent ;  Scandinavia,  5  per  cent ;  Germany,  3^-  per  cent ;  and  Greece,  about 
2-|  per  cent.  The  balance  of  derivation  is  thus  in  sharp  contrast  with  all  earlier 
records,  the  proportion  from  Italy,  Austria  and  Russia  being  unexampled.  This 
fact  —  with  many  lesser  points  that  cannot  here  be  enumerated  —  indicates  that 
America's  internationalization  since  1900  was  not  only  in  external  relations,  but 
in  internal  elements.  Its  foreign-born  population  was  larger  than  ever,  and  the 
derivation  of  that  population  was  indefinitely  more  diversified.  It  is  true  that  this 
portentous  fact  has  seemed  to  many  depressing,  especially  since  they  feel  that  just 
when  American  society  was  gaining  a  wider  and  nobler  vision  over  the  world  at 
large  its  lower  strata  were  being  made  heavy  and  inert,  if  nothing  worse,  by  the 
influx  of  multitudes  who  were  ignorant  and  clannish,  uninspired  by  anything 
but  greed.  In  the  19th  century  it  is  known  that  the  United  States  was  greatly 
enriched  by  the  flood  of  immigration,  but  this  has  seemed  to  some  not  to  be  the 
case  with  the  new  flood  with  which  the  20th  century  began.  Acknowledging  all 
the  difficulties  of  assimilation  that  now  exist,  however,  it  is  a  fair  question 
whether  in  the  long  run  America  is  not  to  be  infinitely  enriched  again  by  the  fresh 
racial  elements  that  are  being  poured  into  its  composite  life.  Particularly  is  this 
likely  on  the  side  of  its  imaginative  and  artistic  culture,  since  the  new  strains  of 
sentiment  and  tradition  are  undoubtedly  intensely  strong  and  eager.  There  are 
already  signs  that  this  recent  impulse  is  to  have  musical  consequences. 

Here  is  the  appropriate  place  to  remark  upon  an  intricate  problem  in  all  Ameri- 
can history,  particularly  in  its  cultural  history,  namely,  the  part  played  by  those 
who  are  Americans  only  by  migration  and  adoption.  In  the  field  of  music  it  is 
evident  that  since  about  1840  all  progress  has  been  affected  —  often  dominated  — 
by  the  influence  of  those  who  were  foreigners  by  birth  and  training.  This  factor 
in  the  historic  equation  is  in  America  much  greater  than  in  any  other  musical 
country.  It  has  always  been  natural  for  America  to  welcome  the  foreigner, 
whether  visitor  or  settler.  When  native  musicians  were  few  and  inexperienced, 
the  coming  of  seasoned  artists  from  abroad  was  in  every  way  fruitful.  So  many  of 
them  proved  teachers  and  leaders  of  power  that  a  tradition  formed  itself  that  the 
places  of  most  distinction,  the  ranks  of  organizations  like  orchestras  and  opera- 
companies,  and,  of  course,  the  items  upon  standard  programs  for  performance, 
should  all  be  given  to  them.  Inspection  of  the  lists  given  in  the  middle  sections 
of  the  Chronological  Register  accompanying  this  Introduction  suggests  ample 
reason  why  this  tradition  should  have  become  established.  Later  sections  of  the 
Register  indicate  how  the  proportion  and  importance  of  native  musicians  have 


82  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

steadily  increased.  In  view  of  this  advance  the  persistence  of  the  old  tradition 
in  favor  of  music  and  musicians  from  overseas  has  since  1900  become  increasingly 
unfortunate. 

It  needs  to  be  remembered,  however,  that  alien-born  musicians  are  not  all  of 
one  class.  Some  of  them,  no  doubt,  are  mere  visitors  —  even  when  they  prolong 
their  stay  for  several  years  —  transient  exploiters  of  this  among  many  fields  of 
professional  e"clat  and  profit.  Again,  some  settle  permanently,  and  even  acquire 
technical  citizenship,  without  really  losing  their  exotic  quality  —  especially 
in  the  larger  cities  —  so  that,  though  they  are  in  America,  they  are  not  properly 
of  it.  But  the  larger  number  in  their  transplanting  become  so  firmly  rooted  and 
acclimated  that  they  are  not  essentially  diverse  from  many  native-born  musicians 
who  have  had  training  abroad.  They  must  be  counted  as  in  a  sense  true  Ameri- 
cans, just  as  the  settlers  of  the  18th  century  were.  Many  of  them  at  the  time  of 
their  coming  are  either  older  than  their  immediate  American  associates  or  have 
had  experience  of  more  breadth  and  intensity.  Hence,  so  far  as  they  are  artists 
of  a  'picked'  class,  it  is  not  strange  that  they  step  into  prominence.  In  every 
period  the  inclusion  of  such  forces  in  the  totality  of  American  musical  life  is  all 
to  the  good,  even  though  they  add  to  the  complexity  of  its  cosmopolitan  character. 

Since  before  1850  American  students  have  tended  to  seek  much  of  their  pro- 
fessional training  in  Europe.  Thus  the  American  response  to  the  opening  of  the 
Leipzig  Conservatory  was  notably  hearty,  as  later  to  the  beckoning  of  other  Ger- 
man schools.  Still  later  Paris,  London,  Vienna  and  certain  Italian  cities  were 
also  sought.  Thus  grew  up  a  tradition  of  the  necessity  of  foreign  study  if  one  were 
to  be  a  master.  The  force  of  this  has  now  been  much  diminished,  owing  to  the 
obvious  excellence  of  educational  advantages  at  home.  At  least,  it  no  longer 
works  hardship.  But  while  it  lasted,  like  the  other  tradition  about  the  superiority 
of  foreign-born  artists,  it  played  its  part  in  keeping  the  standards  and  trend  of 
music  in  America  singularly  cosmopolitan  —  not  strictly  indigenous,  but  com- 
piled from  many  sources. 

Here  comes  in  a  question  that  has  been  more  urgent  since  1900  than  before  — 
the  question  as  to  an  American  'type'  or  'school'  of  composition.  The  question 
is  by  no  means  new,  but  its  serious  discussion  is  comparatively  recent.  The 
claim  has  been  pressed  that  here,  as  in  many  other  countries,  a  '  national '  type 
should  rest  upon  something  in  the  nature  of  folk-music.  Among  several  possible 
illustrations  of  such  music  two  have  been  specially  considered. 

On  the  one  hand,  the  songs  of  the  Negroes  of  the  South  have  been  empha- 
sized. Thoughtful  attention  to  these  began  at  the  time  of  the  Civil  War  and  es- 
pecially about  1870,  when  the  original  'Jubilee  Singers'  were  heard  at  home  and 
abroad.  Of  course,  the  picturesque  sentiment  in  such  melodies  had  been  felt 
long  before  and  artistically  used,  as,  for  example,  by  Foster  as  early  as  1845. 
But  in  1885  Negro  themes  were  put  to  orchestral  use  by  Chadwick  and  in  1894 
more  ostentatiously  by  Dvorak.  Since  then  the  latent  richness  of  this  vein  of 
melodic  and  rhythmic  ore  has  been  diligently  searched  out  by  many  composers, 
with  results  most  interesting  and  often  impressive. 


THE  OPENING  OF  THE  TWENTIETH  CENTURY  83 

On  the  other  hand,  the  songs  of  the  Indians  of  the  West  have  also  been  em- 
phasized. Attention  to  these  was  first  called  by  the  original  study  of  Theodore 
Baker  in  1882  —  a  study  which  in  part  inspired  the  drafting  of  MacDowell's 
*  Indian  Suite'  some  ten  years  later.  Since  1901  the  value  of  this  source  has  been 
valiantly  upheld  by  a  circle  of  enthusiasts  led  by  Arthur  Farwell.  The  result  is 
that  this  vein,  too,  has  been  worked  with  great  ability  and  increasing  tangible  re- 
sults. It  has  the  obvious  advantage  of  bringing  into  view  not  only  tonal  patterns, 
but  the  literary  or  dramatic  quality  inherent  in  Indian  fantasy  and  legend. 

Highly  characteristic  and  fascinating  as  both  of  these  sources  undoubtedly  are, 
neither  of  them  is  fully  expressive  of  America  as  a  whole,  of  its  cosmopolitan  deri- 
vation, its  kaleidoscopic  history,  or  its  essentially  unique  national  spirit.  Hence 
there  has  been  more  and  more  an  instinctive  search  for  musical  means  to  embody 
impressions  from  the  physical  environment  of  American  life,  from  the  reaction 
upon  the  imagination  of  its  historic  epochs,  from  reflections  over  the  motives  and 
traits  of  its  characteristic  spiritual  nature.  It  is  not  unlikely  that  this  last  holds 
special  promise  for  the  future. 

The  notes  in  earlier  parts  of  this  Introduction  about  the  growth  of  cities 
should  now  be  extended  to  the  time  after  1900.  Final  data  from  the  census 
of  1920  are  not  yet  available,  but  the  salient  facts  are  clear  from  the  pre- 
liminary reports  that  have  been  made.  In  1900  there  were  in  the  United 
States  36  cities  with  100,000  inhabitants  or  more;  in  1910  there  were  50 
such ;  and  in  1920  there  were  about  70,  with  a  total  estimated  population  of 
about  30  millions.  It  will  be  useful  to  name  about  fifty  of  them,  arranged 
by  sections  and  with  their  estimated  size  in  1920  stated  in  round  thousands :

84  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

It  is  not  practicable  to  go  into  detail  as  to  the  ways  in  which  most  of 
these  cities  are  serving  as  musical  centers.  Perhaps  half  of  them  have  more 
or  less  permanent  orchestras  and  at  least  three-quarters  of  them  somewhat 
competent  choral  societies.  Though  but  a  few  as  yet  have  operatic  perform- 
ances, a  large  majority  enjoy  regular  concert-seasons  of  some  significance. 
Nearly  all  boast  one  or  more  strong  music-schools,  and  all  doubtless  con- 
tain some  or  many  superior  teachers.  Comparatively  few  of  them  fail  to 
provide  in  their  public  libraries  for  the  demands  of  those  who  would  cultivate 
themselves  in  musical  knowledge  through  books. 

The  opening  of  the  20th  century  brought  a  striking  quickening  of  effort  in  the 
presentation  of  opera.  The  Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  New  York  remained 
the  conspicuous  center,  with  the  Auditorium  in  Chicago  a  good  second.  From 
1900  several  efforts  were  made  to  establish  opera  in  English  through  traveling 
troupes  —  the  chief  being  those  of  Savage  and  of  the  Aborns  —  efforts  that 
have  since  been  continued  at  intervals  and  in  different  forms,  though  constantly 
tending  to  veer  off  into  the  more  lucrative  field  of  light  opera.  Much  more  im- 
portant was  the  spectacular  undertaking  of  Hammerstein  in  1906  at  his  Man- 
hattan Opera  House  in  New  York  (with  branch-efforts  in  Philadelphia,  leading 
to  his  Philadelphia  Opera  House  in  1908)  to  dispute  the  leadership  of  the  Metro- 
politan. This  competition  led  in  1908  to  the  transfer  of  the  Metropolitan  to  the 
capable  hands  of  Gatti-Casazza,  its  present  manager,  to  the  erection  of  the 
Boston  Opera  House  in  1909  and  a  determined  effort  to  link  New  York  and  Boston 
operatically,  and  in  1910  to  the  restriction  of  the  Hammerstein  interest  by  the 
Metropolitan.  This  last  step  was  immediately  followed  by  the  formation  of  the 
strong  and  enterprising  Chicago  Opera  Association,  which  has  ever  since  been 
foremost  as  a  friendly  competitor  with  the  Metropolitan.  In  1913-15  an  energetic 
effort  was  made  in  New  York  to  set  up  a  fresh  center  at  the  Century  Opera  House. 

The  number  of  permanent  orchestras  was  rapidly  increased.  The  dates  in 
some  cases  are  not  easy  to  fix  precisely,  since  tentative  experiments  often  preceded 
positive  establishment,  but  it  may  be  noted  that  Archer  and  Herbert  began  as 
conductors  at  Pittsburgh  even  before  1900,  that  Scheel  was  at  Philadelphia  from 
1900,  Oberhoffer  at  Minneapolis  from  1903,  Altschuler  and  his  Russian  Symphony 
Orchestra  at  New  York  from  1904,  Zach  at  St.  Louis  from  1907,  Rothwell  at  St. 
Paul  from  1908,  Stokowski  at  Cincinnati  in  1909  (reorganization),  Hadley  at 
Seattle  in  1909  and  at  San  Francisco  in  1911,  Busch  at  Kansas  City  from  1910, 
Gales  at  Detroit  in  1914,  Gunn  and  the  American  Orchestra  at  Chicago  from  1915, 
Strube  at  Baltimore  from  1916,  etc.  These  are  but  varied  samples  of  a  movement 
that  now  reaches  more  or  less  over  the  whole  country.  In  1911  the  cause  of 
orchestral  music  was  furthered  by  a  princely  bequest  to  the  Philharmonic  Society 
of  New  York,  in  1914  by  an  analogous  gift  to  the  New  York  Symphony  Society 
and  in  1915  by  another  to  the  Cincinnati  Symphony  Orchestra  —  these  endow- 
ments following  the  example  already  set  in  Boston  and  Chicago.  The  larger 
orchestras  now  usually  make  extended  tours  each  season,  so  that  their  influence 
is  spread  over  a  wide  area.  Most  of  them  also  engage,  in  whole  or  in  part,  in  a 
multiplicity  of  'festival'  undertakings. 


THE   OPENING   OF  THE  TWENTIETH  CENTURY  85 

The  cultivation  of  chamber-music  has  grown  apace  since  the  Kneisel  Quartet 
led  the  way  in  1886.  Among  its  early  successors  was  the  Spiering  Quartet  of  Chi- 
cago (1893-1905).  In  1900  was  organized  the  Longy  Club  of  Boston  (wind-in- 
struments), to  which  was  added  in  1910  the  parallel  Barrere  Ensemble  of  New 
York.  In  1903  it  was  an  American  banker  who  joined  the  list  of  great  patrons 
by  founding  the  Flonzaley  Quartet,  which  forthwith  became  internationally  signifi- 
cant. Among  many  other  organizations  of  the  period  may  be  named  the  Olive 
Mead  Quartet  and  the  Margulies  Trio,  both  launched  in  New  York  in  1904. 
Among  recent  additions  are  the  Philharmonic  Ensemble  of  New  York  (1913),  the 
Kortschak  Quartet  of  Chicago  (1915,  transformed  in  1916  into  the  Berkshire),  the 
Letz  Quartet  of  New  York  (1917),  etc. 

In  the  choral  field  there  has  been  a  steady,  though  not  rapid,  multiplication  of 
societies.  Perhaps  the  most  striking  are  those  devoted  to  the  production  of  com- 
paratively unusual  works.  The  Musical  Art  Society  of  New  York,  which  was 
founded  as  early  as  1893,  initiated  an  interest  in  historical  programs,  especially 
in  a  cappella  form,  that  has  spread  to  several  other  cities.  Somewhat  akin  is  the 
Schola  Cantorum  of  New  York,  which  followed  in  1908.  Two  Canadian  societies, 
the  Mendelssohn  Choir  of  Toronto  (from  1894)  and  the  Elgar  Choir  of  Hamilton 
(from  1904),  have  acquired  much  more  than  a  local  reputation  through  tours  in 
the  United  States.  German,  Scandinavian,  Welsh  and  other  national  choruses 
have  aroused  enthusiasm  in  various  parts  of  the  country.  To  the  list  of  annual 
festivals  there  are  two  striking  additions,  though  very  dissimilar  in  character, 
namely,  that  of  the  Bach  Choir  at  Bethlehem,  Pa.  (since  1898)  and  that  of  the 
Litchfield  County  Choral  Union  at  Norfolk,  Conn,  (since  1902).  The  Worcester 
(Mass.)  festivals  have  maintained  their  position  of  importance.  Among  others 
those  at  Ann  Arbor,  Mich.,  and  Evanston,  111.,  may  be  named  as  representative  of 
many  that  are  associated  with  large  educational  institutions.  Those  at  Peterboro, 
N.  H.,  and  at  Lockport,  N.  Y.,  may  be  cited  as  specimens  of  still  other  classes. 

After  1900,  even  more  than  during  the  decade  before,  the  influx  of  visiting 
artists  of  every  kind  from  abroad  was  notable  for  amount  and  quality.  After  1910, 
and  especially  as  the  cloud  of  impending  war  arose,  this  influx  increased,  bringing 
many  who  probably  will  remain  permanently.  In  a  single  year  the  number  of 
immigrants  who  are  classed  as  'musicians'  has  risen  as  high  as  350.  Thus  the 
factor  of  internationality  in  American  music  is  at  present  on  the  increase. 

No  proper  summary  can  here  be  made  of  the  advance  of  technical  music- 
education.  The  recent  period  has  seen  the  steady  strengthening  of  the  older 
institutions  and  the  addition  of  many  new  ones.  Many  of  those  that  are  com- 
paratively unpretentious  serve  a  useful  purpose  for  their  own  circle  and  region. 
Some  command  a  clientage  from  the  whole  country  —  and  even  from  foreign 
countries.  The  Institute  of  Musical  Art  in  New  York,  founded  in  1905,  is  perhaps 
unique  in  the  size  of  its  initial  endowment  and  its  policy  of  administration.  In 
most  of  the  leading  conservatories  great  changes  of  scope  and  method  have  taken 
place.  Almost  all  of  them  now  provide  extensively  for  the  pursuit  of  dramatic 
music,  for  experience  in  ensemble-playing,  for  discipline  in  applied  pedagogy, 


86  HISTORICAL  INTRODUCTION 

and  for  other  branches  not  easily  accessible  in  private  instruction.     All  maintain 
ample  demonstrative  courses  of  concerts  and  recitals. 

To  this  recent  period  belongs  the  advance  of  the  music-departments  in  colleges 
and  universities  into  marked  importance.  The  origin  of  many  of  them  was  far 
back  in  an  earlier  time,  but  their  development  on  broad  lines  has  mostly  come  since 
1900.  The 'state  universities  as  a  class,  with  the  colleges  for  women,  have  be- 
come notable  for  their  attention  to  music  as  an  element  in  or  adjunct  to  general 
education.  They,  like  the  music-schools  generally,  have  also  magnified  the  pur- 
suit of  music  as  an  occupational  preparation.  In  the  public  schools  music- 
instruction  has  not  only  become  much  more  customary  in  cities  and  larger  towns, 
but  has  been  greatly  improved  in  quality,  scope  and  status.  Its  administration 
by  highly  trained  supervisors  has  made  it  more  professional  in  character.  In 
many  cases  school-choruses  and  school-orchestras  have  reached  a  remarkable 
pitch  of  artistic  excellence.  Urgent  efforts  are  being  put  forth  to  link  up  private 
musical  study  by  pupils  with  their  school  program  and  standing  by  means  of  some 
system  of  credits.  The  importance  of  all  this  is  shown  by  the  attention  to  it  given 
by  bodies  like  the  National  Education  Association  and  a  governmental  depart- 
ment like  the  Bureau  of  Education. 

Musical  periodicals  have  not  so  much  increased  in  number  as  gained  in  dignity, 
circulation  and  influence.  A  capital  event  in  this  field  was  the  founding  in  1915 
of '  The  Musical  Quarterly/  which  is  plainly  on  a  much  higher  level  than  anything 
previously  attempted  in  America. 

In  the  field  of  church-music  the  most  influential  organization  is  the  American 
Guild  of  Organists,  founded  in  1896,  which  works  through  a  system  of  examina- 
tions to  measure  and  attest  the  ability  of  players,  and  by  means  of  local  chapters 
and  frequent  services  aims  to  develop  and  guide  enthusiasm.  There  is  also  an 
energetic  National  Association  of  Organists,  founded  in  1908. 

A  singular  feature  of  the  period  is  the  prodigious  expansion  of  mechanical  ap- 
pliances for  reproducing  music.  Experiments  in  this  direction  were  originally 
made  in  Europe  and  somewhat  in  America  long  before  1900,  but  the  exploitation 
of  such  appliances  on  a  large  scale  is  mostly  confined  to  the  last  twenty-five  years. 
It  is  in  America  that  they  have  been  best  perfected  and  most  extensively  adopted. 
Their  popularity  has  aroused  much  discussion.  On  one  hand  it  is  naturally  said 
that  they  do  not  usually  represent  musical  effects  accurately  or  adequately,  es- 
pecially in  correct  intonation,  delicacy  of  nuance  and  the  subtle  ptersonal  magnetism 
of  the  living  performer.  Yet,  on  the  other  hand,  it  is  evident  that  for  many  users, 
especially  those  of  limited  opportunity  or  of  uncritical  habit  of  listening,  they 
supply  a  real  means  of  entrance  into  the  world  of  musical  literature.  They  have 
proved  of  value  as  adjuncts  to  technical  music-teaching  in  some  forms  and  stages. 
The  balance  between  their  good  and  bad  possibilities  must  be  struck  according 
to  circumstances.  It  is  true  that  the  eagerness  for  large  sales  has  led  many  manu- 
facturers of  records,  like  some  publishers  of  printed  music,  to  flood  the  market 
with  inferior  and  even  obnoxious  material  and  to  stimulate  its  purchase.  Yet 
remarkably  fine  records  of  important  works,  vocal  and  instrumental,  have  been 


THE  OPENING  OF  THE  TWENTIETH  CENTURY  87 

prepared  and  their  number  increases.  For  those  who  are  minded  to  use  mechani- 
cal means  with  discretion  and  educational  design  an  extensive  repertory  is  avail- 
able and  for  its  actual  presentation  all  kinds  of  reproducers  are  now  obtainable  in 
remarkable  perfection.  This  commercial  evolution,  then,  with  its  hold  upon 
popular  attention,  must  be  counted  as  an  important  factor  in  the  present  situation. 

Slightly  related  to  this  is  the  extraordinary  development  of  music  as  an  adjunct 
to  moving-picture  theaters.  In  the  larger  of  these  organs  of  both  power  and 
delicacy  are  now  common,  and  the  use  of  them  is  becoming  a  specialty  among  or- 
gan-players. In  a  few  cases  there  is  also  an  orchestra  of  superior  quality.  It 
is  not  yet  clear  how  great  an  influence  this  rather  sudden  development  is  to  have, 
or  along  what  lines. 

It  is  mostly  since  1900  that  the  American-born  composer,  along  with  the 
American-born  concert-performer,  may  be  said  to  have  begun  to  come  into  his 
heritage.  In  recent  years  works  by  both  the  older  and  the  younger  groups  of 
composers  have  begun  to  be  given  as  never  before  by  orchestras,  choral  societies, 
chamber-ensembles,  vocal  and  instrumental  soloists,  and  even  the  great  opera- 
companies.  Recitalists  and  teachers  are  giving  far  more  attention  to  American 
works,  and  several  publishers  are  specializing  in  them.  Thus  at  length  the  musical 
public  is  becoming  aware  of  much  that  lies  ready  at  its  hand.  In  all  this  progress 
the  adopted  American,  also,  is  receiving  his  share  of  recognition.  Almost  the 
only  direct  result  of  the  World  War  as  regards  musical  matters  has  been  the 
access  of  emphasis  upon  that  which  represents  America  and  American  sentiment. 
At  the  same  time,  however,  it  must  be  confessed  that  the  social  conditions  issuing 
from  the  war  period  are  so  complicated  that  it  is  harder  than  ever  to  say  precisely 
what  is  distinctively  'American.1  With  every  succeeding  decade  compact  gen- 
eralizations as  to  the  national  qualities,  tendencies  and  destinies  become  more 
difficult  and  hazardous. 

Among  the  younger  composers  a  few  names  begin  to  stand  out  in  succession  to 
those  named  at  an  earlier  point,  names  like  D.  G.  Mason,  Carpenter,  Schelling, 
Campbell-Tipton,  D.  S.  Smith,  Fairchild,  Cadman,  Powell,  Clapp  and  Sowerby. 
But  whether  or  not  these  are  typical  is  a  question  for  time  and  critical  judgment  to 
answer.  The  purpose  of  this  Introduction  is  not  to  describe  the  history  of  Ameri- 
can composition  or  appraise  the  works  or  style  of  even  its  chief  representatives, 
but  simply  to  indicate  the  conditions  surrounding  that  evolution  and  some  of  the 
social  connections  of  musical  effort.  Almost  every  page  of  this  volume  offers  data 
as  to  the  variety  and  abundance  of  production,  especially  during  the  last  half- 
century.  The  critical  sifting  of  these  data  it  is  perhaps  not  yet  time  to  attempt. 

There  seems  not  to  be  any  book  that  devotes  itself  to  the  topics  that  have 
been  here  emphasized  —  the  material  and  social  setting  or  environment  of 
musical  and  other  artistic  progress.  Yet  in  the  larger  histories  and  in  many 
similar  discussions  passages  or  chapters  might  perhaps  be  cited  to  some  ad- 
vantage. Instead  of  attempting  this,  however,  the  following  brief  list  of 
compact  manuals  of  the  history  as  a  whole  may  be  set  down :  Epochs  of 
American  History,  3  vols. ;  Farrand,  The  Development  of  the  United  States, 
1918;  Elson,  Sidelights  on  American  History,  2  vols.,  1899-1900;  Sparks,  The 
Men  who  Made  the  Nation,  1900;  Muzzey,  American  History,  1911.

The  several  sections  of  the  RBQISTBB  refer  to  about  1700  persons,  of  whom  over  900  are  native- 
born  and  nearly  800  are  foreign-born.  It  is  interesting  to  observe  how  the  derivation  of  these 
classes  changes  from  period  to  period. 

For  convenience,  those  native-born  may  be  grouped  in  six  regions,  namely,  a.  New  England ; 
6.  Middle  States ;  c.  Southern  States  (Va.  to  Tex.)  ;  d.  Central  States  (Ohio  to  Kan.) ;  e.  West- 
ern States ;  /.  Canada,  West  Indies,  Mexico  and  South  America.  Still  more  roughly,  those 
foreign-born  may  be  grouped  in  four  classes,  namely,  o.  Great  Britain,  Holland  and  Scandinavia ; 
6.  Germany,  Bohemia  and  Austria ;  c.  Latin  Countries  (including  Belgium  and  Switzerland) ; 
d.  Slavic  and  Other  Countries.

If  existing  dictionaries  be  collated,  it  will  be  found  that  the  trend  of  percentages  does  not  vary 
much  from  the  above,  although  the  total  number  of  names  included  is  much  larger  —  about 
2700  native-born  and  about  1000  foreign-born.

ABBEY,  HENRY  EUGENE  (1846-1896). 
See  Register,  7. 

ABBOTT,  EMMA  (Dec.  9,  1850,  Chicago  : 
Jan.  5,  1891,  Salt  Lake  City),  attained  success 
as  a  stage-soprano  by  hard  work  and  perti- 
nacity. During  her  youth  in  Peoria,  111.,  she 
had  few  advantages,  and  her  voice  was  neither 
large  nor  sympathetic.  In  1870,  however, 
aided  by  Miss  Kellogg,  she  became  a  leading 
church-singer  in  New  York  and  had  lessons 
from  Errani.  Her  advance  was  so  marked 
that  in  1872  friends  enabled  her  to  study  at 
Milan  under  Sangiovanni  and  then  at  Paris 
under  Mme.  Marchesi,  Wartel  and  Delle 
Sedie.  Her  operatic  debut  at  Covent  Garden 
in  1876  and  in  New  York  in  1877  in  'La  Fille 
du  Regiment'  was  followed  by  a  tour  in  Great 
Britain  under  Mapleson's  direction.  From 
1878  she  pursued  an  active  career  in  America, 
mostly  as  the  head  of  her  own  operatic  troupe, 
which  was  managed  by  Eugene  Wetherell 
of  New  York,  whom  she  married  in  1878.  She 
appeared  in  standard  Italian  works  and  English 
operettas,  but  in  Chicago  she  is  credited  with 
bringing  out  such  works  as  Gounod's  '  Mireille ' 
and  Masse's  '  Paul  et  Virginie. '  For  a  time  she 
almost  rivaled  Miss  Kellogg  in  popularity,  and 
she  and  her  husband  (who  died  in  1888)  be- 
came wealthy.  [  R.6  ]

ACADEMY  OF  MUSIC,  THE,  of  Boston, 
was  an  association,  formed  in  1833  under  the 
lead  of  Lowell  Mason,  which  established  a 
music-school,  promoted  the  recognition  of 
music  in  the  public  schools  and  the  holding  of 
'conventions'  in  many  places,  organized  a 
chorus  and  an  orchestra,  and  arranged  public 
lectures  on  musical  topics.  After  1847  its 
functions  were  taken  over  by  other  agencies. 
In  1838  the  Academy  chorus  of  about  200 
gave  Romberg's  '  Song  of  the  Bell,'  Neu- 
komm's  '  David '  and  Zeuner's  '  Feast  of  Taber- 
nacles,' the  latter  perhaps  the  first  American 
oratorio.  In  1840-41  Beethoven's  1st  and  5th 
Symphonies  were  played  by  the  orchestra.

portant in  1897.

and  piano  with  Pabst.  Meanwhile  he  also 
entered  the  University  and  graduated.  In 
1883  he  began  concert-tours  in  Poland  and 
Germany,  and  in  1885-87  was  professor  of 
'cello  and  ensemble-playing  at  the  Conserva- 
tory of  Cracow.  Coming  to  America  in  1889, 
he  played  in  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra 
till  1907,  and  also  in  the  Adamowski  Quartet 
and  Adamowski  Trio.  He  has  been  pro- 
fessor in  the  New  England  Conservatory  since 
1903.  He  is  one  of  the  founders  and  directors 
of  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  pension- 
fund.  In  1896  he  married  the  pianist  Antoi- 
nette Szumowska.  [  R.7  ] 

ADAMOWSKI,  TIMOTHEE  (Mar.  24, 
1858,  Warsaw,  Poland),  having  studied  at  the 
Warsaw  Conservatory  with  Kontski  and 
Roguski  and  in  Paris  with  Massart,  came  to 
the  United  States  in  1879  as  a  violin- virtuoso. 
He  toured  with  Clara  Louise  Kellogg,  Emma 
Thursby  and  Max  Strakosch,  and  finally  with 
a  company  of  his  own.  In  1884-1908  he  was 
a  member  of  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra, 
resigning  to  become  teacher  of  the  advanced 
violin-classes  at  the  New  England  Conserva- 
tory. In  1890-94  he  conducted  popular  con- 
certs in  the  summer.  As  soloist  he  has 
appeared  in  Paris  with  the  Colonne  Orchestra, 
in  London  with  the  Philharmonic  Society 
under  Nikisch,  and  in  Warsaw  with  the  opera 
orchestra.  He  has  composed,  for  violin  and 
piano,  'Novelette,'  'Air  de  Ballet,'  'Bar- 
carolle,' 'Mouvement  de  Valse'  and  'Ber- 
ceuse.' [  R.6  ]

formed  at  Boston  in  1888  with  Timothee 
Adamowski  as  leader,  E.  Fiedler  as  second, 
D.  Kuntz  as  violist  and  Giuseppe  Campanari 
as  'cellist.  In  1890  it  was  reconstituted  with

ADAMOWSKI  TRIO,  THE,  was  formed 
at  Boston  in  1896  with  Mme.  Adamowska  as 
pianist,  Timothee  and  Joseph  Adamowski  as 
violinist  and  'cellist. 

ADAMS,  CHARLES  R.  (1834,  Charlestown, 
Mass.  :  July  3,  1900,  West  Harwich,  Mass.), 
had  for  early  teachers  Edwin  Bruce  and  Mme. 
Arnault.  In  1856  he  was  the  tenor  in  'The 
Creation'  with  the  Handel  and  Haydn  Society, 
and  for  the  next  five  years  sang  in  concert  and 
oratorio.  In  1861,  with  his  teacher  Mulder 
and  Mme.  Febbri-Mulder,  he  appeared  in 
concert  and  opera  in  the  West  Indies  and  in 
Holland.  Called  to  Vienna,  he  learned  his 
part  in  'La  Sonnambula'  in  three  days,  with 
successful  result.  After  a  tour  in  Russia  he 
was  engaged  for  three  years  at  Budapest, 
but  cut  this  short  to  accept  a  similar  offer 
from  the  Royal  Opera  in  Berlin.  With  an 
interim  of  one  year,  he  was  principal  tenor 
at  the  Imperial  Opera  at  Vienna  in  1867-76. 
He  sang  also  at  Madrid,  London,  and  Milan. 
Early  in  1877  he  returned  to  America,  and 
sang  in  German  opera  in  1877-78,  including 
the  first  American  performances  of  'Rienzi.' 
From  1879  he  lived  in  Boston,  where  he  was 
extremely  successful  as  a  teacher.  His  most 
effective  roles  were  Lohengrin,  Tannhauser, 
Raoul,  Masaniello,  Rienzi,  Manrico,  Vasco  da 
Gama  and  Don  Jose.  J.  S.  Dwight  in  1877 
said  that  'his  was  the  robust  kind  of  tenor, 
of  large  compass,  evenly  developed,  under 
complete  control  and  intrinsically  very  sweet 
in  quality.  He  sang  superbly,  in  a  large, 
frank,  masterly,  dramatic  style,  each  tone 
fraught  with  meaning  and  intention.'  [  R.4  ]

ADGATE,  ANDREW  (d.  1793,  Phila-' 
delphia),  in  1784  founded  in  Philadelphia 
an  Institution  for  the  Encouragement  of 
Church  Music,  and  the  next  year  established  a 
Free  School  for  Spreading  the  Knowledge  of 
Vocal  Music,  which  developed  in  1787  into  the 
Uranian  Academy.  Among  the  managers 
of  the  latter  were  many  prominent  citizens, 
like  Hopkinson  and  Dr.  Rush.  From  before 
1785  Adgate  promoted  choral  concerts  at 
intervals,  with  programs  including  not  only 
music  by  Billings,  Lyon,  Tuckey  and  others, 
but  also  the  'Hallelujah'  from  'The  Messiah.' 
On  May  4,  1786,  he  gave  a  concert  at  the  Re- 
formed German  Church  with  a  chorus  of  230 
and  an  orchestra  of  50.  His  programs  and 
plans  (often  excellent)  are  detailed  in  Sonneck, 
Early  Concert-Life  in  America,  pp.  103-20. 
He  died  in  the  epidemic  of  yellow  fever  in 
1793,  but  the  Uranian  Academy  seems  to  have 
continued  till  after  1800.  For  his  publica-

^OLIAN  CHOIR,  THE,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y., 
is  a  select  chorus  of  forty-five  voices  organized 
in  1912  by  N.  Lindsay  Norden  for  the  culti- 
vation and  promotion  of  Russian  a  cappella 
church-music.  He  prepared  for  it  English 
adaptations  of  over  ninety  Russian  composi- 
tions that  were  previously  inaccessible,  includ- 
ing many  that  are  extended  and  elaborate, 
sometimes  in  eight-part  and  even  ten-part 
form.  The  publication  of  these  works,  illus- 
trated by  the  recitals  which  the  Choir  gave 
in  or  about  New  York,  aroused  a  widespread 
interest  in  the  Russian  style.  See  articles  by 
Norden  in  the  M.  T.  N.  A.  Proceedings,  1915, 
and  'The  Musical  Quarterly,'  April,  1918.

'AMERICA'  is  the  title  usually  applied 
either  to  the  patriotic  hymn  beginning  'My 
country,  'tis  of  thee'  or  to  the  tune  associated 
with  it.  The  hymn  is  by  Rev.  Samuel  Francis 
Smith,  D.  D.  (1808-1895),  a  distinguished 
Baptist  clergyman,  professor,  editor  and 
hymnist.  The  tune  is  the  same  as  that  of  the 
English  'God  save  the  King,'  which  has  also 
been  adopted  into  German  and  Danish  use. 
Dr.  Smith  wrote  the  verses  early  in  1832, 
while  still  a  theological  student  at  Andover 
Seminary,  to  fit  the  music  as  found  in  a  German 
song-book  referred  to  him  by  Lowell  Mason. 
They  were  probably  first  sung  publicly  under 
Mason's  direction  at  a  children's  celebration 
at  Park  Street  Church  in  Boston  on  July  4, 
1832,  and  they  soon  became  popular  and  were 
included  in  standard  hymn-books  from  Smith 
and  Stow's  Psalmist  (1843)  onwards.  See 
Bun-age,  Baptist  Hymn-Writers,  pp.  329-34, 
Julian,  Diet,  of  Hymnology,  under  'Smith' 
and  'God  save  the  King,'  and  many  other 
books  on  hymnody,  and  also  Vol.  ii.  188-91,

AMERICAN  COLLEGE  OF  MUSICIANS, 
THE,  was  organized  in  1884  by  Edward  M. 
I 


Bowman  under  the  general  auspices  of  the 
Music  Teachers'  National  Association.  It 
was  modeled  upon  the  College  of  Organists  in 
England,  and  was  intended  to  be  exclusively 
an  agency  for  examination  and  certification 
as  to  professional  proficiency.  The  branches 
included  were  piano,  organ,  voice,  violin, 
theory  and,  later,  public-school  teaching,  and 
grades  of  attainment  were  marked  by  grant- 
ing the  use  of  the  terms  'associate,'  'fellow'  or 
'master.'  About  1895  the  Board  of  Regents 
of  the  State  of  New  York  empowered  the 
College  to  grant  the  degrees  of  Mus.B.  and 
Mus.D.  The  organization  began  with  about 
140  charter-members,  including  a  fine  repre- 
sentation of  foremost  musicians.  The  presi- 
dent from  1884  was  Mr.  Bowman,  who  was 
succeeded  in  1893  by  A.  R.  Parsons.  For 
ten  years  or  more  the  system  of  examinations 
was  maintained  upon  a  high  plane,  and  the 
total  number  of  candidates  was  about  235,  of 
whom  about  half  were  approved,  mostly  as 
'associates.'  But  after  1895,  apparently  for 
mechanical  and  financial  reasons,  the  organ- 
ization became  inoperative.  In  1910  Mr. 
Bowman  urged  the  revival  of  its  work,  but 
without  practical  result.  See  Mathews,  Hun- 
dred Years  of  Music,  pp.  539-41,  and  a  paper 
by  Bowman  in  M .  T.  N.  A.  Proceedings,  1912, 
pp.  145-56. 

AMERICAN  CONSERVATORY  OF  MU- 
SIC, THE,  of  Chicago,  was  organized  in 
1886  and  incorporated  in  1887.  The  founder 
was  John  J.  Hattstaedt,  who  has  remained  its 
director  since  1894,  assisted  by  Karleton 
Hackett  and  Adolf  Weidig.  Its  aim  is  'to 
offer  the  best  instruction  in  all  branches  of 
music  and  dramatic  art  by  teachers  of  broad 
education  thoroughly  in  sympathy  with  Amer- 
ican life  and  its  needs.'  The  number  of 
teachers  is  about  100,  and  the  number  of

AMERICAN  INSTITUTE  OF  APPLIED 
MUSIC,  THE,  in  New  York,  was  incorpo- 
rated in  1900  to  continue  the  work  of  the 
Metropolitan  College  of  Music  and  other 
schools.  Kate  S.  Chittenden,  founder  of  the 
Synthetic  Piano  School  in  1887  and  on  the  staff 
of  the  College  from  1892,  has  been  the  efficient 
dean  from  the  first.  In  its  regular  curriculum 
the  Institute  aims  at  systematic  thoroughness, 
with  much  emphasis  upon  pedagogical  method, 
largely  with  reference  to  those  expecting  to 
teach.  The  enrolment  averages  about  350  per 
year.  More  than  1000  teachers  have  received 
certificates.  The  Institute  is  located  at  212 
West  59th  Street. 

AMERICAN  OPERA  COMPANY,  THE, 
was  an  enterprise  organized  in  1885  under  the 
lead  of  Mrs.  Jeannette  Thurber  of  New  York 
for  the  giving  of  opera  in  English  with  extreme 
artistic  perfection  and,  so  far  as  practicable, 
with  American  artists,  not  only  in  New  York, 
but  in  several  other  cities.  Theodore  Thomas 
was  secured  as  musical  director,  and  no  pains 
were  spared  in  recruiting  the  orchestra,  the 
staff  of  soloists  and  the  chorus.  The  Academy 
of  Music  was  tastefully  renovated  for  the 
New  York  season,  which  opened  on  Jan.  4, 
1886,  and  ran  to  sixty-six  performances,  with 
a  later  tour  to  Boston,  Philadelphia,  Baltimore, 
Washington,  Chicago,  etc.  The  repertoire 
included  'Orpheus,'  'The  Magic  Flute,' 
'Martha,'  'The  Merry  Wives,'  'The  Flying 
Dutchman,' '  Lohengrin,'  Masse's  'The  Mar- 
riage of  Jeannette,'  '  The  Taming  of  the  Shrew' 
and  'LakmeV  The  venture  proved  over- 
ambitious  and  its  financial  foundation  in- 
sufficient, and  in  1887  it  was  abandoned  and 
was  succeeded  by  a  new  organization,  called 
the  National  Opera  Company.  See  Mrs. 
Thomas,  Memoirs  of  Theodore  Thomas,  pp. 
279-96,  and  Krehbiel,  Chapters  of  Opera,  pp.

AMERICAN  ORGAN.  The  English  name 
for  the  type  of  reed-organ  developed  in  the 
United  States  from  about  1850-60.  See  Vol.  i. 
77-8,  and  pamphlet  by  Henry  L.  Mason,  The 
History  and  Development  of  the  American

AMERICAN  PIANO  COMPANY,  THE, 
of  New  York,  was  formed  in  1908,  with  a 
capital  of  $12,000,000,  to  unite  the  interests 
of  Chickering  &  Sons,  Knabe  &  Co.,  Haines 
Brothers,  Marshall  &  Wendell  and  several 
other  firms.  It  has  not  only  carried  forward 
the  established  business  of  all  of  these,  but 
developed  with  marked  success  the  player- 
pianos  and  similar  devices  connected  with 
them.  The  name  'Ampico'  is  applied  to  the 
most  perfect  of  these  latter,  which  has  excep- 
tional facility  in  recording  and  reproducing 
tone-colors  and  nuances.  Its  inventor  was 
Charles  D.  Stoddard,  and  it  was  first  publicly 
shown  in  1916. 

'AMERICAN  SYMPHONY.'  A  name 
often  given  to  Dvorak's  Symphony  No.  5,  in 
E  minor,  'From  the  New  World,'  produced  in 
New  York  in  1893. 

AMERICAN  SYMPHONY  ORCHESTRA, 
THE,  of  Chicago,  was  founded  in  1915  by 
Glenn  Dillard  Gunn,  who  has  remained  its 
conductor.  Its  object  is  to  present  American 
compositions  exclusively.  Among  the  im- 
portant works  thus  far  brought  forward  are

Boston,  of  Guilmant,  Guiraud  and  d'Indy  in 
Paris,  of  Dura  in  Berlin,  and  of  Sgambati 
in  Rome.  In  1905-08  he  taught  theory  in 
Berlin.  In  1908  he  came  to  Chicago  and 
joined  the  faculty  of  the  American  Conserva-

ANDREWS,  GEORGE  WHITFIELD  (Jan. 
19,  1861,  Wayne,  O.),  has  been  associated  with 
Oberlin,  O.,  for  almost  his  entire  life.  He 
began  the  study  of  piano  there  at  six,  organ  at 
nine  (with  F.  B.  Rice)  and  at  twelve  made  his 
first  public  appearance,  playing  a  Bach  Prel- 
ude and  Fugue.  For  a  time  before  1879  he 
was  organist  of  the  First  Church  of  Oberlin, 
and  then  played  and  taught  two  years  at 
Meadville,  Pa.,  and  one  year  at  Toledo.  In 
1882  he  became  organist  of  the  Second  Church 
in  Oberlin,  a  position  he  still  holds.  Since 
1882,  also,  he  has  been  connected  with  the 
Musical  Union,  first  as  organist  and  since  1900 
as  conductor.  In  1886  he  began  teaching  at 
the  Conservatory,  and  since  1892  has  been 
professor  of  organ,  composition  and  orchestra 
tion.  He  graduated  from  the  Conservatory 
in  1879  in  organ,  piano,  violin  and  theory,  and 
studied  in  Leipzig  with  Papperitz  (organ) 
and  Jadassohn  (theory,  composition  and  piano) , 
in  Munich  with  Rheinberger  (organ,  composi- 
tion and  orchestration,  1885-6),  and  in  Paris 
with  Guilmant  (organ  and  composition)  and 
d'Indy  (composition  and  orchestration,  1898- 
99).  He  was  made  Mus.D.  by  Oberlin  College 
in  1903.  His  interest  has  centered  in  the 
duties  connected  with  his  work  as  teacher  and 
conductor,  and  he  has  been  highly  successful 
in  both  fields,  besides  appearing  as  organ- 
recitalist  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  including 
the  great  Expositions.  He  was  a  founder  of 
the  A.  G.  O.  and  is  now  dean  of  the  Northern 
Ohio  Chapter.  His  published  organ-composi- 
tions are  a  March  in  C  Minor  and  'Poco 
Agitato'  (Schirmer),  Serenade  No.  1  and 
'Aria*  (Ashmall),  Serenade  No.  2  and  'Con 
Grazia'  (J.  Fischer  &  Bro.),  and  Fugue  in 
A  minor  (Leduc,  Paris).  The  Church  Co. 
publishes  three  sacred  songs  for  baritone. 
Still  in  manuscript  are  a  Suite  in  C  for  orches- 
tra (played  at  Oberlin  by  the  Chicago  Sym- 
phony Orchestra),  six  organ-sonatas,  four 
suites  for  organ,  a  Theme  and  Variations, 
many  separate  pieces  for  organ,  a  piano-trio, 
'Morning'  for  piano,  a  Magnificat  for  soprano 
and  piano,  and  a  Processional  and  Recessional 
for  chorus.  [  R.6  ] 

ANDREWS,  J.  WARREN  (Apr.  6,  1860, 
Lynn,  Mass.),  was  organist  at  Swampscott, 
Mass.,  when  but  twelve.  At  sixteen  he  went 
to  the  First  Baptist  Church  of  Lynn,  Mass., 
and  also  played  at  the  Boston  Street  Methodist 


Church.  In  1879  he  was  engaged  by  Old 
Trinity  Church  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  where  he 
remained  nine  years.  Then  followed  a  three- 
year  sojourn  at  the  Pilgrim  Church  in  Cam- 
bridge and  seven  years  at  the  Plymouth  Church 
in  Minneapolis.  In  1898  he  removed  to  the 
Church  of  the  Divine  Paternity  in  New  York, 
where  he  still  remains.  He  was  a  founder  of 
the  A.  G.  O.,  its  warden  in  1913-16  and  a 
member  of  the  council  for  many  years.  He 
has  also  held  official  positions  in  the  N.  A.  O. 
In  1895  he  established  a  school  for  organists 
and  singers  in  Minneapolis,  and  has  continued 
as  teacher  in  New  York.  Many  well-known 
church-musicians  have  been  among  his  pupils. 
His  published  works  are  few,  but  he  has  organ- 
pieces,  anthems,  Te  Deums  and  Canticles  that 
may  sometime  be  published.  [  R.6  ] 

ANGER,  JOSEPH  HUMPHREY  (June  3, 
1862,  Berkshire,  England  :  June  11,  1913, 
Toronto),  had  his  first  appointment  as  organist 
at  Frenchay,  near  Bristol,  and  while  there 
(1888)  he  won  the  gold  medal  offered  by  the 
Bath  Philharmonic  Society  for  a  setting  of 
Psalm  96  for  voices  and  orchestra.  Later 
he  matriculated  at  Oxford,  proceeding  as 
Mus.B.  in  1889.  He  became  assistant-master 
of  Surrey  County  School,  Cranleigh,  and 
then  organist  at  Ludlow.  In  1893  he  was 
appointed  professor  of  harmony  and  theory 
at  the  Toronto  Conservatory,  a  position  he  re- 
tained until  his  death.  He  was  also  examiner 
in  music  at  the  University  of  Toronto,  presi- 
dent of  the  Clef  Club,  conductor  of  the  Phil- 
harmonic Society,  dean  of  the  Ontario  chapter 
of  the  A.  G.  O.,  and  organist  at  St.  Andrew's 
Presbyterian  Church  and  later  at  the  Central 
Methodist  Church.  He  received  the  degree 
of  Mus.D.  from  the  University  in  1902  in 
appreciation  of  his  services  toward  the  advance- 
ment of  musical  education  in  Canada,  particu- 
larly in  Toronto.  He  was  the  author  of  a 
text-book  on  harmony,  Form  in  Music,  and 
a  pamphlet  on  The  Modern  Enharmonic  Scale, 
1907,  which  have  had  wide  use.  His  madrigal 
'Bonnie  Belle'  won  the  London  Madrigal 
Society's  prize  in  1890.  [  R.8  ]

APOLLO  CLUB 


APTHORP 


nucleus  being  the  earlier  Chickering  Club.  It 
has  had  a  singularly  unbroken  history  along 
the  lines  originally  planned.  It  aims  to  main- 
tain a  male  chorus  of  superior  singers  for  the 
study  and  performance  of  part-songs  and 
concerted  works  for  an  audience  limited  to 
singers  and  subscribers.  The  active  members 
now  number  about  80,  and  the  associate  mem- 
bers 500.  From  1871  till  his  resignation 
in  1901  the  conductor  was  B.  J.  Lang,  who 
made  the  Club  famous.  He  was  followed  by 
Emil  Mollenhauer,  who  has  continued  the 
same  brilliant  record.  The  Club  Rooms  are  at 
3  Joy  Street.  Four  concerts  are  given  annu- 
ally, the  total  number  being  about  250,  with 
eminent  soloists,  vocal  and  instrumental,  and 
often  a  full  orchestra  as  well.  In  the  list  of 
works  with  orchestra  given  in  Boston  for  the 
first  time  have  been  Mendelssohn's  'Antigone' 
and  'CEdipus  in  Colonos,'  Killer's  'Easter 
Morning,'  Brambach's  'Columbus,'  Bruch's 
'Roman  Song  of  Triumph,'  Paine's  'CEdipus 
Tyrannus'  and  'Summons  to  Love,'  Brahms' 
'Rinaldo,'  Whiting's  'March  of  the  Monks 
of  Bangor,'  'Free  Lances'  and  'Henry  of 
Navarre,'  Foote's  'Farewell  of  Hiawatha,' 
and  Nicode's  'The  Sea'  —  several  of  these 
having  been  written  for  the  Club.  Many 
part-songs  by  American  composers  have  been 
prominent  on  the  programs.  See  Vol.  i.  369, 
and  article  in  'The  New  England  Magazine,' 
April,  1910,  by  Ethel  Syford. 

APOLLO  CLUB,  THE,  of  Brooklyn.  See 
Vol.  iii.  367. 

APOLLO  CLUB,  THE,  of  Cincinnati,  was 
organized  in  1882  and  under  the  leadership 
of  B.  W.  Foley  attained  a  position  of  marked 
importance. 

APOLLO  CLUB,  THE,  of  St.  Louis,  was 
founded  in  1893.  Its  conductor  till  1910 
was  Alfred  G.  Robyn  and  since  that  time 
Charles  Galloway.  It  is  a  male  chorus, 
limited  to  eighty  voices.  As  a  rule,  three 
concerts  are  given  annually  to  subscribers  and 
guests. 

APOLLO  MALE  CHORUS,  THE,  of  Pitts- 
burgh, was  organized  in  1904  by  Rinehart 
Mayer,  who  has  been  its  conductor  since 
then. 

APOLLO  MUSICAL  CLUB,  THE,  of 
Chicago,  was  organized  in  1872  —  the  year 
after  the  Great  Fire  —  through  the  efforts  of 
Silas  G.  Pratt  and  George  P.  Upton,  and  its 
first  concert  was  given  in  January,  1873. 
Originally  planned  as  a  male  chorus  after  the 
model  of  the  Apollo  Club  of  Boston,  in  1875  it 
was  expanded  into  a  mixed  chorus,  so  as  to 
undertake  works  of  the  largest  dimensions. 
Its  early  conductors  were  A.  W.  Dohn  (1872- 
74)  and  Karl  Bergstein  (1874-75),  but  the 
establishment  of  the  Club  as  a  highly  signifi- 
cant artistic  force  was  due  to  the  leadership  of 


William  L.  Tomlins  (1875-98)  and  since  1898 
that  of  Harrison  M.  Wild,  who  has  brought  the 
standard  of  quality,  balance  and  interpreta- 
tion to  the  highest  point.  The  chorus  now 
numbers  about  250  singers.  The  usual  num- 
ber of  concerts  annually  is  five,  and  the  total 
number  since  the  beginning  is  over  200. 

The  Club's  repertoire  includes  all  the  stand- 
ard oratorios  and  similar  large  works.  'The 
Messiah '  has  been  given  more  than  fifty  times. 
In  the  list  are  Bach's  St.  Matthew  Passion, 
Mass  in  B  minor  and  Magnificat,  Handel's 
'Judas  Maccabseus,'  Mozart's  Requiem  Mass, 
Schumann's  Missa  Sacra,  Berlioz'  Requiem 
and  Te  Deum,  Verdi's  Requiem,  Brahms' 
Requiem,  Bruch's  'Frithjof,'  Dvorak's  Stabat 
Mater,  Massenet's  'Mary  Magdalene'  and 
'Eve,'  Grieg's  'Olaf  Trygvason,'  Elgar's 
'Light  of  Life,'  'Apostles'  and  'Caractacus,' 
Pierne's  'Children's  Crusade,'  Parker's  'St. 
Christopher'  and  'Hora  Novissima,'  Georg 
Schumann's  'Ruth,'  Schmitt's  49th  Psalm, 
Wolf -Ferrari's  'New  Life,'  etc.  First  perform- 
ances in  America  include  Elgar's  'Dream  of 
Gerontius'  (1903),  Busch's  'King  Olaf  (1903), 
Woyrsch's  'Dance  of  Death'  (1911),  and

APTHORP,  WILLIAM  FOSTER  (Oct.  24, 
1848,  Boston  :  Feb.  19,  1913,  Vevey,  Switzer- 
land), was  long  the  most  influential  critic  in 
Boston.  In  1856-60  he  attended  schools  in 
Dresden,  Berlin  and  Rome.  He  graduated 
from  Harvard  in  1869.  Six  years  earlier  he 
had  begun  piano,  harmony  and  counterpoint 
with  Paine  and  piano-study  was  continued 
under  Lang.  During  his  last  year  at  Harvard 
he  was  conductor  of  the  Pierian  Sodality.  He 
taught  piano  and  harmony  at  the  National 
College  of  Music  in  Boston  in  1872-73,  and 
for  thirteen  years  was  with  the  New  England 
Conservatory,  teaching  piano  and  various 
branches  of  theory.  In  1872  Ho  wells,  then 
editor  of  'The  Atlantic  Monthly,'  engaged  him 
as  musical  editor.  In  1876  he  undertook 
musical  criticism  for  the  'Sunday  Courier' 
and  two  years  later  both  musical  and  dramatic 
criticism  for  the  'Traveller.'  In  1881  he  be- 
came music-critic  on  the  '  Evening  Transcript,' 
soon  assuming  also  the  dramatic  work.  Both 
positions  he  held  until  1903,  when  he  gave  up 
actual  work.  His  remaining  years  were  spent 
chiefly  in  Switzerland.  In  addition  to  his 
critical  writing,  which  included  many  contribu- 
tions to  magazine  and  periodical  literature, 
he  taught  aesthetics  and  musical  history  for 
some  years  in  the  College  of  Music  of  Boston 
University,  and  gave  courses  of  lectures  at  the 
Lowell  Institute  in  Boston  and  at  the  Peabody 
Institute  in  Baltimore.  From  1892  to  1901  he 
edited  the  program-books  for  the  Boston  Sym-

action  to  standardize  instruction,  to  publish 
a  joint  periodical  for  the  several  associations, 
to  advocate  music  as  a  major  subject  in  public 
schools,  with  credit  for  outside  work  in  praxis, 
to  work  for  a  National  School  of  Music,  etc.

managed  by  Sanquirico  and  Salvatore  Patti 
(father  of  the  singer),  in  1848^9  by  Edward 
R.  Fry  (brother  of  W.  H.  Fry,  the  composer), 
and  after  1848  by  Maretzek.  It  was  sup- 
ported by  a  subscription  for  five  years,  but 
competition  was  so  strong  that  in  1852  it  was 
given  up.  The  building  became  the  Mer-

AUDITORIUM 


AUTOMATIC  APPLIANCES    119 


AUDITORIUM,  THE,  in  Chicago,  is  a 
complex  building,  including  an  opera-house, 
a  hotel  and  numerous  offices.  Its  erection  was 
due  to  an  association  formed  in  1886,  of  which 
Ferdinand  W.  Peck,  a  public-spirited  man  of 
wealth,  was  president.  The  building  was 
dedicated  on  Dec.  9,  1889,  with  ceremonies 
that  included  Dubois'  'Fantaisie  Triomphale,' 
La  Tombelle's  'Fantaisie  de  Concert,'  Glea- 
son's  'Festival  Ode,'  several  oratorio  choruses 
and  songs  by  Patti.  The  opera-house  is 
one  of  the  largest  (over  4000  seats)  and  best- 
equipped  in  the  world.  From  the  first,  espe- 
cially under  the  efficient  management  of 
Milward  Adams  (till  1910),  it  has  been  fa- 
mous as  the  headquarters 'not  only  for  opera- 
seasons,  but  for  every  variety  of  superior 
concert. 

AUDITORIUM,  THE,  in  Milwaukee,  is  an 
extensive  building  for  exhibition  and  concert 
purposes,  erected  in  1909.  The  main  hall  has 
a  seating  capacity  of  10,000,  and  there  are  six 
other  halls.  The  Auditorium  Orchestra  of 
45-50  players  was  organized  in  1909  to  give 
popular  symphony  concerts  on  Sunday  after- 
noons. Until  1913  there  were  various  con- 
ductors and  the  enterprise  was  supported  by 
popular  subscription.  Since  1913  the  con- 
ductor has  been  Hermann  A.  Zeitz,  and  the 
city  has  appropriated  about  $4000  annually 
to  cover  deficits  in  receipts.  The  average 
number  of  concerts  is  sixteen  each  season. 

AUDSLEY,  GEORGE  ASHDOWN  (Sept. 
6,  1838,  Elgin,  Scotland),  was  educated  as 
an  architect  and  followed  that  profession  in 
Elgin  until  1856.  He  then  moved  to  Liver- 
pool and  became  noted  by  designing  many 
important  public  and  private  buildings.  Since 
1892  he  has  worked  in  the  United  States,  add- 
ing to  his  reputation  as  architect,  decorator 
and  author.  As  early  as  1865  he  became 
interested  in  organs  and  organ-construction, 
the  first  result  being  the  construction,  by  him- 
self, of  a  house-organ  of  his  own.  This  in- 
strument, unique  in  specification  and  arrange- 
ment, earned  the  approval  of  Saint-Saens, 
Hollins  and  others,  and  recitals  were  given 
upon  it  by  distinguished  players.  In  1886-88 
he  published  a  series  of  articles  on  organ- 
making  in  'The  English  Mechanic  and  World 
of  Science,'  and  later  gave  a  course  of  lectures, 
advocating  flexibility  and  expression  in  all 
the  divisions,  manual  or  pedal,  of  the  instru- 
ment. His  large  work  is  The  Art  of  Organ- 
Building,  2  vols.,  1905,  and  he  has  added 
The  Organ  of  the  Twentieth  Century,  1919,  a 
manual  of  '  the  science  and  art  of  tonal-appoint- 
ment and  divisional-apportionment  with  com- 
pound expression,  and  a  treatise  on  Organ 
Stops,  1920.  The  scheme  of  the  large  organ 
at  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  at  St. 
Louis,  1904,  was  made  by  him.  He  is  author 


and  joint-author  of  over  twenty  works  on 
architecture,  art  and  industry.  [  R.9  ] 

AUER,  LEOPOLD  (June  7,  1845,  Veszprem, 
Hungary) .  See  article  in  Vol.  i.  130.  In  May, 
1917,  he  went  to  Norway  for  a  vacation,  but 
could  not  return  to  Petrograd  because  of 
chaotic  political  and  social  conditions.  He 
decided  to  visit  America,  and  reached  New 
York  in  February,  1918.  After  giving  recitals 
in  New  York,  Boston,  Philadelphia  and 
Chicago,  he  located  in  New  York,  where  he  has 
since  taught  privately.  He  has  lately  revised 
and  edited  many  old  and  new  violin-works, 
composed  new  cadenzas  to  numerous  concertos 
and  made  many  transcriptions  (being  pub- 
lished by  Carl  Fischer).  Among  his  many 
successful  pupils  may  be  named  Elman,  Zim- 
balist,  Kathleen  Parlow,  Eddy  Brown,  Heifetz, 
Seidel  and  Rosen.  [  R.10  ] 

AUERBACH,  NANNETTE,  nee  Falk 
(about  1838,  Danzig,  Germany),  came  with 
her  husband  to  Baltimore  in  1867  and  on  Jan. 
18,  1868,  appeared  as  pianist  at  a  Peabody 
Concert.  Her  striking  ability  led  to  her 
engagement  as  teacher  at  the  Peabody  Con- 
servatory in  1871,  where  she  continued  until 
1881,  highly  regarded  by  her  pupils  (among 
whom  was  Harold  Randolph,  the  present 
head  of  the  Conservatory)  and  frequently 
heard  in  public.  As  indicating  the  solidity  of 
her  equipment,  it  is  said  that  she  had  at 
instant  command  not  only  all  the  Beethoven 
Sonatas,  but  the  whole  of  the  'Well-Tempered 
Clavichord,'  the  latter  in  any  key.  It  is  said 
that  she  was  still  living  in  1917.  [  R.5  ]

make  instruments  under  the  patents  of  John 
T.  Austin  and  Basil  G.  Austin.  Chief  among 
these  is  the  'Universal  Wind-Chest,'  which  is 
described  in  Vol.  iii.  553^1  (and  see  i.  291), 
but  to  this  have  been  added  many  other  novel 
and  ingenious  mechanical  devices.  The  Com- 
pany has  an  extensive  factory,  equipped  with 
the  most  modern  appliances.  They  have  made 
about  900  organs,  including  one  five-manual 
(Medinah  Temple,  Chicago)  and  over  60  four- 
manual.

AUTOPIANO  COMPANY,  THE,  of  New 
York,  began  business  in  1904  and  was  incor- 
porated in  1905  (capital,  $1,000,000).  It  was 
one  of  the  first  firms  to  devise  and  put  upon  the 
market  a  successful  player-piano  (as  distinct 
from  a  piano-player),  and  its  business  has  in- 
creased so  that  it  now  claims  to  have  the 
largest  factory  in  the  world  solely  devoted  to 
making  player-pianos.  This  building  is  on 
the  Hudson  River  between  51st  and  52d 
Streets.  The  firm  has  made  over  70,000 
instruments  and  ten  million  rolls. 

AVERY,  STANLEY  R.  (Dec.  14,  1879, 
Yonkers,  N.  Y.),  studied  organ  in  New  York 
with  Heinroth  and  Macfarlane,  composition 
and  orchestration  with  MacDowell  and  choir- 
training  with  Stubbs,  and  in  Berlin  he  con- 
tinued organ  with  Grunicke  and  composition 
with  Pfitzner.  In  1896-1910  he  was  organist 
at  St.  Andrew's  in  Yonkers,  and  has  since  been 
at  St.  Mark's  in  Minneapolis,  where  the  vesper 
services  are  musically  important.  He  has 
regularly  given  cantatas  and  oratorios,  and 
plans  are  being  made  for  annual  festivals  by 
the  combined  choirs  of  the  city.  He  is  presi- 
dent of  the  Civic  Music  League,  director  of 
music  at  the  Northrop  Collegiate  School, 
organist  for  the  Sunday  evening  services  at 
the  Auditorium  and  conductor  of  civic  pageants.

BACON  PIANO  COMPANY,  THE,  of 
New  York,  makers  of  uprights,  grands  and 
player-pianos,  have  had  a  long  history.  In 
1789  John  Jacob  Astor,  dealer  in  furs,  began 
importing  pianos  from  England,  simply  to 
make  his  trading  reciprocal.  In  1802  this 
importing  business  passed  to  John  and  Michael 
Paff  and  then  to  William  Dubois.  In  1821 
the  later  was  joined  by  Robert  Stodard  (see 
Register,  3),  and  they  began  manufacturing. 
In  1836  the  firm  was  reorganized  as  Dubois, 
Bacon  &  Chambers,  George  Bacon  having 
come  in.  In  1841  it  became  Bacon  &  Raven, 
and  in  1856  Raven  &  Bacon,  including  Francis 
Bacon,  who  was  George  Bacon's  son.  The 
present  president  is  W.  P.  H.  Bacon,  who  rep- 
resents still  another  generation.

BAKER,  BENJAMIN  FRANKLIN  (July 
16,  1811,  Wenham,  Mass.  :  March  11,  1889, 
Boston),  succeeded  Mason  as  teacher  of 
music  in  the  Boston  public  schools  in  1841- 
47,  having  been  for  ten  years  a  singer  or  director 
in  church-choirs  in  Salem  and  Boston.  He 
was  also  active  in  'convention'  work.  He 
was  vice-president  of  the  Handel  and  Haydn 
Society  in  1841-47,  and  soloist  at  numerous 
concerts.  In  1851  he  founded  the  Boston 
Music  School,  becoming  principal  and  head  of 
the  vocal  department.  At  the  dissolution  of  this 
school  in  1868  he  retired  from  active  musical 
work.  He  wrote  three  cantatas,  'The  Storm 


King,'  'The  Burning  Ship'  and  'Camillus,  the 
Roman  Conqueror,"  and  other  vocal  composi- 
tions. He  compiled  several  volumes  of  glees 
and  anthems,  was  author  of  Thorough-Bass  and 
Harmony,  1870,  and  edited  the  '  Boston  Musical 
Journal.'  See  TUNE-BOOKS,  1842.  [  R.3  ]

BAKER,  THEODORE  (June  3,  1851, 
New  York),  was  educated  in  New  York  and 
in  or  near  Boston,  early  serving  as  organist  in 
Concord,  Mass.  After  a  short  business  experi- 
ence, in  1871-2  he  journeyed  across  the  conti- 
nent to  Olympia,  Wash.,  looking  for  a  suitable 
opening  for  a  career.  Not  finding  this,  in 
1874  he  went  to  Germany  for  study,  first 
under  Oscar  Paul  at  Leipzig  and  from  1878  at 
the  University  there,  receiving  the  degree  of 
Ph.D.  in  1881.  His  thesis  (title  below)  was 
based  upon  investigations  made  in  1880 
among  the  Seneca  Indians  of  New  York  State, 
when  he  was  initiated  into  the  tribe  and  given 
remarkable  facilities  for  observing  tribal  songs 
and  dances,  supplemented  by  further  researches 
at  the  Indian  Training  School  at  Carlisle,  Pa., 
and  extended  reading  in  the  literature  of  early 
exploration  and  settlement.  This  thesis  was  the 
first  thoroughgoing  study  of  Indian  music  and 
marked  an  e'poch  in  both  matter  and  method. 
Shown  by  Gilbert  to  MacDowell  after  1890,  it 
provided  the  latter  with  suggestions  for  his 
'Indian  Suite.'  Baker  lived  in  Germany 
until  1890.  Since  1892  he  has  been  with  the 
firm  of  G.  Schirmer  in  New  York  as  literary 
editor.  Besides  putting  the  stamp  of  his 
culture  upon  thousands  of  its  publications, 
he  has  translated  many  works  of  importance 
and  edited  two  masterly  dictionaries. 

His  works  include  Ueber  die  Musik  der  nord- 
amerikanischen  Wilden,  1882,  Dictionary  of  Musical 
Terms,  1895  (18th  ed.,  1918),  Pronouncing  Pocket-

BALDWIN,  RALPH  LYMAN  (Mar.  27, 
1872,  Easthampton,  Mass.),  although  first 
preparing  as  organist  and  composer,  has 
also  become  a  leader  in  public-school  music, 
active  in  promoting  higher  standards  of  teach- 
ing and  musical  material  and  in  obtaining 
credit  for  music-work  in  high  schools.  He 
graduated  from  Williston  Seminary  in  1890 
and  studied  in  Boston  with  Chadwick,  Emery, 
Heindl  and  Elson.  After  being  organist  in 
Easthampton  and  Northampton,  Mass.,  in 
1904  he  became  musical  director  at  the  Fourth 
Congregational  Church  in  Hartford  and  in 
1917  moved  to  the  Immanuel  Congregational 
Church  there.  He  was  music-supervisor  in 
Northampton  in  1899-1904  and  has  since  held 
a  similar  position  in  Hartford.  He  directed 
the  Vocal  Club  of  Northampton  in  1894-1904, 
and  since  1906  the  Choral  Club  of  Hartford. 
Since  1900  he  has  been  one  of  the  proprietors 
of  the  Institute  of  Music  Pedagogy  at  North- 
ampton (summer-school) ,  where  he  has  trained 
a  great  number  of  supervisors.  His  organ-

Melodia'  (Schmidt)  are  popular  on  recital- 
programs,  and  he  has  published  anthems  and 
songs  (Schmidt,  Boston  Music  Co.)  The  light 
opera  '  Wanita '  has  had  amateur  performances. 
Choruses  for  men's  voices  are  still  in  manu-

gressive Melodies,  Progressive  Songs,  and  a 
series  of  ten  pamphlets  of  Standard  Song 
Classics  (Ginn).  [  R.8  ] 

BALDWIN,  SAMUEL  ATKINSON  (Jan. 
25,  1862,  Lake  City,  Minn.),  at  fifteen  was 
organist  of  the  House  of  Hope  Presbyterian 
Church  in  St.  Paul.  In  1884  he  graduated

teachers  were  Merkel  for  organ,  Wiillner  for 
composition  and  directing,  Rieschbieter  for 
harmony  and  counterpoint  and  Nicod6  for 
piano.  In  1886-89  he  was  organist  at  Plym- 
outh Church  in  Chicago.  He  was  then  in 
St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis  as  organist  and  con- 
ductor, founding  choral  societies  in  both  cities. 
Coming  to  New  York  in  1895,  he  was  organist

1907  he  was  appointed  to  the  new  chair  of 
music  at  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York. 


Here  he  instituted  the  Sunday  and  Wednesday 
afternoon  organ-recitals  which  have  become 
notable.  About  700  of  these  recitals  have  been 
given,  including  toward  1000  different  works 
of  every  school  of  organ-composition.  The 
annual  attendance  has  averaged  about  70,000. 
He  is  a  founder  and  fellow  of  the  A.  G.  O.  and 
was  one  of  the  ten  Americans  to  play  at  the 
Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago  in  1893.

piano  was  awarded  the  Grand  Prix  at  the  Paris 
Exposition  of  1900  and  a  similar  prize  at  the 
St.  Louis  Exposition  in  1904.  The  Baldwin 
type  of  player-piano  is  known  as  the  '  Manualo.'

spect' came  out  in  the  'Harvard  Musical 
Review,'  April,  1913,  and  his  piano-piece 
'Morning'  in  December,  1913.  His  Prelude  to 
'The  Delectable  Forest'  (Hagedorn)  was  first 
performed  at  the  MacDowell  Festival,  Peter- 
boro,  N.  H.,  in  1914;  the  Boston  Symphony 
Orchestra  played  his  symphonic  poem  'The 
Eve  of  Saint  Agnes'  in  January,  1917.  These

was  in  London,  where  Packer  and  Shakespeare 
were  his  teachers  in  singing,  Bridge  in  com- 
position and  Lowden  in  organ.  For  three 
years  he  taught  privately  at  Reading,  Pa., 
and  at  Albright  College,  Myerstown,  Pa.,  and 
pursued  composition  with  Clarke  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania,  where  he  was  made

he  'has  introduced  the  world  of  art,  and  par- 
ticularly of  British  art,  to  new  phases  and  new 
inspirations  over  which  he  has  planted  the 
British  flag  of  his  own  mueic  and  that  of  his

strings  and  piano.  'Child-Land  in  Song  and 
Rhythm '  is  published  in  two  books.  Her  most 
recent  works  are  'Three  Rossetti  Lyrics,'  a 
piano-suite,  'All  in  a  Garden  Fair,'  a  set  of 
piano-studies,  and  new  groups  of  songs.  [  R.8  ]

BARTLETT,  HOMER  NEWTON  (Dec. 
28,  1846,  Olive,  N.  Y.  :  Apr.  3, 1920,  Hoboken, 
N.  J.).  was  descended  from  Josiah  Bartlett,  a 
signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and 
the  first  governor  of  New  Hampshire.  After 
general  training  at  the  Ellenville  Academy 
and  under  tutors  in  New  York,  from  1861 
he  studied  piano  with  S.  B.  Mills  and  Emil 
Guyon,  organ  and  composition  with  Max 
Braun  and  O.  F.  Jacobsen.  As  early  as  1855 
he  played  in  public  and  in  1856  began  to  com- 
pose. From  about  1860  he  was  organist  in 
New  York,  his  longest  service  being  in 
the  Madison  Avenue  Baptist  Church,  where 
he  remained  nearly  thirty-five  years.  He  was 
a  founder  of  the  A.  G.  O.  and  served  terms  as 
president  of  the  N.  A.  O.  and  vice-president 
of  the  New  York  Manuscript  Society,  be- 
sides other  posts  of  honor.  Not  long  ago  the 
Fraternity  of  American  Musicians  celebrated 
the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  his  wedding  with  a 
banquet,  and  in  1918,  when  the  Hunt  Memorial 
Hall  was  dedicated  in  Ellenville,  N.  Y.,  a 
Bartlett  program  was  given,  with  his  violin- 
concerto  as  the  chief  item,  played  by  Miss 
Gunn  and  the  composer.  From  the  long  list 
of  his  compositions  —  nearly  250  in  number  — 
may  be  mentioned  the  3-act  opera  'La  Valliere' 
(1887)  and  the  operetta  'Magic  Hours';  the 
symphonic  poem  'Apollo,'  based  upon  the 
Iliad,  the  Concerto  in  G  and  Ballade  for  violin 
and  orchestra,  the  '  Legende '  for  orchestra ; 
'Khamsin,'  a  concert-aria  for  tenor  and 
orchestra  (rewritten  in  1908) ;  Toccata  in  E, 
Suite  in  C,  'Festival  Hymn,'  'De  Profundis,' 
and  'Meditation  Serieuse,'  all  for  organ; 
three  piano-ballades,  'Gavotte  Concertante,' 
'  Barcarolle '  and  some  6tudes ;  besides  many 
anthems,  songs,  etc.  Several  of  his  piano-pieces 
are  based  on  Japanese  themes.  See  Hughes,

BASSETT,  FRANKLIN  (Apr.  7,  1852, 
Wheeling,  W.  Va.  :  Mar.  7,  1915,  Pasadena, 
Cal.) ,  studied  at  Leipzig  under  Reinecke,  Plaidy 
and  Jadassohn.  While  there  an  attack  of 
pianist's  neuritis  destroyed  his  hopes  of  a  con- 
cert career  and  set  him  searching  for  a  technical 
system  less  dangerous  to  the  hand  than  those 
in  use.  In  1877  he  established  himself  in 
Cleveland  and  from  1882  was  one  of  the  direc- 
tors of  the  Cleveland  Conservatory  and 
organist  of  the  First  Methodist  Church.  His 
mode  of  instruction  aroused  general  interest 
and  he  soon  had  many  brilliant  piano-pupils 
whose  devotion  to  his  personality  and  prin- 
ciples was  a  remarkable  tribute.  He  was  con- 
sidered the  first  exponent  in  Ohio  of  a  modern

system  of  piano-technique.  His  physical 
misfortune  restricted  his  concert-work  as 
pianist  to,  chamber-music.  Here  also  he 
proved  a  pioneer  and,  with  the  aid  of  local 
string-players,  gave  first  performances  in 
Cleveland  of  the  quartets  and  quintets  of 
Schumann,  Brahms  and  others.  He  was  a 
founder  of  the  A.  G.  O.,  and,  besides  his  first 
position,  'was  organist  at  the  Plymouth  Con- 
gregational and  St.  Paul's  Episcopal  Churches. 
He  was  the  first  to  give  series  of  organ-recitals 
in  Cleveland.  [  R.7  ] 

BASSFORD,  WILLIAM  KIPP  (April  23, 
1839,  New  York  :  Dec.  22, 1902,  New  York) , 
having  studied  under  Samuel  Jackson,  was  a 
successful  pianist  at  an  early  age  and  for  a 
time  made  extensive  concert-tours.  Dislike 
of  travel  caused  him  to  settle  in  New  York  as 
organist  and  teacher  of  many  noted  pupils. 
His  last  organ-position  was  at  Calvary  Church, 
East  Orange,  N.  J.  His  compositions  include 
the  two-act  opera  'Cassilda',  a  mass  in  E-flat, 
church-music,  many  songs  and  piano-pieces 
of  the  salon  type.  He  was  engaged  by  Mme. 
Wallace  to  complete  Wallace's  unfinished 
opera  'Estrella'  (see  Vol.  v.  425).  [  R.4  ]

ten in  1861  in  Washington  in  order  to  supply 
better  words  for  a  march-song  popular  among 
the  Union  troops.  The  music  is  supposed  to 
have  originated  in  South  Carolina  —  possibly 
a  Negro  melody.  The  original  words  began 
'Say,  brothers,  will  you  meet  us.'  See  Elson,

BAUER,  HAROLD  (Apr.  28,  1873,  New 
Maiden,  near  London,  England),  began  his 
career  as  a  violinist.  He  studied  with  Pollitzer, 
at  nine  played  in  public,  and  for  several  years 
gave  concerts  with  his  two  sisters.  In  1892 


he  gave  up  the  violin  for  the  piano.  He  had 
some  lessons  from  Paderewski,  but  is  largely 
self-taught.  He  made  his  debut  as  pianist 
in  Paris  in  1893  and  a  tour  of  Russia  followed. 
He  has  given  recitals  and  played  with  orches- 
tras in  the  leading  cities  of  Europe,  includ- 
ing Spain  and  Sweden,  and  in  South  America, 
and  has  made  many  tours  in  the  United  States. 
His  first  appearance  in  the  latter  was  with  the 
Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  on  Dec.  1,  1900, 
playing  Brahms'  Concerto  in  D  minor.  He  is 
distinguished  as  an  ensemble-player,  and  has 
participated  with  the  leading  organizations 
and  soloists  in  innumerable  performances  of 
classic  and  modern  music.  As  soloist  his 
repertoire  is  almost  unlimited.  His  unhack- 
neyed programs  present  the  entire  range  of 
piano-music,  and  he  plays  works  for  the  harp- 
sichord with  the  same  enjoyment  and  success 
as  works  by  the  most  modern  composers.  He 
has  been  especially  active  in  the  presentation 
of  Brahms,  Schumann  and  Franck.  Some  of 
his  views  on  piano-playing  and  music  are 
set  forth  in  the  Introduction  he  contributed 
to  The  Art  of  Music,  Vol.  vii.  As  teacher  he 
has  influenced  many  players  of  the  younger 
generation,  and  in  recent  years  he  has  edited 
and  revised  some  valuable  piano-music.  He 
was  the  prime  mover  in  organizing  the  Bee- 
thoven Association,  which  began  its  perform- 
ances of  rarely-given  chamber-music  by 
Beethoven  in  the  fall  of  1919  at  ^Eolian  Hall 
in  New  York.  The  distinguished  artists  who 
assist  in  these  programs  contribute  their  serv- 
ices, and  the  proceeds  are  to  be  devoted  at 
first  to  the  publishing  of  Krehbiel's  translation 
of  Thayer's  Beethoven  and  later  to  the  relief 
of  needy  musicians.  [  R.9  ]

the  first  book  (in  the  proper  sense)  printed  in 
the  colonies.  It  had  extensive  use  not  only 
in  America,  but  in  England,  and  passed 
through  numerous  editions  (27th  in  1762). 
Of  the  first  edition  only  eight  copies  are 
known,  but  it  has  been  reprinted  in  facsimile

BEACH,  AMY  MARCY,  nee  Cheney  (Sept. 
5,  1867,  Henniker,  N.  H.).  See  article  in  Vol. 
i.  210.  She  has  been  an  active  concert-pianist 
since  1885,  appearing  with  the  Boston  Sym- 
phony Orchestra  and  other  orchestras,  as  well 
as  with  the  Kneisel  Quartet  and  similar  or- 
ganizations. In  1888,  playing  with  the  Boston 
Orchestra,  she  added  an  original  cadenza  to 
Beethoven's  C  minor  Concerto.  Her  first 
compositions  were  a  group  of  songs  in  1884. 
Her  first  work  in  large  form  was  the  Mass  in 
E-flat,  given  by  the  Handel  and  Haydn  So- 
ciety in  1892.  Her  Scena  and  Aria  from 
Schiller's  'Maria  Stuart'  was  first  sung  by 
Mrs.  Alves  with  the  New  York  Symphony 
Society  in  1892.  In  1893  she  was  asked  to 
provide  a  Festival  Jubilate  for  the  opening 
of  the  Columbian  Exposition  at  Chicago ;  in 
1898  also  a  'Song  of  Welcome'  for  the  Trans- 
Mississippi  Exposition  at  Omaha ;  and  in  1915 
a  'Panama  Hymn'  for  the  Panama-Pacific 
Exposition  at  San  Francisco.  Her  'Gaelic' 
Symphony  was  first  given  from  manuscript  by 
the  Boston  Orchestra  in  1896,  and  has  become 
frequent  on  the  programs  of  other  orchestras. 
Her  Concerto  in  C-sharp  minor  she  brought 
out  in  1900  with  the  Boston  Orchestra,  and 
she  has  since  played  it  often  both  in  America 
and  abroad.  After  the  death  of  her  husband 
in  1910  she  spent  four  years  in  Europe,  where 
she  was  heard  in  many  cities,  notably  Rome, 
Munich,  Dresden,  Hamburg,  Leipzig  and 
Berlin.  Her  'Gaelic'  Symphony  was  per- 
formed in  Hamburg  and  Leipzig,  and  her 
piano-quintet  and  violin-sonata  also  won 
recognition.  In  recent  years  her  songs, 
church-music  and  piano-works  have  received 
favorable  attention.  The  full  list  of  her 
works  is  as  follows :

JBEECHAM,  THOMAS  (April  29,    1879, 
Liverpool,  England),  was  educated  at  Rossall 


School,  Fleetwood,  where  he  had  lessons  in 
harmony  from  Sweeting,  followed  by  some 
study  with  Roberts  at  Oxford.  In  1899  he 
organized  an  amateur  orchestra  at  Huyton, 
a  suburb  of  Liverpool,  and  soon  displayed 
talent  as  conductor.  In  1902  he  was  con- 
ductor with  Kelson  Truman's  traveling  opera- 
company,  and  the  next  year  worked  upon  three 
operas  (unpublished).  His  first  important 
appearance  as  conductor  in  London  was  in 
1905.  The  next  year  he  founded  the  New 
Symphony  Orchestra,  from  which  he  resigned 
in  1908  and  organized  the  Beecham  Sym- 
phony Orchestra.  In  1910  he  leased  Covent 
Garden,  and  began  a  series  of  operatic  per- 
formances which  rapidly  gained  in  popularity. 
Delius'  'Romeo  and  Juliet  in  the  Village,' 
Smythe's  '  The  Wreckers '  and  Strauss  ' '  Elek- 
tra'  were  early  presented.  Stanford's  '  Shamus 
O'Brien'  and  'The  Critic,'  Holbrooke's 
'Dylan,'  Liza  Lehmann'a  'Everyman,'  and 
many  other  novelties  were  produced  later.  In 
1915  he  became  conductor  of  the  Philharmonic 
Society.  His  success  in  conducting  both  opera 
and  symphony  has  made  him  conspicuous  in 
English  music.  He  was  knighted  in  1916.  See 
'Musical  Times,'  October,  1910.

BEETHOVEN  CONSERVATORY,  THE, 
St.  Louis,  was  founded  in  1871  by  a  group  of 
public-spirited  citizens.  In  1872  it  passed 
into  the  control  of  August  Waldauer,  the 
violinist,  and  Hermann  Lavitsky  (d.  1874). 
The  former  long  remained  at  its  head  and 
developed  it  into  efficiency.  Since  1902  the 
directors  have  been  the  brothers  Epstein. 

BEETHOVEN  QUARTET  (or  QUINTET) 
CLUB,  THE,  of  Boston,  was  organized  in  1873 
by  Charles  N.  Allen,  the  violinist,  and  Wulf 
Fries,  the  'cellist,  at  first  with  Gustave  Dann- 
reuther  and  H.  Heindl.  For  more  than 
twenty  years  it  continued  under  some  similar 
name  and  with  changing  personnel,  exemplify- 
ing a  worthy  standard  of  ensemble-playing. 

BEETHOVEN  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  Chi- 
cago, organized  in  1873,  was  the  first  im- 
portant choral  society  (mixed  voices)  in 
that  city  after  the  Apollo  Club  (male  voices). 
Its  conductor  was  Carl  Wolfsohn,  the  pianist, 
who  was  drawn  from  Philadelphia  for  the  pur- 
pose. Among  the  works  introduced  were 
Beethoven's  Mass  in  C  and  Choral  Fantasia, 
Bruch's  'Odysseus,'  Hofmann's  'Fair  Melu- 
sina,'  etc.  In  1884  it  ceased  to  exist,  being 
overshadowed  by  later  enterprises. 

BEHNING  PIANO  COMPANY,  THE,  of 
New  York,  was  founded  in  1861  by  Henry 
Behning,  a  German  piano-maker  who  had 
had  fine  training,  and  since  his  death  has  been 
carried  on  successfully  by  his  two  sons.  Its 
total  output  has  been  over  50,000  instruments.

BERKSHIRE  QUARTET 


BETHLEHEM  BACH  CHOIR  131 


BERKSHIRE  STRING  QUARTET,  THE, 
is  the  name  adopted  for  the  Kortschak  Quartet 
of  Chicago  as  reorganized  in  1917  under  the 
patronage  of  Mrs.  Frederick  !S.  Coolidge  of 
New  York  in  connection  with  the  Berkshire 
Festivals  (see  above).  It  consists  of  Hugo 
Kortschak  and  Sergei  Kotlarsky,  violins,  Clar- 
ence Evans,  viola  (in  place  of  George  Dasch), 
and  Emmeran  Stoeber,  'cello.  It  is  understood 
that  after  the  Festival  of  1920  the  Quartet  is  to 
be  discontinued. 

J  BERNERS,  Lord  [Gerald  Hugh  Tyrwhitt] 
(Sept.  18,  1883,  London,  England),  received 
his  musical  training  in  Dresden  and  London, 
entered  the  British  diplomatic  service  in  1909 
and  since  1912  has  been  attached  to  the 
British  Embassy  at  Rome.  He  succeeded  as 
Baron  Berners  in  1918.  His  first  published 
works  were  three  funeral-marches  for  piano, 
the  first  for  a  statesman,  the  second  for  a 
canary,  the  third  for  a  rich  aunt.  Then 
followed  'Fragments  Psychologiques '  and  the 
miniature  tone-poem  'Le  Poisson  d'Or'  and 
'Valses  Bourgeoises,'  all  for  piano.  For 
orchestra  are  two  sets  of  three  pieces  each, 
the  first  including  'Chinoiserie,'  'Valse  Senti- 
mentale'  and  'Kasatchok';  the  second,  a 
'Fantaisie  Espagnole,'  including  a  Prelude, 
Fandango  and  March.  The  latter  set  was 
played  at  the  London  Promenade  Concerts  in 
1919.  Lord  Berners'  work  is  said  to  be  in- 
fluenced by  his  association  with  his  friends 
Casella  and  Stravinsky. 

BERWALD,  WILLIAM  HENRY  (Dec.  26, 
1864,  Schwerin,  Germany),  studied  composition 
in  1883-87  with  Rheinberger  in  Munich  and 
in  1887-88  with  Faiszt  in  Stuttgart.  In  1889 
he  became  director  of  the  Philharmonic 
Society  in  Libau,  Russia,  and  in  1892  came  to 
America  as  professor  of  composition  and  piano 
in  the  College  of  Fine  Arts  of  Syracuse  Uni- 
versity, succeeding  Goetschius.  He  is  director 
of  the  Ladies'  Chorus  of  the  College  and  choir- 
director  at  the  Fourth  Presbyterian  Church. 
The  degrees  of  Mus.M.  and  Mus.D.  were  con- 
ferred upon  him  by  the  University  in  1903 
and  1912.  He  won  the  prize  offered  by  the 
Philadelphia  Manuscript  Society  for  a  quintet 
for  piano  and  strings,  a  gold  medal  in  the 
Clemson  anthem-competition  for  1912  and 
first  prize  for  a  part-song  for  mixed  voices  in 
the  'Etude'  competition.  His  works  for 
orchestra  have  been  performed  abroad  as  well 
as  here.  Tertius  Noble,  at  St.  Thomas' 
Church  in  New  York,  gave  the  initial  perform- 
ance of  his  cantata  'The  Seven  Last  Words 
of  Christ.'  His  violin-sonata  in  F  received 
special  recognition  from  Joachim,  and  his 
piano-compositions  were  valued  by  William 
Mason.  He  has  been  a  most  industrious 
composer,  long  lists  of  his  works  being  found 
in  the  catalogues  of  leading  publishers.  They 


include  73  piano-pieces,  36  songs,  7  vocal 
duets,  13  part-songs  and  11  anthems  for 
women's  voices,  106  anthems  for  mixed  voices, 
19  anthems  for  men's  voices,  10  cantatas,  3 
secular  part-songs  for  mixed  voices,  two 
sonatas  for  violin  and  piano  and  two  Romances 
for  'cello  and  piano.  His  unpublished  com- 
positions are  the  prize  piano-quintet,  a  piano- 
trio,  a  dramatic  overture  (played  by  the  Court 
Opera  Orchestra  in  Schwerin,  and  by  the  New 
York  Symphony  Society  in  Pittsburgh,  Chicago 
and  Syracuse)  and  an  overture,  'Walthari' 
(played  at  the  Syracuse  Festival  by  the  New 
York  Symphony  Society  and  by  the  American 
Symphony  Orchestra  in  Chicago).  [  R.8  ] 

BETHANY  COLLEGE,  Lindsborg,  Kan., 
has  become  a  notable  center  for  the  musical 
enthusiasm  of  Swedish  Lutherans.  Its  first 
class  was  graduated  in  1891,  and  from  that 
time  music  has  been  a  conspicuous  element  in 
its  entire  life.  Besides  elaborate  opportunities 
for  individual  instruction,  including  many 
instruments,  there  are  two  large  choruses,  two 
orchestras,  two  bands  and  several  glee-clubs. 
For  nearly  thirty  years  a  May  Festival  of  sev- 
eral days  has  been  held  that  has  become 
famous.  The  director  is  Hagbard  Erase,  with 
14  other  instructors. 

BETHLEHEM  BACH  CHOIR,  THE,  of 
Bethlehem,  Pa.,  was  organized  in  its  present 
form  in  1900  through  the  efforts  of  Mrs.  Ruth 
Porter  Doster  and  under  the  inspiration  of 
J.  Fred  Wolle,  at  that  tune  organist  of  the 
Moravian  Church.  After  1905  it  was  sus- 
pended, owing  to  Dr.  Wolle's  removal  to  Cali- 
fornia, but  resumed  in  1912,  this  time  with 
generous  assistance  from  Charles  M.  Schwab. 
Dr.  Wolle  has  been  conductor  throughout. 
Up  to  1920  fifteen  Bach  Festivals  have  been 
held,  those  before  1905  in  the  Moravian  Church 
and  those  since  1912  at  Lehigh  University 
in  South  Bethlehem.  The  Festivals  now 
regularly  occupy  two  days,  but  in  the  past 
they  have  once  covered  six  and  once  were 
distributed  in  three  groups  of  three  each. 
The  programs  have  varied  much  in  part,  but 
the  B  minor  Mass  has  been  sung  at  every 
Festival.  The  St.  Matthew  Passion  has  been 
given  three  times,  the  St.  John  Passion  twice, 
the  Christmas  Oratorio  (complete)  four  tunes 
and  the  Magnificat  four  times.  Some  forty 
cantatas  have  been  produced,  about  one- 
quarter  of  them  more  than  once,  and  many 
detached  chorales.  The  Second  and  Third 
Brandenburg  Concertos  and  the  Suites  in  B 
minor  and  D  have  been  played.  In  the  early 
years  the  chorus  was  small,  even  under  100, 
but  has  lately  been  increased  to  about  250. 
Originally  the  orchestra  was  made  up  of  local 
players,  many  of  them  amateurs,  but  since 
1012  members  of  the  Philadelphia  Orchestra 
have  been  utilized.  Altogether  about  700

of  the  people  of  Bethlehem  and  vicinity  have 
been  members  of  the  chorus.  The  audiences 
have  been  phenomenal  not  simply  for  size, 
but  for  their  representative  quality,  including 
professional  musicians  from  all  over  the 
country  and  many  others.  In  more  than  one 
respect,  therefore,  these  Festivals  are  unique  and 
extraordinary.  They  have  been  carried  on  with 
infinite  industry  and  devotion,  and  their  artistic 
quality  has  been  universally  acknowledged. 

Back  of  the  present  Bach  Choir  lies  much 
history.  One  of  the  first  acts  of  the  founders 
of  the  Moravian  settlement  at  Bethlehem  in 
1742  was  to  hold  a  Singstunde,  and  from  1744 
a  Collegium  Musi  cum  was  steadily  maintained, 
credited  with  very  early  performances  of  parts 
of  several  oratorios.  In  1820  this  was  re- 
placed by  the  Philharmonic  Society,  which  was 
an  oratorio  society  of  more  constant  character. 
In  1882  the  young  Wolle  organized  the  Beth- 
lehem Choral  Union,  which  lasted  ten  years 
and  gave  the  St.  Matthew  Passion  in  1892.

BIGLOW  &  MAIN,  of  New  York,  is  the 
publishing-firm  organized  in  1868  by  Lucius 
H.  Biglow  (1833-1907)  and  Sylvester  Main 
(1817-73),  primarily  to  take  over  the  publi- 
cation of  W.  B.  Bradbury's  books.  Almost  im- 
mediately they  began  the  issue  of  the  series 
known  as  the  'Gospel  Hymns'  of  Moody  and 
Sankey.  From  that  time  they  became  the 
chief  publishers  of  popular  hymns  and  tunes 
of  this  class  by  a  great  variety  of  editors. 
Hubert  P.  Main  (see  Register,  5),  the  well- 
known  hymnologist,  has  been  connected  with 
the  firm  since  its  foundation  and  is  now  its 
treasurer.  As  a  hint  of  the  magnitude  of  the 
business  it  is  enough  to  recall  that  in  1886  no 


less  than  18,000,000  copies  of  popular  hymn- 
books  had  been  sold.  When  interest  in  Tonic 
Sol-Fa  arose  Biglow  &  Main  became  its  princi- 
pal representatives  in  America.  They  have 
issued  some  English  choir-music  of  high  quality.

BILLINGS,  WILLIAM  (Oct.  7,  1746, 
Boston  :  Sept.  29,  1800,  Boston),  often 
erroneously  called  'the  first  American  com- 
poser,' was  an  uneducated  man  of  humble 
origin,  by  trade  a  tanner,  who  had  an  ir- 
repressible enthusiasm  for  developing  popular 
singing.  He  was  somewhat  grotesque  in 
personal  appearance,  unconventional  in  ex- 
pression and  far  from  technically  expert  in 
music.  But  his  zeal  was  contagious  and  the 
freshness  of  his  tunes  caught  popular  at- 
tention. His  first  efforts  came  when  the 
New  England  churches  were  beginning  to  use 
hymns  by  Watts  and  others  in  addition  to  the 
traditional  versified  Psalms,  and  the  rhyth- 
mical swing  and  curious  'fuguing'  effects  of 
his  tunes  corresponded  to  the  independent 
feeling  of  the  time.1  His  later  work,  after 
the  Revolutionary  War,  often  gave  voice  to 
the  patriotic  fervor  of  that  period.  His  name 
appears  in  1764  in  connection  with  the  sale  of 
concert-tickets.  His  series  of  six  books  began 
in  1770  (see  list  under  TUNE-BOOKS)  ,  con- 
tinuing till  1794.  In  1774  he  seems  to  have 
conducted  a  singing-class  at  Stoughton,  which 
became  the  germ  of  the  Stoughton  Musical 
Society  in  1786.  It  is  probable  that  he  taught 
many  similar  classes.  Selections  from  his 
works,  mostly  'anthems,'  have  been  noted  in 
concert-programs  in  Boston  in  1782,  '87  and 
'96,  and  in  Philadelphia  in  1786-88.  A  few 
of  his  tunes,  such  as  'Chester'  (for  which  he 
provided  patriotic  words),  continued  in  use 
for  some  time,  though  steadily  replaced  by 
the  better  productions  of  later  writers.  It  is 
supposed  that  he  first  introduced,  or  at  least 
made  popular,  the  use  of  the  pitch-pipe  and 
also  of  the  'cello  or  double-bass  for  accompani- 
ment. See  Ritter,  Music  in  America,  chap,  iii

of  Music,  pp.  25-9,  Elson,  Hist,  of  American 
Music,  pp.  12-9,  etc.  [  R.I  ]

outbreak  of  popular  tunes  in  America  in  1770  and 
the  rise  of  Methodist  singing  in  England  about  1740.

Philadelphia).  See  article  in  Vol.  i.  333.  Add 
to  the  list  of  works  which  he  has  introduced 
in  America  and  England  the  following :  Liza 
Lehmann's  'Persian  Garden'  and  her  ro- 
mantic opera  'The  Vicar  of  Wakefield'  (Lon- 
don, Nov.  12,  1906) ;  Schilling's  'Witch's 
Song,'  Cole's  'King  Robert  of  Sicily,'  Bergh's 
setting  of  'The  Raven'  and  many  other  pieces 
for  recitation.  He  has  constantly  championed 
the  use  of  English  versions  wherever  prac- 
ticable, and  has  made  a  specialty  of  song- 
cycles  in  English,  such  as  Beethoven's  'To 
a  Distant  Beloved,'  Schubert's  'Songs  of  the 
Mill'  and  'Winter  Journey,'  and  Schumann's 
'The  Poet's  Love.'  He  has  been  foremost  in 
reviving  the  art  of  declamation  to  music,  and 
is  noted  for  his  performance  of  Sophocles' 
'Antigone'  with  Mendelssohn's  music  and  of 
Byron's  'Manfred'  with  Schumann's  music. 
His  operatic  repertory  includes  over  fifty 
parts,  and  he  has  sung  in  more  than  a  hundred 
oratorios  and  cantatas  —  his  Elijah  being 
particularly  famous.  Of  songs  of  all  schools 
he  has  sung  at  least  1500.  His  powers  as  an 
actor  are  universally  recognized,  but  it  is  as 
a  singer  in  opera  and  concert  that  he  is  most 
widely  known.  He  has  edited  two  volumes

BOCHAU 


BLOCH,  ERNEST  (July  24,  1880,  Geneva, 
Switzerland) ,  was  a  pupil  at  Geneva  of  Jaques- 
Dalcroze  in  1894-96,  at  Brussels  of  Ysaye  and 
Rasse  in  1896-99,  and  at  Frankfort  of  Ivan 
Knorr  in  1899-1900.  He  spent  time  in  Paris 
and  Munich  before  returning  to  Geneva  in 
1904.  He  conducted  concerts  in  Lausanne 
and  Neuchatel  in  1909-10,  and  occasionally 
acted  as  guest-conductor  of  his  own  works. 
In  1911-15  he  lectured  at  the  Geneva  Conserv- 
atory. Since  1916  he  has  lived  in  the  United 
States,  for  two  years  teaching  composition 
at  the  Mannes  School  of  Music  in  New  York. 
His  compositions  are  the  symphonic  poem 
'  Vivre  et  Aimer '  (1900);  Symphony  in  C-sharp 
minor  (1901-03);  '  Hiver-Printemps '  (1904- 
05,  Schirmer);  'Poemes  d'Automne'  (1906, 
Schirmer) ;  'Macbeth,'  drame  lyrique  (1904- 
10),  given  at  the  Opera-Comique  in  1910-11 
(Astruc-Enoch) ,  and  '  Historiettes  au  Cre- 
puscule'  (Demets).  Works  inspired  by  Jewish 
themes  are  '3  Poemes  Juifs'  (1913,  Schirmer) ; 
Psalms  137,  114  and  22  for  voice  and  orchestra 
(1911-14,  Schirmer);  'Schelomo,'  a  rhapsody 
for  'cello  and  orchestra  (1916,  Schirmer). 
'Israel,'  a  symphony  for  orchestra  ancl  voices, 
was  begun  in  1914 ;  the  Jewish  opera  '  Jezabel,' 
piano-pieces  and  other  works  are  still  in  an 
incomplete  stage.  The  string-quartet  in  B 
has  been  played  in  America  by  the  Flonzaley 
Quartet.  A  suite  for  viola  and  orchestra  (or 
piano)  is  in  MS.  He  has  conducted  perform- 
ances of  his  orchestral  works  in  Boston,  New 
York,  Philadelphia  and  Chicago,  and  they  have 
also  been  given  in  Minneapolis,  St.  Paul,  St. 
Louis  and  San  Francisco.  The  symphony  in  C- 
eharp  minor  has  been  pronounced  by  Romain 
Rolland  '  one  of  the  most  important  works  of 
the  modern  school.'  In  1919  he  won  the  prize 
in  the  Coolidge  (Berkshire)  competition  for 
his  Suite  for  viola  and  piano.  [  R.10  ] 

BLODGETT,  BENJAMIN  COLMAN 
(Boston,  Mar.  12,  1838),  from  1847  studied 
piano  with  James  Hooton  of  Boston  and 
organ  with  W.  R.  Babcock.  He  became 
organist  of  the  Essex  Street  Church  in  1850 
and  in  1853  went  to  the  Eliot  Church  in 
Newton,  where  he  remained  five  years.  Then 
followed  a  period  of  three  years  at  Leipzig. 
In  1861  he  returned  to  Boston  and  was  active 
as  teacher,  concert-pianist  and  organist  of 
the  Park  Street  Church.  He  became  music- 
master  at  the  Maplewood  Institute  in  Pitts- 
field,  Mass.,  in  1865,  and  this  led  to  the  estab- 
lishment in  1870  of  a  separate  music-school 
under  his  direction.  In  1878  he  became 
professor  of  music  at  Smith  College  in  North- 
ampton, and  there  soon  established  the  Smith 
College  School  of  Music,  of  which  he  was  prin- 
cipal until  1903.  A  year  later  he  became  or- 
ganist and  choir-director  at  Lei  and  Stanford 
University  in  California.  Here  he  gave  many 


organ-recitals  until  the  destruction  of  the 
chapel  by  the  earthquake  of  April,  1906.  Ill- 
ness in  his  family  caused  his  retirement  from 
public  life  in  1914,  and  he  has  since  lived  in 
Seattle.  He  has  made  numerous  trips  to 
Europe,  appearing  as  pianist  several  times  in 
London  and  Leipzig,  and  making  the  acquaint- 
ance of  many  distinguished  musicians  (Liszt 
at  Weimar  in  1860,  Wagner  at  Bayreuth  in 
1876  and  1882).  As  a  musical  educator  he 
exercised  influence  for  almost  half  a  century. 
Comparatively  little  of  his  attention  has  been 
given  to  composition,  but  he  has  published 
a  set  of  Etudes  for  advanced  piano-students, 
op.  20,  a  cantata,  'The  Prodigal  Son,'  op.  31 
(1895),  piano-pieces  and  church-music.  Un- 
published works  in  larger  form  are  the  oratorio 
'Job'  (Smith  College  Commencement,  1889, 
revised  1890),  an  overture,  concert-pieces  for 
orchestra  and  a  string-quartet.  [  R.4  ] 

BLUM,  ELIAS  (Feb.  22,  1881,  Isaacfalln, 
Hungary),  was  brought  to  Boston  in  1891,  and 
there  received  his  general  education,  studying 
piano  with  Kelterborn  and  composition  with 
Goetschius.  After  four  years'  study  at  the 
Grand-Ducal  School  in  Weimar  (organ,  piano, 
voice,  composition  and  conducting)  he  re- 
turned to  Boston  and  was  active  for  a  time 
as  singer  and  organist.  In  1909  he  went  to 
Walla  Walla,  Wash.,  as  music-director  at 
Whitman  College.  In  1917  he  removed  to 
Grinnell  College  in  Iowa.  His  published 
compositions  are  a  Passacaglia  and  Scherzo 
for  organ,  a  Capriccio  for  piano,  songs, 
choruses  and  anthems.  A  number  of  works 
are  still  in  manuscript,  among  them  a  piano- 
trio  in  G  minor.  [  R.9  ]

BOCHAU,  CHARLES  HENRY  (July  7, 
1870,  Holstein,  Germany),  was  brought  to 
America  as  a  boy.  He  had  no  opportunity  for 
serious  musical  study  until  1892,  when  he 
entered  the  Peabody  Conservatory  in  Balti- 
more, studying  harmony  and  composition 
with  Hamerik,  Kahmer  and  Boise,  and  piano 
with  Burmeister.  After  graduation  in  1899 
he  also  studied  voice  with  Heimendahl.  In 
1897  he  was  appointed  on  the  staff  of  the  Con- 
servatory, where  he  is  now  in  the  vocal  depart- 
ment. Since  1905  he  has  also  had  charge  of 
music  at  the  Maryland  School  for  the  Blind. 
The  Kimball  Prize  of  the  Chicago  Madrigal 
Club  was  awarded  to  him  in  1908.  In  1910- 
14  he  was  choir-master  of  the  Madison  Avenue 
Synagogue  and  devoted  much  time  to  the 
arrangement  and  development  of  Jewish 
music.  He  became  director  of  the  Arion 
Singing  Society  in  1913,  succeeding  David 
Melamet,  and  has  recently  been  appointed 
conductor  of  the  new  Johns  Hopkins  Uni- 
versity Orchestra  (60  players),  consisting  of

members  of  the  student-body  and  faculty 
and  the  best  amateurs  of  the  community. 
The  first  concert  was  given  in  May,  1919,  and 
inaugurated  a  new  musical  activity  in  the 
institution.  His  published  compositions  are 
the  prize- chorus  'I  know  the  way  of  the  wild 
blush-rose,'  for]  mixed  voices;  the  anthems

Still  in  MS.  are  a  Concert-Overture  and  Fan- 
taisie  for  large  orchestra,  a  String-Quartet  in 
G,  a  Serenade  for  strings  and  flute,  a  Nocturne 
for  'cello  and  piano,  and  a  Fugue  for  two 
choirs  on  'Ein'  feste  Burg,'  Hebraic  music  for 
chorus  and  organ,  detached  choruses,  and 
further  pieces  for  violin  and  piano.  [  R.8  ] 

BODANZKY,  ARTTJR  (Dec.  16,  1877, 
Vienna,  Austria),  was  a  pupil  of  Griin, 
Gradener  and  J.  N.  Fuchs  at  the  Vienna  Con- 
servatory. He  became  a  violinist  in  the 
orchestra  of  the  Imperial  Opera  in  1896.  His 
first  engagement  as  conductor  was  in  1900  at 
Budweis  in  Bohemia,  going  thence  to  the 
Carl-Theater  in  Vienna.  He  conducted  a 
season  of  light  opera  in  Petrograd  in  1901. 
In  1902  he  returned  to  the  Vienna  Opera  as 
assistant  to  Mahler.  Two  years  later  he  was 
in  Paris  conducting  the  first  French  perform- 
ance of  'Fledermaus'  ('La  Chauve-Souri'). 
Returning  to  Vienna,  he  became  conductor  at 
the  Theater  an  der  Wien.  For  nearly  three 
seasons  from  1906  he  was  director  at  the  Royal 
Opera  in  Prague  and  also  conductor  of  the 
Philharmonic  Concerts  there.  In  1909  he 
became  director  of  the  Grand-Ducal  Theater  at 
Mannheim,  where  he  also  conducted  the  Phil- 
harmonic and  Oratorio  Society  concerts. 
At  the  same  time  he  made  frequent  visits  as 
guest-conductor  to  London,  Milan,  Rome, 
Petrograd,  Moscow,  Brussels,  Cologne,  Vienna, 
Munich  and  other  prominent  centers.  In 
1914  he  conducted  the  first  performance  of 
'Parsifal'  in  England.  In  1915  he  came  to 
the  Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  New  York. 
His  most  conspicuous  single  achievement  there 
is  his  new  version  of  Weber's  'Oberon,'  the 
score  and  orchestral  parts  of  which  he  reedited. 
In  the  spring  of  1919  he  made  his  debut  in 
New  York  as  a  symphonic  conductor,  leading 
the  New  Symphony  Orchestra.  He  has  con- 
tinued in  this  post  through  the  courtesy  of 
the  management  of  the  Opera.  [  R.10  ] 

BOEKELMAN,  BERNARDUS  (June  9, 
1838,  Utrecht,  Holland),  had  his  first  musical 
studies  with  his  father,  Anton  J.  Boekelman, 
who  was  a  chorus-director  and  organist.  He 
studied  at  the  Leipzig  Conservatory  in  1857- 
60  under  Moscheles,  Richter  and  Hauptmann, 


and  in  1862-64  was  a  private  pupil  of  von 
Billow,  Kiel  and  Weitzmann.  He  migrated 
to  Mexico  during  Maximilian's  regime,  but  in 
1866  settled  in  New  York.  The  same  year  he 
toured  with  Carl  Formes  and  Jehin-Prume 
under  the  management  of  Strakosch.  With 
R.  Richter,  violinist,  and  E.  Schenck,  'cellist, 
he  founded  the  New  York  Trio  Club,  and 
played  at  the  first  performance  in  New  York 
of  Tchaikovsky's  Trio,  op.  50,  Scharwenka's 
Concerto  in  B  minor  and  Liszt's  'Danse  Ma- 
cabre.' In  1883-97  he  was  music-director 
at  Miss  Porter's  School  in  Farmington,  Conn., 
and  since  1897  has  been  in  the  same  position 
at  Mrs.  Dow's  School  at  Briarcliff,  N.  Y.,  as 
well  as  teaching  privately  in  New  York.  His 
published  works  include  a  Festival  March, 
op.  1,  for  piano,  four  hands  (also  for  band, 
string-orchestra  and  two  pianos) ;  a  Romance, 
op.  2,  for  violin  or  'cello  and  piano;  a  'Balla- 
bile,'  op.  3,  for  piano  or  string-orchestra;  a 
Concert  Polonaise,  op.  4,  for  piano  (also  for

'T6te-a-Tete,'  op.  13,  a  piano-waltz;  and 
three  octave-studies  for  piano,  op.  14.  His 
analytical  editions  of  sixteen  fugues  from 
Bach's  'Well-Tempered  Clavichord'  and  'In- 
ventions' have  had  a  wide  circulation.  In 
these  the  themes  are  printed  in  colors  and 
rhombic  notes,  to  facilitate  the  study  of  con- 
trapuntal style.  The  fundamental  harmony 
is  printed  separately  for  a  second  piano  or  the 
organ.  [  R.5  I 

BOEPPLER,  WILLIAM  (Feb.  21,  1863,

BOHEMIAN  CLUB 


BOISE 


BOHEMIAN  CLUB,  THE,  of  San  Francisco, 
has  become  famous  for  maintaining  unique 
open-air  performances  for  its  members  and 
their  guests  in  which  literary,  dramatic  and 
musical  elements  are  mingled  in  varying 
proportions.  The  initial  experiment  was 
made  in  1878,  leading  to  a  series  of  'Mid- 
summer High  Jinks'  that  continued  from 

1879  to  1901.     The  programs  for  these  were  at 
first  miscellaneous,  but  tended  after  1890  to  be- 
come  unified   upon   some   plan   proposed   by 
the  leader  or   'sire'   for  the  year,   resulting 
often  in  a  continuous  play  or  drama.     From 

1880  the  exercises  regularly  culminated  in  a 
symbolic  ceremony  called  'The  Cremation  of 
Care,'    and    until    about    1910    the    thought 
underlying    this    dominated    other    exercises. 
Of  late  years,  however,  this  ceremony  has  been 
transferred  to  the  opening  of  the  celebration. 
Since  1902  the  principal  event  has  been  the 
presentation    of    a    'Grove-Play,'    which    has 
become    increasingly    significant    artistically. 
In   these    'plays,'    as   in   the   earlier   'Jinks,' 
music  has  figured  largely,  either  in  melodrama 
or  in  fairly  complete  operatic  form,  enlisting 
the    genius    of   many    composers    and    inter- 
preters.    From  almost  the  first  the   'revels' 
have   been  held   in   the   impressive  redwood 
forests  of  Sonoma  County  to  the  northwest 
of  San  Francisco.     They  are  now  domiciled 
at  'The  Grove,'  a  tract  of  over  800  acres  on 
the   Russian   River   near   Guerneville.     Here 
the  Club  holds  a  two  weeks'  encampment  in 
August.     The  theater  or  arena  at  its  center 
now  has  (1920)  a  3-manual  open-air  organ  re- 
sembling that  successfully  installed  at  San  Diego 
in  1915. 

Among  the  earlier  productions  which 
approximated  the  later  musico-dramatic  type 
were  'The  Sermon  of  the  Myriad  Leaves' 
(1892),  'The  Sacrifice  in  the  Forest'  (1893) 
and  'The  Enigma  of  Life'  (1901).  The  list 
of  'Grove-Plays'  is  as  follows :

In  1918  there  were  published  in  a  limited 
edition  three  volumes  of  Grove-Plays  of  the 
Bohemian  Club,  with  a  thoughtful  Introduction 
by  the  editor,  Porter  Garnett,  the  well-known 
dramatic  critic  and  author.  Many  of  the  plays 
are  preceded  by  special  introductions  by  the 
authors  of  the  words,  and  in  most  cases  notes  are 
given  of  the  principal  themes  employed  in  the 
musical  settings.  Articles  upon  the  work  of 
the  Club  have  been  written  by  Jesse  L.  Williams 
in  'Collier's  Magazine'  (Sept.  7,  1907),  by 
Arthur  Farwell  in  'Musical  America'  (Oct.  16, 
1909)  and  by  Percy  Mackaye  in  The  Civic 
Theatre  (1912).  See  also  an  appreciative  notice

BOHEMIANS,  THE,  of  New  York,  is  a 
fraternal  union  of  musicians,  started  in  1907, 
of  which  Rubin  Goldmark  was  president  in

BOISE,  OTIS  BARDWELL  (Aug.  13, 
1844,  Oberlin,  O.  :  Dec.  2,  1912,  Baltimore), 
while  attending  school  in  Cleveland  began  to 
play  the  organ  in  church  when  but  fourteen. 
In  1861  he  went  to  Leipzig,  studying  with 
Hauptmann,  Richter  and  Moscheles  for 
three  years  and  then  continued  at  Berlin 
with  Kullak.  In  1865  he  returned  to  Cleve- 
land and  for  five  years  was  teacher  and 
organist  there.  Then  followed  six  years  in 
New  York,  teaching  composition  in  the  New 
York  Conservatory  and  serving  as  organist 
at  the  Fifth  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church.  In 
1877  he  went  to  Europe  again  as  student  and 
composer  and  enjoyed  the  advice  and  assist- 
ance of  Liszt.  In  1878-88  he  was  in  New 
York,  for  three  years  in  music  and  for  seven 
years  in  other  business.  Then  for  thirteen 
years  he  was  in  Berlin,  gaining  a  fine  reputa- 
tion as  teacher  of  theory.  He  returned  to 
America  in  1901,  becoming  teacher  of  theory 
and  composition  at  the  Peabody  Conservatory 
in  Baltimore  and  music-critic  of  the  ,'News,' 
holding  both  positions  until  his  death.  Among 
his  well-known  pupils  are  Huss,  Brockway,

was  made  Senator  of  the  Kingdom. 

BOLLINGER,  SAMUEL  (Sept.  22,  1871, 
Fort  Smith,  Ark.),  was  the  son  of  a  musician 
and  early  played  the  piano  in  his  father's  trio. 
His  first  piano-lessons  were  with  Emil  Winkler ; 
later  he  studied  at  Leipzig  with  Reinecke, 
Zwintscher,  Schreck  and  Quasdorf.  He  won 
a  scholarship  at  the  Conservatory,  taught

in  1893-5.  In  1896  he  founded  the  Bellinger 
Conservatory  at  Fort  Smith,  Ark.,  but  two 
years  later  removed  to  San  Francisco.  Eight 
years  were  spent  there  and  one  in  Chicago 
before  starting  the  Bellinger  Piano  School  in 
St.  Louis  in  1907.  He  has  performed  pro- 
grams of  his  own  compositions,  besides  lectur- 
ing on  symphonies.  His  works  include

BONAWITZ,  JOHANN  HEINRICH  (Dec. 
4, 1839,  Diirkheim,  Germany  :  Aug.  15,  1917, 
London),  was  of  Polish  origin.  He  studied 
at  the  Liege  Conservatory,  and  was  brought 
to  America  in  1852.  At  twenty-two  he  re- 
turned to  Europe  and  made  several  concert- 
tours  as  pianist  with  Joachim.  He  also  taught 
in  Wiesbaden,  Paris  and  London.  In  1872-73 
he  organized  popular  symphony-concerts  in 
New  York,  but  these  failed  from  lack  of  popular 
appreciation.  His  piano-recitals  on  a  tour  in 
1873  were  more  successful.  In  Philadelphia 


he  produced  two  operas,  'The  Bride  of 
Messina'  (1874)  and  'Ostrolenka'  (1875).  In 
1876  he  removed  to  Vienna,  and  his  last  thirty 
years  were  spent  in  London.  Here  he  founded 
the  Mozart  Society,  which  gave  annual  series 
of  concerts  largely  devoted  to  Mozart's 
music.  Excerpts  from  his  opera  'Napoleon' 
were  given  in  concert-form  in  London  in  1911. 
His  works  included  the  above  operas  and  also 
'Diogenes'  (1870)  and  'Irma'  (1885,  London), 
a  Requiem,  a  Stabat  Mater,  a  piano-quintet, 
a  string-quartet,  a  trio,  many  piano-pieces 
and  songs.  [  R.5  ]

BONVIN,  LUDWIG  (Feb.  17,  1850,  Siders, 
Switzerland),  after  completing  his  college 
course  in  Sion  in  1870,  studied  medicine  in 
Vienna  and  law  in  Sion,  but  entered  the  Jesuit 
Order  in  1874  in  Holland.  There  and  in 
England  for  several  years  he  held  positions 
as  organist.  He  was  ordained  priest  in

he  is  chiefly  self-taught.  Though  once  en- 
gaged about  equally  in  secular  and  ecclesi- 
astical music,  he  has  lately  worked  to  improve 
the  music  and  text  of  Catholic  English  hym- 
nology  and  to  restore  the  original  rhythmic 
values  in  Gregorian  chant.  He  has  published 
several  hymn-books,  among  which  'Hosanna' 
is  most  notable.  Taking  up  the  work  of  A. 
Dechevreus  and  Gietmann,  he  has  also  pub- 
lished many  historical,  scientific  and  controver- 
sial essays  in  various  languages  and  issued 
several  practical  rhythmizations  of  the  Vatican 
melodies.  His  compositions  are  as  follows :

a  program  of  original  works  which  included 
the  prize  string-quartet,  groups  of  songs  and  a 
concerto  in  G  minor  for  violin,  played  by  him- 
self.    In  1905  he  became  violin-instructor  and

land, he  won  part  of  the  divided  first  prize  for  a 
setting  of  Hugo's  'The  Dj inns'  for  orchestra, 
mixed  chorus  and  baritone  solo.     In  1915  his 
cantata   'Onowa,'   for  mixed  voices,   soprano 
and   orchestra,    was   awarded   the   first  prize 
($500)  by  the  Tri-City  Music  Festival  Associa-

BOROWSKI,  FELIX  (Mar.  10,  1872,  Bur- 
ton,   England),    came    of    distinguished   Pol- 
ish  stock.      His   father   gave    him   his  [early 
instruction  on  the  piano  and  the  violin.     His 
mother    was    English,    a    pupil    of    Sterndale 
Bennett.     She   too   had   a   large   part   in   his 
training.     During  his  school-days  at  London 
and  at  Tunbridge  Wells  he  studied  the  violin 
with  Jacques  Rosenthal,  a  pupil  of  Leonard. 
He  gained  much  from  the  constant  practice 
of  chamber-music  at  home.     In  1887  he  went 
to   the   Cologne   Conservatory,    taking  violin 
with  Japha,  piano  with  Ernst  Heuser  and  com- 
position   with    Gustav    Jensen.     In    London 
from  1889  he  had  violin-lessons  from  Pollitzer 
and   counterpoint  with   Pearce.     In   1892   he 
became  violin-teacher  at  a  school  in  Aberdeen, 
but  the  school  soon  failed  and  he  returned  to

London.  In  1896  he  produced  his  'Russian 
Sonata,'  which  won  strong  commendation  from 
Grieg,  as  also  from  Leschetizky,  Sauer,  Rosen- 
thai  and  others.  Its  success  led  to  a  call  to 
join  the  faculty  of  the  Chicago  Musical  Col- 
lege as  teacher  of  composition,  beginning  in 
August,  1897.  Here  he  also  taught  the  violin 
and  lectured  on  music-history.  Recently 
(April,  1916)  he  has  succeeded  to  the  presidency 
of  the  College.  In  1905  he  also  was  Chicago 
correspondent  of  the  '  Musical  Courier,'  from 
1906  critic  for  the  Chicago  'Evening  Post,' 
and  in  1909-18  for  the  '  Record-Herald.'  Since 
1908  he  has  been  the  maker  of  the  program- 
books  for  the  Chicago  Symphony  Orchestra.

THE,  was  founded  in  1867  by  Julius  Eichberg, 
the  eminent  violinist,  who  continued  at  its 
head  till  his  death  in  1893.  For  many  years 
it  was  one  of  the  leading  schools  of  the  country, 
and  before  1886  is  said  to  have  educated  some 
15,000  pupils.  In  violin-instruction  it  was 
especially  eminent.  As  with  its  competitor, 
the  New  England  Conservatory  (also  founded 
in  1867),  much  teaching  was  for  a  long  time 
done  in  small  groups  instead  of  individually. 


After  Eichberg's  death  the  Conservatory  was 
for  a  time  continued  with  success  by  Herman 
P.  Chelius. 

BOSTON  IDEAL  OPERA  COMPANY, 
THE,  was  the  name  used  from  1879  by  a 
troupe  of  light-opera  singers,  the  best  of  whom 
later  (1887)  formed  the  more  famous  com- 
pany known  as  '  The  Bostonians.'  '  The 
Ideals'  were  first  assembled  by  Miss  Ober 
for  the  production  of  '  Pinafore.'  Leading 
singers  were  Barnabee  and  Karl. 

BOSTON  MUSIC  CO.,  THE,  was  started 
in  1885  by  Gustave  Schirmer,  the  son  of  the 
founder  of  the  Schirmer  house  in  New  York, 
and  conducted  by  him  till  1891,  when  he  re- 
turned to  New  York  to  succeed  his  father  and 
the  Boston  house  became  a  branch  of  that  in 
New  York.  The  Company  has  always  main- 
tained a  considerable  amount  of  independent 
publishing  and  has  put  forth  much  music  by 
American  composers. 

BOSTON  MUSIC  SCHOOL,  THE,  was 
one  of  the  early  attempts  to  establish  an 
institution  in  several  departments.  Prepara- 
tion for  it  was  begun  by  Benjamin  F.  Baker 
in  1847,  when  the  Academy  of  Music,  started 
by  Mason  in  1833,  came  to  an  end.  The 
School  was  incorporated  in  1851  and  opened 
with  a  considerable  faculty.  Baker  remained 
at  its  head  until  1868,  when  the  enterprise 
was  given  up. 

BOSTON  OPERA  COMPANY,  THE,  was 
organized  in  1908  on  lines  similar  to  those  of 
the  Metropolitan  in  New  York  and  in  such 
affiliation  with  it  as  to  admit  of  more  or  less 
exchange  of  artists,  especially  for  German 
works.  A  superb  new  opera-house  was  built 
and  in  November,  1909,  the  first  season 
opened  with  'La  Gioconda. '  To  increase 
the  supply  of  singers,  the  Boston  Opera  School 
was  started,  with  an  arrangement  for  'd6bu- 
tante-nights'  at  intervals  for  the  appear- 
ance of  promising  aspirants.  In  1910  first 
American  performances  were  given  of  De- 
bussy's 'L'Enfant  Prodigue,'  Laparra's  'Ha- 
banera' and  Rachmaninov's  'The  Miser- 
Knight,'  in  1911  of  Converse's  'The  Sacrifice,' 
and  in  1913  of  Bizet's  'Djamileh,'  Aubert's 
'  La  Foret  Bleue '  and  Fevrier's  '  Monna  Vanna.' 
The  number  of  performances  each  season  was 
about  90.  The  outbreak  of  the  war  in  1914 
led  to  the  canceling  of  the  next  season,  and  in 
May,  1915,  the  enterprise  went  into  bank- 
ruptcy. Many  of  its  singers  and  most  of  its 
property  were  secured  by  Max  Rabinoff ,  who 
for  two  years  longer  made  tours  with  what 
was  called  the  Boston  National  Opera  Com- 
pany, at  first  with  remarkable  success,  espe- 
cially in  the  fine  presentation  of  ballets.  But 
in  1917  this,  too,  became  bankrupt.

BOSTON  STRING  QUARTET,  THE,  was 
a  chamber-group  maintained  in  1915-19  by 
players  in  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra. 
It  consisted  of  Syivain  Noack  and  Otto  Rath, 
violins,  Emil  Ferir,  viola,  and  Alwin  Schroeder, 
'cello. 

BOSTON  SYMPHONY  ORCHESTRA, 
THE.  See  Vol.  iv.  800-1.  The  supreme 
excellence  of  the  Orchestra  has  been  steadily 
maintained  and  its  commanding  influence 
widened  and  intensified.  The  character  of 
the  programs  and  of  their  interpretation  has 
naturally  varied  somewhat  with  changing 
conductors,  but  the  liberal  and  catholic  policy 
of  attention  to  the  whole  range  of  orchestral 
literature  has  been  constant.  Dr.  Muck's 
first  incumbency  as  conductor,  on  leave  from 
Berlin,  covered  the  seasons  of  1906-08.  From 
1908  to  1912  he  was  followed  by  Max  Fiedler. 
In  1912  Muck  returned  as  permanent  con- 
ductor, but  in  March,  1918,  he  was  arrested 
as  an  enemy  alien  and  in  1919  was  sent  out  of 
the  country.  The  conductor  for  1918-19  was 
the  French  composer  Henri  Rabaud,  and  since 
1919  Pierre  Monteux  (who  had  also  led  some 
performances  in  1918  before  Rabaud's  arrival). 
In"  1918  Witek  resigned  as  concertmaster 
and  was  followed  for  one  season  by  Fredric 
Fradkin,  whose  appointment  was  notable 
in  view  of  his  American  birth.  The  stress 
connected  with  the  removal  of  Muck  in  1918 
led  to  a  reorganization  of  the  management 
of  the  Orchestra,  Major  Higginson  retiring 
from  active  direction,  though  without  ceasing 
his  hearty  support,  and  the  control  passed 
into  the  hands  of  a  strong  Board  of  Directors. 
In  1919  Major  Higginson  died.  It  is  com- 
monly understood  that  his  endowment  of  the 
Orchestra  amounts  to  about  $1,000,000. 
Since  1901  the  program-books  of  the  concerts 
have  been  prepared  by  Philip  Hale.  They 
form  an  extraordinary  library  of  historical 
and  critical  information,  set  forth  with  force 
and  much  literary  dexterity.  See  Howe, 
The  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra,  1914. 

BOSTONIANS,  THE,  were  a  troupe 
formed  in  1887  for  the  giving  of  light  opera. 
Its  leaders  were  Henry  C.  Barnabee,  Tom 
Karl  and  W.  H.  Macdonald,  and  the  company 
derived  many  of  its  members  and  its  initial 
prestige  from  the  previous  Boston  Ideal  Opera 
Company.  The  latter  troupe  had  set  a  fine 
standard  for  artistic  finish  and  the  new  com- 
pany carried  it  still  higher.  The  organization 
continued  for  about  twenty-five  years  with  re- 
markable success,  bringing  out  a  long  list  of 
graceful  or  comic  works  and  introducing  a  not- 
able succession  of  effective  singers.  See  Barna- 
bee, My  Wanderings,  and  also  the  r6sum6  of 
works  and  singers  in  The  Art  of  Music,  iv.  175-7.

%  BOUGHTON,  RUTLAND  (1878,  Eng- 
land), was  a  pupil  of  Stanford  at  the  Royal 
College  of  Music,  where  he  studied  in  1900-01. 
In  1904-11  he  taught  singing  at  the  Birming- 
ham School  of  Music.  When  the  World  War 
broke  out  he  tried  to  enlist,  but  was  declined 
at  first  for  physical  reasons.  In  the  belief 
that  artistic  effort  had  value  for  quickening 
national  spirit,  he  started  in  August,  1914,  a 
series  of  musico-dramatic  festivals  at  Glaston- 
bury  in  Somerset,  aiming  at  first  only  to  bring 
out  a  cycle  of  music-dramas  on  Arthurian 
subjects  by  the  late  Reginald  R.  Buckley  and 
himself.  In  spite  of  some  checks  and  inter- 
ruptions, the  enterprise  has  gone  on  and  ex- 
panded until  now  it  has  enthusiastic  support 
from  a  large  circle  of  musical  and  literary 
people  and  there  is  prospect  of  the  erection 
of  a  special  theater  for  the  plays.  Up  to  1919 
there  had  been  79  performances,  of  which 
47  were  operatic.  Five  were  premieres  of 
dramas  by  English  composers.  Boughton'a 
compositions  include  the  following: 

Stage-works  — 

'The  Immortal  Hour,'  choral  drama,  libretto  by 
Fiona  MacLeod. 

'The  Birth  of  Arthur,'  choral  drama,  libretto  by 
Buckley;  and  'The  Round  Table,'  choral

BOWMAN,  EDWARD  MORRIS  (July 
18,  1848,  Barnard,  Vt.  :  Aug.  27,  1913, 
Brooklyn),  was  a  graduate  of  St.  Lawrence 
University,  Canton,  N.  Y.  He  came  to  New 
York  in  1866  for  a  year's  study  with  William 
Mason  (piano)  and  J.  P.  Morgan  (organ  and 
theory).  In  1867  he  went  to  St.  Louis,  where 
for  three  years  he  was  organist  at  the  Union 
Methodist  Church  and  for  two  at  the  Second 
Presbyterian  Church.  In  1872-74  he  was  in 
Berlin  under  Bendel  in  piano,  Haupt  and 
Rohde  in  organ  and  Weitzmann  in  composi- 
tion, twice  going  to  Paris  in  summer  for  organ- 
lessons  with  Batiste.  Returning  to  St.  Louis, 
he  resumed  his  place  at  the  Second  Presby- 
terian Church,  taught  piano  and  organ,  and 
in  1877  published  an  English  version  of  Weitz- 
mann's  Manual  of  Musical  Theory,  which  was 
based  on  his  own  notes  of  Weitzmann's  teach- 
ing (from  this  a  German  version  was  made). 
For  a  time  in  1881  he  was  with  Guilmant  in 
Paris  and  also  worked  in  London  with  Mac- 
farren,  J.  F.  Bridge  and  Turpin.  He  was 
the  first  American  to  become  an  associate  of 
the  Royal  College  of  Organists.  Save  for 
this  year  abroad  he  was  organist  at  the  Second 
Baptist  Church  in  St.  Louis  from  1877  to  1887. 
In  1883  he  was  president  of  the  M.  T.  N.  A. 
(also  in  '84,  '93,  '94  and  1905).  In  1884  he 
was  the  organizer  and  till  1893  president  of  the 
American  College  of  Musicians,  which  did 
much  to  raise  standards  of  teaching.  In 
1887-94  he  was  organist  at  the  Peddie 
Memorial  Baptist  Church  in  Newark,  in 
1895-1906  at  the  Baptist  Temple  in  Brooklyn 
(with  a  noted  choir  of  200)  and  from  1906  at 
Calvary  Baptist  Church  in  New  York  (also 
with  large  choir  and  orchestra).  While  at 
Newark  (1891-95)  he  also  served  as  music- 
professor  at  Vassar  College  in  Poughkeepsie, 


following  Ritter.  In  1896  he  was  a  founder  of 
the  A.  G.  O.  He  was  not  only  a  superior 
organist,  but  had  marked  ability  as  a  teacher. 
His  forceful  personality  impressed  itself  upon 
music-education  in  many  ways.  [  R.5  ]

BOYLE,  GEORGE  FREDERICK  (June 
29,  1886,  Sydney,  Australia),  was  the  son  of 
music-teachers,  began  piano-lessons  at  five 
and  made  his  first  public  appearance  in  Sydney 
at  seven.  He  undertook  concert-tours  as 
pianist  at  fourteen,  continuing  thus  in  Australia, 
Tasmania  and  New  Zealand  for  five  years. 
He  then  went  to  Berlin  and  studied  for  a  tune 
with  Busoni.  His  first  recital-program  in 
Berlin  (March,  1908)  included  MacDowelTs 
'Keltic'  Sonata  (first  time  there).  He  con- 
certized  in  Holland  from  October,  1906,  and  in 
London  from  June,  1908,  being  associated  in 
Holland  with  Emma  Nevada  and  in  Great 
Britain  with  Pauline  Donalda  and  Maud 
Allan.  In  1908  he  played  at  the  reception  to 
the  King  and  Queen  of  Spain,  and  in  1910 
appeared  with  the  Queen's  Hall  Orchestra 
under  Wood.  In  1910  he  came  to  America  as 
teacher  of  piano  at  the  Peabody  Conservatory 
in  Baltimore.  While  thus  busy  with  teaching 
he  has  found  opportunity  to  give  recitals  not 
only  in  Baltimore,  but  in  New  York,  Boston 
and  other  cities.  He  has  made  several  tours 
in  the  South.  His  compositions  include 

Concerto  in  D  minor,  for  piano  and  orchestra 
(Schirmer),  given  at  the  Worcester  Festival  of 
1911,  in  New  York  in  1912  and  elsewhere,  with 
Hutcheson  as  pianist,  as  well  as  in  England  and 
Australia.

BOYLSTON  CLUB,  THE,  of  Boston,  was 
organized  in  1873  as  a  choral  society  of  about 
200  voices.  In  1875-93  it  was  led  by  George 
L.  Osgood  and  speedily  achieved  a  fine  reputa- 
tion for  artistic  efficiency  in  interpreting 
secular  works.  After  1890  it  was  known  as 
the  Boston  Singers'  Society.

BRADBURY 


BRESSLER-GIANOLI 


BRADBURY,  WILLIAM  BATCHELDER 
(Oct.  6,  1816,  York,  Me.  :  Jan.  7,  1868, 
Montclair,  N.  J.),  from  1830  had  lessons  on 
the  piano  and  organ  in  Boston  from  Sumner 
Hill  and  Lowell  Mason  and  attended  the 
latter's  singing-classes.  From  1834  he  served 
as  church-organist.  In  1836  Mason  sent 
him  to  Machias,  Me.,  to  lead  a  class  and  later 
to  St.  John's,  N.  B.  In  1840  he  was  organist 
in  Brooklyn,  and  from  1841  at  the  Baptist 
Tabernacle  in  New  York,  where  and  in  other 
churches  he  organized  popular  singing-classes. 
These  latter  led  to  annual  'festivals,'  held  at 
the  Broadway  Tabernacle,  and  hastened  the 
recognition  of  music  in  the  public  schools. 
In  1841  he  published  his  first  book,  The  Young 
Choir,  assisted  by  Hastings,  with  whom  in 
1844-51  he  collaborated  upon  four  others  of 
more  importance.  In  1847-49  he  was  in  Eng- 
land and  Germany,  studying  at  Leipzig  with 
Hauptmann,  Moscheles,  Ernst  Wenzel  and 
Bohme,  besides  investigating  methods  of 
popular  instruction.  After  his  return  to  New 
York  he  was  active  in  classes  and  '  conventions ' 
and  in  editing  song-books,  sacred  and  secular. 
In  1854,  with  his  brother  E.  G.  Bradbury, 
he  went  into  the  business  of  piano-making 
with  success.  Altogether,  he  was  author  or 
editor  of  about  sixty  collections  of  popular  music. 
Among  these,  The  Jubilee  (1858)  had  a  sale 
of  over  200,000  copies,  and  Fresh  Laurels  and 
the  'Golden'  series  had  even  greater  popu- 
larity. Of  his  two  Sunday-school  cantatas, 
'Daniel'  (1853)  and  'Esther'  (1856),  the  lat- 
ter for  many  years  had  an  enormous  vogue. 
Many  of  his  simple,  but  melodious  tunes  are 
still  in  wide  use.  See  TUNE-BOOKS,  1841,  and 
under  Hastings;  also  Hall,  Gospel  Song  and 
Hymn  Writers,  pp.  23-7.  [  R.3  ] 

BRADBURY  PIANO  CO.,  THE,  of  New 
York,  is  the  present  name  of  the  business 
established  in  1854  by  E.  G.  and  W.  B.  Brad- 
bury. Its  development  on  modern  lines  was 
due  to  the  skill  and  enterprise  of  F.  G.  Smith, 
who  in  1861  helped  perfect  the  'Bradbury' 
piano  and  in  1867  became  W.  B.  Bradbury's 
successor  as  head  of  the  firm.  It  has  been 
continued  under  F.  G.  Smith,  2nd,  and  F.  G. 
Smith,  3rd.  Since  1917  William  Knabe,  3rd 
(b.  1872),  has  been  general  manager.

is  the  publishing-house  founded  in  1836  by 
Silas  Brainard  and  taken  over  in  1871  by  his 
sons  Charles  S.  and  Henry  M.  Brainard.  In 
1876  the  firm  erected  a  large  building  of  its 
own.  They  also  have  a  house  in  Chicago. 


BRANDEIS,  FREDERIC  (July  5,  1835, 
Vienna,  Austria  :  May  14,  1899,  New  York), 
was  early  a  pupil  of  Czerny  and  Fischhof 
(piano)  and  of  Rufinatscha  (composition). 
He  was  brought  to  America  at  fourteen  and 
studied  with  Meyerhofer  in  New  York,  making 
his  debut  as  pianist  in  New  York  in  1851. 
He  toured  with  concert-companies,  like  that 
of  Wallace,  but  finally  settled  in  New  York 
as  teacher  and  composer.  He  was  organist 
of  the  (R.  C.)  Cathedral  in  Brooklyn  and  of 
one  of  the  large  New  York  synagogues.  His 
larger  works,  though  performed,  are  un- 
published (see  list  in  Baker,  Diet,  of  Musicians,

settled  in  New  York  in  1640.  She  was  a 
pupil  at  the  Chicago  Musical  College  in  1897, 
studying  piano  with  Ziegfeld  and  Friedheim 
and  composition  with  Borowski.  On  graduat- 
ing in  1899  she  won  a  medal  for  composition. 
A  further  year  of  piano-study  with  Hans  von 
Schiller  brought  another  medal  and  appoint- 
ment in  the  faculty  of  the  College,  which  she 
held  for  seven  years.  In  1904  she  studied 
piano  with  Ganz,  and  in  1905  composition, 
especially  song- writing,  with  Von  Fielitz. 
In  1907-09  she  was  piano-teacher  at  the 
Whitman  Conservatory  in  Walla  Walla,  Wash. 
Going  to  Berlin  in  1909  she  resumed  work 
under  Ganz,  with  composition  under  Hum- 
perdinck.  In  1910  she  married  John  Ferguson 
Tenney  of  New  York  and  has  since  lived  there. 
Her  songs  have  been  widely  sung.  About 
seventy  are  published  (Schirmer,  Ditson, 
Schmidt),  and  the  following  have  won  special 
favor:  'The  Morning  Wind,'  'I  bring  you 
heartsease,'  'Krishna,'  'Hail,  ye  tyme  of 
holie-dayes,'  'Dear  little  hut  by  the  rice- 
fields,'  'There's  a  woman  like  a  dewdrop,' 
'Three  Mystic  Ships,'  'Boot  and  Saddle,' 
'Dear  is  my  inlaid  sword,'  and  'Just  in  the 
hush.'  She  has  also  four  cycles  for  solo 
voice,  many  part-songs  for  women's  or  mixed 
voices  and  piano-  and  violin-pieces.  A  'Fes- 
tival Prelude'  for  orchestra  was  composed  for 
the  MacDowell  Festival  at  Peterboro,  N.  H., 
in  1914.  [  R.9  ]

BREWER,  JOHN  HYATT  (Jan.  18,  1856, 
Brooklyn),  for  seven  years  from  1864  was  boy- 
soprano  in  various  Brooklyn  and  New  York 
churches,  meanwhile  taking  lessons  on  the 
piano  and  the  organ.  From  1871  he  was 
organist  for  two  years  at  the  City  Park  Chapel 
in  Brooklyn,  for  four  at  the  Church  of  the 
Messiah  (P.  E.) ,  for  four  at  the  Clinton  Avenue 
Church  (Congregational),  and  finally,  since 
1881,  at  the  Lafayette  Avenue  Church  (Presby- 
terian). Besides  general  teaching  and  some 
recital-work,  he  has  been  active  as  conductor, 
having  been  leader  of  the  Cecilia  Society, 
the  Flatbush  Glee  Club,  the  Hoadley  Amateur 
Orchestra,  and  especially  the  Apollo  Club 
(all  in  Brooklyn).  He  was  one  of  the  original 
members  of  the  Apollo  Club  in  1877  and 
during  the  twenty-five  years  of  Buck's 
leadership  its  only  accompanist.  When  Buck 
retired  in  1903  he  became  his  successor,  con- 
tinuing ever  since.  He  was  a  charter-member 
of  the  music-section  of  the  Brooklyn  Institute, 
its  secretary  from  the  first  and  since  1906  one 
of  its  fellows.  He  was  a  founder  of  the  A.  G. 
O.,  fellow  since  1902  and  in  1905-08  warden. 
In  1914  he  was  made  Mus.D.  by  New  York 
University.  In  his  youth  he  was  for  ten 
years  (1878-88)  a  pupil  of  Buck  in  composi- 
tion. The  influence  of  his  teacher  may  doubt- 
less be  seen  in  the  following  list  of  works : 

String-Quartet  in  D  minor. 

Suite  in  G  minor,  for  orchestra  —  Prelude,  Bar- 
carolle, Intermezzo,  Peasants'  Dance  and  Finale 

(1891).

prize). 
'Bedouin  Love-Song,'  a  cappella  chorus  for  mixed 

voices  (Chicago  Madrigal  Club  prize,  1906). 

The  total  number  of  his  compositions  is 
about  200.  [  R.6  ] 

'BRIDE  OF  MESSINA,  THE.'  An  opera 
by  J.  H.  Bonawitz,  brought  out  at  Philadel- 
phia in  1874. 

ABRIDGE,  FRANK  (Feb.  26,  1879, 
Brighton,  England).  See  article  in  Vol.  v. 
619.  In  1910-11  he  conducted  the  Brema 
opera-season  at  the  Savoy  Theatre  and  in 
1913  the  Beecham  season  at  Covent  Garden. 
Additional  works  are  a  'Dance-Rhapsody' 
for  orchestra  (1909,  Liverpool  Festival),  the 
orchestral  suite  'The  Sea'  (1912),  a  'Dance 


Poem'  for  orchestra  (1914,  Philharmonic)  and

BRISTOW,  GEORGE  FREDERICK  (Dec. 
19,  1825,  Brooklyn  :  Dec.  13,  1898,  New 
York),  at  eleven  was  playing  the  violin  at  the 
Olympic  Theatre  in  New  York.  From  1842 
for  over  thirty  years  he  was  a  first  violinist  in 
the  New  York  Philharmonic  Society,  He 
was  conductor  of  the  Harmonic  Society  in 
1851-62,  a  church-organist  and  from  1854 
until  his  death  a  visiting-teacher  in  the  New 
York  public  schools.  W.  J.  Henderson  has 
described  him  as  'a  most  earnest  man,  filled 
with  a  real  love  for  his  art,  and  self-sacrificing 
in  labor  for  its  benefit'  and  as  'one  of  the 
earliest  of  the  long-suffering  band  of  American 
composers,  who  will  be  remembered  always  as 
one  who  strove  to  push  American  music  into 
artistic  prominence.'  His  chief  work  was  the 
opera  'Rip  Van  Winkle,'  performed  in  New 
York  on  Sept.  27,  1850,  and  again  in  1870.  An 
overture  was  played  by  the  Philharmonic 
Society  on  Jan.  9,  1847,  his  second  symphony 
on  Mar.  1,  1856,  his  third  symphony  on  Mar. 
26,  1859,  and  his  'Arcadian'  symphony  on 
Feb.  14,  1874.  He  also  wrote  two  oratorios, 
'Praise  to  God'  (1860)  and  'Daniel'  (1867); 
two  cantatas,  'The  Great  Republic'  (1880) 
and  '  Niagara ' ;  an  unfinished  opera,  '  Colum- 
bus ' ;  two  symphonies  besides  those  noted 
above ;  two  string-quartets ;  and  many  smaller 
works.  [  R.4  ]

BROCKWAY,  HOWARD  A.  (Nov.  22, 
1870,  Brooklyn),  after  beginning  the  piano 
with  Kortheuer,  from  1890  spent  five  years 
at  Berlin  with  Earth  (piano)  and  Boise  (com- 
position). In  February,  1895,  he  gave  a 
concert  there  which  included,  besides  piano- 
solos,  his  Symphony  in  D  and  his  violin- 
sonata,  making  the  impression  of  unusual 
maturity.  From  1895  he  worked  in  New  York 
as  pianist  and  teacher  and  in  1903-10  was  in 
the  faculty  of  the  Peabody  Conservatory  in 
Baltimore,  then  returning  to  New  York.  In 
1910  he  was  the  judge  of  the  Earl  Grey  Com- 
petition at  Toronto.  Later  he  joined  Lorraine 
Wyman  in  collecting  the  folk-songs  of  the 
Kentucky  highlands,  published  as  Lonesome 
Tunes,  1916  (Gray).  His  works  include  the 
following : 

Symphony  in  D,  op.  12  (1895),  given  by  Boston 

Symphony  Orchestra  in  1907. 
Ballade  in  G  minor,  op.  11,  for  orchestra  (1895).

BROOKFIELD  SUMMER  SCHOOL  OF 
SINGING,  THE,  Brookfield  Center,  Conn., 
was  founded  in  1900  by  Herbert  W.  Greene, 
who  has  continued  at  its  head  ever  since.  The 
enterprise  has  developed  into  a  significant 
colony  of  musical  workers  and  students. 

BROOKLYN  ORATORIO  SOCIETY, 
THE,  was  organized  in  1893  by  Walter  Henry 
Hall,  who  has  remained  its  conductor  to  the 
present  time.  Adopting  a  high  standard 
from  the  first,  it  speedily  secured  recognition. 
During  the  first  twenty  years  two  concerts 
were  given  annually  in  the  Academy  of  Music, 
the  only  adequate  concert-hall  in  the  city. 
When  this  was  burnt,  for  the  season  of  1904- 
05  the  concerts  were  transferred  to  Carnegie 
Hall  in  New  York,  but  later  resumed  in  the 
superior  new  Academy  of  Music  in  Brooklyn. 
The  Society  in  its  early  days  was  much  aided 
by  the  interest  of  Howard  W.  Connelly,  who 
had  been  secretary  of  Thomas'  Brooklyn 
choral  society,  and  by  the  adoption  of  its  con- 
certs into  the  system  of  entertainments  under 
the  Brooklyn  Institute  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 
In  1912  Mr.  Hall  became  professor  at 
Columbia,  and  the  Society  was  made  one  of 
the  two  sections  in  the  University  Chorus, 
assisting  there  on  festival  occasions,  but  with 
entire  freedom  for  its  own  local  concerts. 
Besides  the  more  usual  oratorios,  the  Society 
has  to  its  credit  Handel's  'Samson'  and  'Acis 
and  Galatea,'  Bach's  St.  Matthew  Passion, 
Liszt's  'St.  Elizabeth,'  the  second  perform- 
ance in  America  of  Henschel's  Requiem 
(Metropolitan  Opera  House),  Elgar's  'Black 
Knight'  and  'Banner  of  St.  George,'  and  the 
first  performances  in  America  of  Elgar's 
'King  Olaf,'  'The  Music-Makers,'  'Spirit  of 
England'  and  Harty's  'Mystic  Trumpeter.' 
Two  Brooklyn  composers  have  also  been  repre- 
sented, Buck  by  'The  Light  of  Asia'  and 


'The  Golden  Legend,'  and  Shelley  by  his 
'  Vexilla  Regis.'

BROOME,  WILLIAM  EDWARD  (1868, 
Manchester,  England),  had^his  early  training 
from  Roland  Rogers  of  Bangor  Cathedral ; 
in  theory  he  is  largely  self-taught.  He  was 
assistant-organist  of  Bangor  Cathedral  and 
of  St.  Mary's  at  Bangor  in  1883-90.  He 
conducted  the  Penrhyn  Male  Chorus,  which 
visited  the  Chicago  Eisteddfod  in  1893,  and 
gave  many  organ-recitals  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada.  He  located  first  in  Brockville, 
Ont.,  moved  to  Montreal  in  1894,  and  in  1905 
to  Toronto,  where  in  1907  he  succeeded  Vogt 
at  the  Jarvis  Baptist  Church.  In  1910  he 
organized  the  Toronto  Oratorio  Society, 
which  has  given  important  works  with  the 
assistance  of  the  New  York  Philharmonic, 
Russian  Symphony  and  Toronto  Symphony 
Orchestras.  He  holds  the  degree  of  Mus.D. 
(by  examination)  from  Toronto  University. 
He  has  officiated  as  judge  in  the  choral  con- 
tests at  the  Chicago,  Buffalo  and  St.  Louis 
Expositions  and  in  many  other  cities.  He  has 
published  about  100  works  (chiefly  Schirmer, 
Ditson,  Boston  Music  Co.,  Schmidt).  These 
include  the  short  cantata  'A  Hymn  of  Trust,' 
for  tenor  solo,  chorus  and  orchestra  (Schirmer) ; 
the  dramatic  chorus  'Sea-Song,'  with  orchestra 
(Ditson) ;  many  anthems  and  a  series  of 
Opening  Sentences  from  the  Psalms.  He 
was  the  recipient  in  Wales  of  eight  national 
prizes  for  composition,  the  most  important 
being  for  the  opera  'The  Siege  of  Cardiff 
Castle,'  when  Bridge,  Parry  and  Mackenzie 
were  the  judges.  [  R.8  ]

BROWN,  EDDY  (July  15,  1895,  Chicago), 
whose  father  was  an  Austrian  Pole  and  his 
mother  a  Russian,  began  violin-study  at  an 
early  age  and  continued  with  Hubay  in  Buda- 
pest, receiving  the  artists'  diploma  from  the 
Royal  Conservatory  when  only  twelve.  He 
then  went  to  Petrograd  and  studied  with  Auer. 
In  1910  he  made  a  sensational  debut  in  Berlin, 
and  appearances  with  many  European  orches- 
tras followed,  under  conductors  like  Nikisch, 
Mengelberg,  Safonov  and  Steinbach.  Since 
1916  he  has  toured  in  America,  playing  with 
all  the  large  orchestras  and  appearing  in  every 
important  city.  He  has  composed  much  for 
violin  and  piano,  besides  many  songs,  and 
has  made  numerous  arrangements  for  violin.

BROWN  COLLECTION  OF  MUSICAL 
INSTRUMENTS,  THE,  at  the  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art  in  New  York,  one  of  the  largest 
in  the  world,  was  gathered  mainly  by  Mary  E. 
(Adams)  Brown  (d.  1917),  wife  of  John  Crosby 
Brown,  who  for  many  years  was  at  the  head 
of  the  banking-firm  of  Brown  Brothers.  In 
1884  Mrs.  Brown,  having  procured  a  few 
Italian  instruments  for  decorative  purposes, 
became  interested  in  their  historic  and  scientific 
value  and  became  a  zealous  collector.  In 
1889  she  offered  the  275  specimens  that  she 
then  had  to  the  Metropolitan  Museum,  re- 
taining the  right  to  increase  and  supervise  the 
Collection  during  her  lifetime.  This  offer  was 
accepted,  and  a  small  but  interesting  group 
of  instruments,  mostly  given  by  Joseph  Drexel, 
was  combined  with  her  donation.  The  growth 
of  the  Collection  from  that  time  was  rapid 
and  so  wisely  directed  that  it  soon  became 
one  of  the  remarkable  features  in  the  Museum. 
In  1893  adequate  rooms  for  its  display  were 
assigned  in  the  new  north  wing,  the  number 
of  items  then  being  about  700.  In  1899  this 
number  had  increased  to  over  2000,  in  1906  to 
over  3500,  and  is  now  about  3700. 

In  its  present  arrangement,  the  Collection 
offers  opportunity  for  study  in  three  ways : 
(a)  ethnographically,  by  countries  or  races; 
(&)  historically,  by  periods  or  stages;  (c) 
systematically  or  analytically,  by  classes  and 
types.  In  each  series,  where  actual  specimens 
of  importance  are  not  available,  they  are 
represented  by  reproductions  or  photographs. 
Great  pains  is  taken  to  facilitate  intelligent 
study  by  explanatory  labels,  diagrams  and 
other  illustrations,  collateral  information  and 


book-references.  A  notable  extension  of  the 
Collection  is  the  series  of  engraved,  etched 
or  lithographed  portraits  of  composers,  per- 
formers and  writers  —  numbering  nearly  1000 
specimens  —  which  has  developed  from  initial 
gifts  by  Thatcher  M.  Adams  in  1899  and  Mrs. 
Charles  B.  Foote  soon  after.  The  manufacture 
of  many  leading  modern  instruments  is  illus- 
trated by  analytic  models  of  parts  in  process 
of  formation.  Because  of  its  comprehensive- 
ness and  system  the  Collection  is  not  only 
valuable  for  musical  history,  but  also  signifi- 
cant for  the  ethnologist,  the  student  of  social 
manners  and  implements,  and  inquirers  about 
matters  so  diverse  as  the  arts  of  decoration 
and  the  science  of  acoustics.  Because  of  it3 
size,  and  especially  because  displayed  with 
unparalleled  clearness  and  convenience,  it 
has  but  one  or  two  rivals  anywhere. 

Though  exceedingly  rich  in  other  directions, 
the  Collection  is  noted  for  its  rare  specimens 
of  keyboard-instruments.  Chief  among  these 
is  the  Cristofori  piano  of  1720,  the  earliest  of 
the  two  known  examples  of  his  own  handiwork. 
The  elegant  double  spinet  of  Grovellus  (1600) 
is  one  of  but  three  known  instances  of  this 
peculiar  type.  Of  harpsichords  there  are  two 
fine  specimens  with  two  banks,  from  the  17th 
and  the  18th  centuries  respectively,  and  one 
with  three  banks,  made  by  Sodi  in  1779. 
Curious  and  historic  is  the  claviorganum 
(harpsichord  and  organ  combined),  originally 
made  in  1712  for  the  Elector  of  Hanover, 
but  its  harpsichord  division  remodeled  into  a 
piano,  which  was  once  in  Carl  Engel's  famous 
collection.  In  1911  the  Museum  received 
from  Bernardus  Boekelman  a  Ruckers  virginal 
of  1622  and  a  Pasquino  Querci  spinet. 

BROWN  MUSICAL  LIBRARY,  THE 
ALLEN  A.,  in  the  Boston  Public  Library,  was 
presented  in  1894  by  Allen  A.  Brown,  a  Boston 
business-man.  It  then  contained  about  7000 
volumes.  By  further  gifts  from  Mr.  Brown 
and  others  and  by  purchases  it  was  increased 
to  about  11,000  in  1910,  and  is  now  reckoned 
at  about  15,000.  It  is  rich  in  many  different 
directions  —  in  scores  of  every  sort,  instru- 
mental and  vocal,  in  standard  critical  editions 
of  the  complete  works  of  great  composers,  in 
historical,  theoretical  and  critical  works 
about  music,  in  unique  collections  of  pro- 
grams, etc.  The  collection  is  located  in  a 
separate  section  of  the  Library,  and  is  for 
reference  only.  See  Vol.  ii.  717,  and  paper  by

organ  in  the  Medinah  Temple  in  Chicago, 
at  its  opening  playing  Borowski's  'Allegro  de

time,  the  composer  conducting.  At  Atlanta 
he  conducted  the  Symphony  Orchestra  and  the 
Atlanta  Festival  for  three  years.  In  1914  he 
was  elected  to  the  Royal  Philharmonic  Acad- 
emy in  Rome,  and  in  1916-19  was  dean  of

BRUNE,  ADOLF  GERHARD  (June  21, 
1870,  Baccum,  Germany),  first  studied  with 
his  father.  From  1887  he  took  the  regular 
course  at  the  Teachers'  Seminary  in  Osna- 
briick,  and  in  addition  kept  up  studies  in  piano, 
violin  and  clarinet.  In  1889-94  he  was 
organist  at  Peoria,  111.  Since  1894  he  has  been 
in  Chicago,  from  1898  to  1917  as  teacher  of 
piano  and  theory  at  the  Chicago  Musical 
College.  At  the  start  of  his  Chicago  career  he 
worked  with  Liebling  and  he  also  had  advice 
from  Ziehn  in  composition.  Concert-playing 
was  given  up  in  favor  of  teaching  and  com- 
posing. His  list  of  compositions  now  extends 
to  op.  76.  The  Ballade  in  E  minor  for  piano, 
op.  2,  and  the  Ballade  in  F,  op.  11,  are 
published  by  Leuckart,  while  Schott  &  Sons 
have  published  the  Sonata  in  D  minor  for 
piano  and  violin,  which  has  been  praised  for 
harmonic  richness  and  contrapuntal  skill. 
The  string-quartet,  op.  5,  has  been  played 
by  the  Spiering,£Philadelphia  and  Flonzaley 
Quartets,  and  movements  from  the  string- 
quartets,  opp.  26  and  38,  by  the  Chicago  and 
Kneisel  Quartets.  The  '  Lied  des  Singschwans, ' 
a  symphonic  poem  for  large  orchestra,  has 
been  given  by  the  Chicago  Orchestra  under 
Stock;  'Ein  Dammerungsbild '  was  intro- 
duced by  Kunwald  and  the  Cincinnati  Orches- 
tra in  1917;  and  the  'Overture  to  a  Drama' 
was  brought  forward  by  Stock.  Many  of 
his  songs,  organ-pieces  and  choral  works 
have  been  heard  in  public,  though  not  yet 
published.  A  fuller  list  of  works  is  given  in 
Baker,  Diet,  of  Musicians,  p.  124.  [  R.7  ]

BUCK,  DUDLEY  (Mar.  10,  1839,  Hart- 
ford, Conn.  :  Oct.  6,  1909,  Orange,  N.  J.). 
See  article  in  Vol.  i.  413^4.  Buck's  career, 
becoming  established  just  when  and  as  it  did, 
exerted  an  important  formative  impression 
on  American  development.  He  had  solid  mu- 
sicianship as  organist  and  composer,  com- 
bined with  the  wisdom  and  tact  required 
to  win  and  hold  popular  appreciation. 
Much  of  his  early  work  as  organ-recitalist 
was  educational  in  much  the  same  way 
as  that  of  Thomas  when  on  his  early  or- 
chestral tours.  For  a  long  time  he  exerted  a 
profound  influence  upon  choir-music,  espe- 
cially as  the  American  exaltation  of  the  quartet- 
choir  fell  in  with  his  own  predilections.  In 
this  field  what  he  set  out  to  do  was  extraor- 
dinarily well  done.  Regarding  his  choral 
works  it  is  fair  to  point  out  his  fine  sympathy

with  his  texts  and  the  versatility  with  which 
he  secured  expression.  He  was  the  direct  in- 
spiration of  many  pupils,  but  he  was  also  an 
indirect  educator  of  the  public  taste.  [  R.5  ]

BULL,  OLE  BORNEMANN  (Feb.  5,  1810, 
Bergen,  Norway  :  Aug.  17,  1880,  Lysoen, 
near  Bergen).  See  article  in  Vol.  i.  418-9.  His 
first  concert  in  America  was  on  Nov.  23,  1843. 
The  first  tour  included  Havana  as  well  as  the 
eastern  United  States.  It  lasted  nearly  two 
years,  the  concerts  numbered  over  200  and  the 
receipts  were  about  $400,000.  His  second 
trip  was  in  1852,  and  it  was  then  that  he  made 
the  ill-fated  purchase  of  the  tract  in  Pennsyl- 
vania which  he  named  Oleana,  hoping  'to 
found  a  New  Norway,  consecrated  to  freedom, 
baptized  in  independence,  and  protected  by 
the  mighty  flag  of  the  Union.'  On  this  trip 
he  went  to  California,  via  Panama,  and 
his  fellow-travelers  were  Adelina  Patti  and 
Maurice  Strakosch.  For  about  two  months 
early  in  1855  he  was  lessee  of  the  Academy  of 
Music  in  New  York,  and  offered  a  prize  of 
$1000  for  'a  grand  opera  by  an  American  com- 
poser on  an  American  subject.'  After  the 
collapse  of  the  colony-scheme  and  the  ensuing 
litigation  he  returned  to  Bergen  in  the  autumn 
of  1857.  In  1867  came  his  third  trip,  in  which 
the  first  concert  was  in  Chicago.  In  1868  he 
married  Sara  Chapman  Thorp  in  Wisconsin. 
[She  wrote  his  biography,  Ole  Bull  —  A 
Memoir,  1883,  and  died  on  Jan.  18,  1911,  at 
Cambridge,  Mass.]  After  spending  the  sum- 
mer of  1872  in  Norway,  in  the  autumn  he  re- 
turned for  the  fourth  tune.  This  trip  was 
but  one  year  in  duration.  His  last  tour  was 
in  1879-80,  with  Emma  Thursby.  See 
biography  by  Vik,  Bergen,  1890.  [  R.4  ]

was  first  a  student  of  chemistry  at  the 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology,  but 
left  to  study  music  with  Rheinberger  at 
Munich  in  1888-92.  Returning  to  Boston, 
he  lived  there  as  teacher  of  harmony  and 
counterpoint  and  composer.  Of  his  forty 
published  songs  the  best-known  are  'In  the 
Greenwood,'  'A  June  Lullaby,'  'From  Dreams 
of  Thee,'  'At  Daybreak,'  'Hymn  of  Pan,'

BURLEIGH,  CECIL  (Apr.  17,  1885,  Wyo- 
ming, N.  Y.),  after  preliminary  violin- 
study  with  L.  E.  Hersey  in  Bloomington, 
111.,  in  1903-05  was  in  Berlin,  studying  violin 
with  Witek  and  composition  with  Leichtentritt. 
Two  years  were  then  spent  in  Chicago,  where 
his  teachers  were  Sauret  and  Herrmann  for 
violin  and  Borowski  for  composition.  Then 
came  two  years  of  concert-work  and  two  of 
violin-teaching  at  the  Western  Institute  of 
Music  and  Dramatic  Art  in  Denver.  He 
taught  violin  and  theory  at  Morningside 
College  in  Sioux  City,  la.,  in  1911-14,  and 
at  the  State  University  at  Missoula,  Mont.,  in 
1914-19.  In  the  summer  of  1919  he  was 
with  Auer  and  in  the  autumn  located  in  New 
York  as  player  and  teacher.  His  interest  in 
composition  began  about  1901,  but  was  not 
specially  manifest  until  about  1910.  Since  then 
he  has  been  diligent  and  his  works  have  met 
with  unusual  success.  His  violin-concerto 
in  E  minor  (prize  for  a  violin-concerto  by  an 
American,  Chicago,  1916)  he  played  with 
the  American  Symphony  Orchestra  in  Chicago 
on  Mar.  2,  1916,  and  later  with  the  Minneap- 
olis, Milwaukee  and  other  Orchestras,  besides 
being  brought  forward  by  Maud  Powell.  The

BURTON,  FREDERICK  RUSSELL  (Feb. 
23,  1861,  Jonesville,  Mich.  :  Sept.  30,  1909, 
Lake  Hopatcong,  N.  J.),  was  graduated  from 
Harvard  in  1882  summa  cum  laude  and  with 
highest  honors  in  music.  While  there  he 
wrote  music  for  'Hiawatha,'  a  favorite  legend 
with  him  from  childhood.  This  setting,  no- 
table as  one  of  the  first  attempts  to  use  In- 
dian themes,  was  sung  at  a  glee-club  concert 
in  1882,  completed  as  a  dramatic  cantata  and 
published  in  1898.  He  undertook  an  intimate 
study  of  Indian  music  in  Canada  and  the 
United  States,  spending  much  of  his  tune  and 
means,  and  living  among  the  Indians  for  long 
periods.  In  1903  he  published  Songs  of  the 
Ojibway  Indians,  later  expanded  into  the 
masterly  treatise  American  Primitive  Music 
(containing  28  Ojibway  songs)  and  pub- 
lished in  1909,  just  after  his  death.  In  1896 
he  organized  and  conducted  a  choral  society 
at  Yonkers,  N.  Y.  For  some  years  he  wrote 
musical  criticisms  for  the  New  York  'Sun.' 
Other  compositions  are  'The  Legend  of 
Sleepy  Hollow'  (1900),  an  'Inauguration  Ode' 
(1901)  for  the  second  inauguration  of  Presi- 
dent McKinley,  and  various  songs  and  choruses. 
He  also  wrote  the  novels  The  Song  and  the 
Singer,  Her  Wedding  Interlude,  Shifting  Sands, 
and  Strongheart.  [  R.7  ] 

BUSCH,  CARL  (Mar.  29,  1862,  Bjerre, 
Denmark),  first  entered  the  University  of 
Copenhagen  as  a  law-student,  but  the  appeal 
of  music  soon  led  to  study  with  Olavesen, 
Krugel  and  Langgaard  and  then  to  taking 
violin  with  Tofte  at  the  Conservatory,  piano 
with  Bondesen  and  theory  with  Hartmann 
and  Gade.  During  a  three  years'  course  he 
played  under  Gade  in  the  Musical  Society, 
Svendsen  in  the  Philharmonic  and  Dahl  in  the 
Tivoli  Orchestra.  By  way  of  Brussels,  in 
1886  he  went  to  Paris,  playing  and  studying 
under  Godard.  In  1887  he  came  to  Kansas 
City,  where  for  over  thirty  years  he  has  con- 
ferred prestige  upon  the  city  by  many  useful 
undertakings.  He  formed  the  Orchestral 
Society  and  conducted  it  for  five  years,  and 
its  successor,  the  Philharmonic,  which  em- 
phasized Scandinavian  works  in  a  long  series 
of  Sunday  concerts.  Several  festivals  were 


under  his  direction.  Since  1912  he  has  led  the 
Symphony  Orchestra,  and  is  active  in  choral 
and  church-music.  As  guest-conductor  he  has 
given  his  own  works  with  various  American 
orchestras,  and  also  in  Leipzig,  Dresden  and 
Copenhagen.  He  is  a  naturalized  citizen  here, 
but  was  knighted  in  1912  by  the  Danish  gov- 
ernment in  recognition  of  his  services  to  Scan- 
dinavian music.  As  composer  he  has  become 
widely  known.  His  list  of  works  includes 

'The   Passing  of  Arthur,'   a  symphonic  prologue 

after  Tennyson  (Breitkopf). 

'Minnehaha's  Vision,'  a  symphonic  poem  (Ditson). 
'Elegy,'  for  string-orchestra  (Breitkopf).

Busch  is  a  Longfellow  enthusiast  and  has 
set  many  of  his  poems.  He  has  also  delved 
much  into  Negro  and  Indian  music,  as  shown 
by  themes  in  his  suites,  songs  and  other  works.

CADMAN,  CHARLES  WAKEFIELD 
(Dec.  24,  1881,  Johnstown,  Pa.),  acquired  his 
musical  education  entirely  in  Pittsburgh,  with 
Edwin  Walker,  Leo  Oehmler,  W.  K.  Steiner 
and  Luigi  von  Kunits.  In  1904-10  Paur 
gave  him  valuable  assistance.  Aside  from 
composition,  he  was  engaged  in  piano-teaching, 
writing  criticisms  for  the  'Dispatch'  and  as 
organist  at  the  East  Liberty  Presbyterian 
Church  till  1910,  when  he  removed  to  Los 
Angeles,  where  he  has  been  busy  with  com- 
posing and  lecture-recitals.  His  well-known 
interest  in  the  music  of  the  American  Indians 
dates  from  1906,  when  he  first  came  to  know 
the  ethnological  studies  of  Miss  Fletcher 
and  La  Flesche.  The  results  of  his  early  ex- 
periments were  embodied  in  four  'American 
Indian  Songs,'  op.  45  (1908),  of  which  'The 
Land  of  the  Sky-blue  Water'  was  made 
popular  by  Nordica.  He  spent  the  summer 
of  1909  on  the  Omaha  and  Winnebago  Reser- 
vations with  La  Flesche,  gathering  material 
by  phonograph-records  and  otherwise.  An 
immediate  result  was  the  'American  Indian 
Music-Talk,'  which  he  has  given  often  in 
America,  as  well  as  in  Paris  and  London  in 
1910.  In  recent  years  the  Indian  mezzo- 
soprano  Princess  Tsianina  Redfeather  has 
acted  as  his  vocal  illustrator.  The  culmina- 
tion of  his  use  of  Indian  themes  is  found  in 
the  three-act  opera  'The  Land  of  Misty 
Water'  (or  'Daoma'),  begun  in  Pittsburgh 
in  1909  and  finished  in  Colorado  in  1912, 
libretto  by  La  Flesche  and  Mrs.  Eberhart; 
the  opera  '  Shanewis '  (or '  The  Robin-Woman ') , 
libretto  by  Mrs.  Eberhart ;  and  the  '  Thunder- 
bird'  orchestral  suite,  based  on  Blackfeet 
Indian  melodies.  The  last  has  been  played 
by  the  Russian,  Kansas  City  and  Los  Angeles 
Orchestras,  and  is  to  be  published  by  Boosey. 
His  first  opera  has  not  yet  been  performed, 
but  'Shanewis'  was  given  five  times  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  1918  and  three 
tunes  in  1919.  Of  it  Finck  said  in  the  'Eve- 
ning Post,'  'At  last  the  Metropolitan  has  a 
novelty  of  American  origin  which  is  worth 
preserving  for  future  seasons'  ;  Henderson 
in  the  'Sun,'  '  He  has  shown  greater  command 
in  the  technic  of  opera  than  any  of  his  pre- 


150 


decessors  at  this  opera-house';  and  Chase 
in  the  'Times,'  'A  more  concise,  telling  series 
of  incidents  has  not  been  seen  nor  heard  in 
grand  opera.'  His  theories  about  using 
Indian  themes  are  thus  stated  in  an  article 
in  'The  Musical  Quarterly,'  July,  1915 : 

'Only  one-fifth  of  all  Indian  thematic  material  ia 
valuable  in  the  hands  of  a  composer  —  is  suitable 
for  harmonic  investment.  It  becomes  necessary  to 
choose  an  Indian  song  or  chant  that  is  attractive  in 
its  simplicity,  one  that  will  stand  alone  by  virtue  of 
its  inherent  melodic  line,  and  is  fairly  good  in  sym- 
metry; otherwise  the  idealizer  is  confronted  with 
a  formidable  problem.  When  found,  these  themes 
are  pure  gold.  And  they  exist,  certain  critics  to  the 
contrary  notwithstanding.' 

The  catalogue  of  his  published  compositions 
and  arrangements  (1919)  forms  a  30-page 
booklet.  It  lists  77  secular  and  6  sacred 
songs ;  the  song-cycles  '  Four  American  Indian 
Songs,'  op.  45,  'From  Wigwam  and  Tepee,' 
op.  57,  four  songs  on  tribal  melodies,  and 
'Idyls  of  the  South  Sea,'  op.  55;  the  Japanese 
Romance  'Sayonara,'  op.  49;  'Three  Songs 
to  Odysseus,'  op.  50;  the  song-cycle  'The 
Morning  of  the  Year,'  op.  46,  for  four  solo 
voices;  the  cantata  for  male  voices,  'The 
Vision  of  Sir  Launf al ' ;  and  many  part-songs 
for  men's,  women's  or  mixed  voices.  There 
is  a  long  list  of  piano-pieces ;  several  cycles 
for  piano,  including  the  'Idealized  Indian 
Themes,'  op.  54;  and  many  original  com- 
positions and  arrangements  for  organ,  violin 
and  piano,  etc.  The  outstanding  instrumental 
compositions  are  the  Sonata  in  A,  op.  58,  for 
piano,  and  the  Trio  in  D,  op.  56,  for  violin, 
'cello  and  piano  (both  White-Smith).  Of  the 
latter  The  Art  of  Music  says :  '  The  leading 
characteristics  are  melodic  spontaneity  and 
freshness  of  musical  impulse.  Everywhere 
are  buoyancy,  directness  of  expression,  motion, 
but  little  of  thematic  involution  or  harmonic 
or  formal  sophistication.  It  is  the  trio  of 
a  lyrist;  from  the  standpoint  of  modern 
chamber-music  it  might  be  called  naive,  but 
the  strength,  sincerity  and  beauty  of  its 
melodies  claim,  and  sometimes  compel,  one's 
attention.'  In  manuscript  (1919)  is  the  one- 
act  opera  'The  Garden  of  Mystery,'  libretto 
by  Mrs.  Eberhart,  based  on  Hawthorne's 
story  of  '  Rappaccini's  Daughter.'  [  R.9  ] 

CADY,  CALVIN  BRAINERD  (June  21, 
1851,  Barry,  111.),  had  his  first  training  at 
Oberlin,  where  he  also  taught  in  the  public 
schools  in  1871-72.  In  1872-74  he  was  at 
the  Leipzig  Conservatory,  where  his  teachers 
were  Richter,  Papperitz  and  Paul.  Returning 
to  Oberlin,  he  taught  harmony  and  piano  at 
the  Conservatory  in  1874-79.  His  ambition 
was  to  see  music  given  recognition  in  college

education.  So  in  1880  he  gladly  accepted 
a  call  to  the  University  of  Michigan,  where, 
perhaps  for  the  first  time,  music  became 
eligible  as  a  major  subject  for  the  A.B.  and 
A.M.  degrees.  To  lead  up  to  such  courses, 
music  was  also  made  a  major  in  the  Ann 
Arbor  high  school,  then  a  special  preparatory 
school  for  the  University,  and  thus  this  high 
school  was  about  twenty-five  years  in  advance 
of  the  present  widespread  movement.  A 
careful  study  of  the  work  done  by  his  students 
convinced  him  that  it  raised  problems  about 
the  primal  education  of  the  child.  This  led 
to  his  present  work,  carried  on  under  the  name 
'Music-Education,'  with  the  motto  from 
D'Israeli,  'Music  teaches  most  exquisitely 
the  art  of  development.'  The  Music-Edu- 
cation School  in  Portland,  Ore.,  was  founded 
in  1913,  and  has  steadily  grown  in  numbers 
and  influence.  In  it  music  is  only  one  of  the 
subjects,  of  equal  value  with,  but  no  more  than 
any  other  subject.  In  1888-94  he  taught  in 
the  Chicago  Conservatory,  and  in  1892-94  was 
editor  of  'The  Music  Review.'  In  1901-07  he 
was  in  Boston  as  private  teacher ;  in  1907-10 
he  lectured  in  the  music-extension  department 
of  Teachers  College  (Columbia  University)  in 
New  York;  in  1908-13  he  was  lecturer  on 
pedagogy  in  the  Institute  of  Musical  Art  there. 
For  many  years  he  has  conducted  summer  nor- 
mal courses  in  the  larger  cities  of  the  country. 
He  is  author  of  Music  Education,  3  vols., 
1902-07,  and  articles  in  the  Encyclopedia  of 
Education  and  magazines.  [  R.6  ]

CAMP,  JOHN  SPENCER  (Jan.  30,  1858, 
Middletown,  Conn.) ,  graduated  from  Wesleyan 
University  in  1878  and  took  a  post-graduate 
year  in  Latin,  besides  some  law-study.  His 
training  in  piano  and  harmony  was  with  E.  A. 
Parsons  in  New  Haven,  in  organ  with  Shelley, 
Buck  and  S.  P.  Warren,  and  in  theory  and 
composition  with  Buck  and  Dvorak.  His  chief 
engagements  as  organist  have  been  in  1882- 
1906  at  the  Park  Congregational  Church  in 
Hartford  and  at  the  First  (Congregational) 
Church  there  in  1906-18.  In  1902-11  he 
was  conductor  of  the  Hartford  Philharmonic 
Orchestra  (50  players),  bringing  out  both 
standard  and  new  works  of  importance,  and 
retiring  because  of  ill-health.  He  was  one 
of  the  founders  of  the  A.  G.  O.  in  1896  and 
served  for  several  years  on  its  Council.  He 
has  given  many  organ-recitals  and  musical 
lectures.  From  1890  he  was  active  in  the 
Connecticut  Music  Teachers'  Association 
and  was  its  president  in  1898.  For  many 


years  he  has  been  treasurer  of  the  Austin 
Organ  Company  in  Hartford.  He  has  pub- 
lished the  cantatas  'The  Morning  Star' 
(Christmas),  'The  Prince  of  Peace'  (Christ- 
mas) and  'The  Prince  of  Life'  (Easter); 
'The  Song  of  the  Winds,'  for  soli,  chorus  and 
orchestra;  'God  is  our  Refuge'  (Psalm  46), 
for  soli,  chorus  and  orchestra;  anthems, 
songs  and  piano-pieces.  He  has  also  an 
overture,  'Der  Zeitgeist';  a  'Pilgrim'  Suite 
for  orchestra,  in  three  movements,  based 
on  Bunyan's  allegory ;  a  string-quartet  in  G ; 
'Chant  d' Amour'  and  'Spring-Song'  for  or- 
chestra; a  Romanza  and  Serenade  for  violin, 
'cello  and  piano ;  a  Romanza-Fantasia  for  'cello 
and  small  orchestra;  and  a  small  suite  for 
violin  and  piano.  [  R.7  ] 

CAMPANARI,  GIUSEPPE  (Nov.  17,  1858, 
Venice,  Italy),  having  been  first  trained  as 
a  'cellist,  was  for  some  years  in  the  orchestra 
at  La  Scala  in  Milan.  His  first  engagement 
in  America  in  1884  was  as  'cellist  in  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra.  In  1888-90  he  also 
played  in  the  Adamowski  Quartet.  He  had 
been  studying  singing  meanwhile,  and  in  1893 
made  his  d6but  as  leading  baritone  of  Hinrichs' 
Opera  Company  in  New  York.  He  sang  Tonio 
in  the  first  American  performance  of  'I  Pagli- 
acci '  during  his  first  season,  and  proved  equally 
successful  in  both  opera  and  concert.  From 
1895  for  three  seasons  he  was  engaged  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House.  Since  then  he 
has  devoted  himself  largely  to  concert-work 
and  teaching.  [  R.7  ]

CAMPANINI,  CLEOFONTE  (Sept.  1. 
1860,  Parma,  Italy  :  Dec.  19,  1919,  Chicago), 
in  1870-78  studied  violin  with  Ferrarini  in 
Parma  and  later  with  Bazzini  in  Milan.  In 
1883  he  made  his  debut  at  Parma  as  conductor 
in  'Carmen,'  and  the  same  year  was  assistant- 
conductor  to  Vianesi  at  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House  in  New  York.  In  1887  he 
returned  to  the  Metropolitan  to  conduct  the 
first  American  performance  of  'Otello.'  He 
conducted  at  Covent  Garden  in  London  in 
1900-12,  at  La  Scala  in  Milan  in  1903-06,  and 
at  San  Carlo  in  Naples  for  one  year.  He  also 
made  extensive  tours  in  Spain,  Portugal  and 
South  America.  In  1906  he  was  engaged  by 
Hammerstein  as  conductor  and  artistic  di- 
rector of  the  Manhattan  Opera  House  in  New 
York,  where  he  remained  until  differences  of 
opinion  led  to  his  resignation  in  1909.  At 
that  time  De  Koven,  writing  in  the  New 
York  'World'  of  his  popularity  and  influence, 
said,  'Campanini  is  one  of  the  best  operatic 
conductors  that  we  have  ever  had  in  New 
York.  His  authority,  his  wide  artistic  sym- 
pathies, his  untiring  energy  and  faithful  care 
in  the  study  and  rehearsal  and  rare  interpre-

tative  grasp  of  a  composer's  meaning,  as  well 
as  his  absolute  control  of  his  orchestra  in  all 
the  varying  shades  of  orchestral  expression 
stamp  him  as  a  conductor  of  the  very  first 
rank.'  In  1910,  when  the  Chicago  Opera 
Company  was  organized,  he  became  principal 
conductor  and  in  1913  general  director,  a 
position  held  till  his  death.  He  produced  the 
following  works  for  the  first  time  in  America : 
Massenet's  'Thais,'  'Le  Jongleur  de  Notre- 
Dame,'  'Griselidis,'  'Sapho,'  'Herodiade,' 
'Cendrillon,'  'Cleopatre'  and  'Marie  Made- 
leine'; Debussy's  'Pelleas  et  Melisande'; 
Charpentier's  '  Louise ' ;  Wolf-Ferrari's  '  I 
Giojelli  della  Madonna'  and  'II  Segreto  di 
Suzanna ' ;  Parelli's  '  I  Dispettosi  Amanti ' ; 
Goldmark's  'The  Cricket  on  the  Hearth'; 
Camille  Erlanger's  'Aphrodite';  Frederic 
d'Erlanger's  'Noel';  Kienzl's  'Ranz  des 
Vaches';  Franchetti's  'Cristoforo  Colombo'; 
Gnecchi's  '  Cassandra ' ;  Nougues'  '  Quo

'  Princesse  d'Auberge ' ;  Saint-Saens"  Dejanire'; 
Buchhalter's  'A  Lovers'  Knot' ;  and  Guns- 
bourg's  '  Le  Vieil  Aigle.'  His  sudden  death  was 
due  to  pneumonia.  His  wife,  Eva  (b.  1864), 
the  sister  of  Louisa  Tetrazzini,  was  a  favorite 
operatic  soprano,  but  has  not  been  active  in 
recent  years.  [  R.7  ]

CAMPBELL-TIPTON,  LOUIS  (Nov.  21, 
1877,  Chicago),  began  music  spontaneously  as 
a  child,  and  at  fifteen  was  already  publishing 
simple  songs.  In  1896  he  entered  the  Leipzig 
Conservatory,  where  he  studied  theory  with 
Schreck  and  had  help  from  Reinecke  —  the 
latter  finding  him  rather  an  intractable  and 
independent  pupil.  After  three  years  he  re- 
turned to  America  and  remained  two  years. 
Since  1901  he  has  resided  in  Paris,  where  his 
piano-works  and  songs  have  been  frequently 
heard.  Though  he  has  specialized  in  these 
directions,  he  has  in  manuscript  two  operas, 
orchestral  works,  etc.,  of  which  the  titles  are 
not  yet  available.  He  thinks  that  'the  pros- 
pect is  not  so  hopeless  as  formerly  of  getting 
a  production  for  American  works  of  this 
calibre,'  and  adds  that  he  has  'never  been  fond 
enough  of  work  to  be  ready  to  sacrifice  time 
and  energy  for  the  completion  of  a  large  work, 
where  I  have  seen  no  hope  of  its  ever  being 
made  known.'  His  published  works  include, 
for  violin  and  piano,  a  'Suite  Pastorale' 
(Leuckart),  a  'Romanza  Appassionata '  (Con- 


solidated Music  Co.),  and  a  'Lament'  (Schir- 
mer) ;  for  piano,  a  'Sonata  Heroic'  (Schirmer), 
the  suite  'The  Four  Seasons'  (Leuckart),  two 
'Legends'  (Schirmer),  two  Preludes,  two 
Bagatelles,  a  'Nocturnale'  and  a  'Matinale' 
(Leuckart) ;  and  about  thirty  songs,  including 
'Three  Shadows,'  'A  Spirit-Flower,'  'Four 
Sea-Lyrics,'  'A  Fool's  Soliloquy,'  'Love's  Jes- 
ter,' 'Rhapsodie,'  'Invocation,'  'All  the  words 
that  I  gather,'  'The  Opium-Smoker,'  'Mem-

I  CANADIAN  ACADEMY  OF  MUSIC, 
THE,  of  Toronto,  was  established]  in  1911. 
With  it  in  1918  was  amalgamated  the  Toronto 
College  of  Music,  which  since  1888  had  been 
under  the  leadership  of  the  late  F.  H.  Torring- 
ton.  Thus  was  formed  an  institution  of  excel- 
lent quality,  which  not  only  serves  a  large 
clientele  in  Toronto,  but  has  examination-cen- 
ters throughout  the  Dominion. 

CANADIAN  GUILD  OF  ORGANISTS, 
THE,  founded  in  1909,  is  an  organization 
upon  the  same  lines  as  the  American  Guild  of 
Organists.  The  president  since  the  beginning 
has  been  Albert  Ham  of  Toronto.

CARL,  WILLIAM  CRANE  (Mar.  2,  1865, 
Bloomfield,  N.  J.),  was  first  trained  on  the 
piano  by  his  sister  and  by  Madeline  Schiller. 
His  study  of  organ  and  theory  was  under  S. 
P.  Warren  in  New  York  and  Guilmant  in 
Paris.  In  1882-90  he  was  organist  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church  in  Newark,  and  since 
1892  has  been'  organist  at  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  in  New  York.  Here  he  has 
produced  many  important  oratorios  and  has 
given  over  150  recitals,  the  programs  being 
devoted  mostly  to  French,  English,  Italian 
and  American  works.  Many  compositions 
have  been  specially  written  for  these  recitals 
by  leading  composers.  In  1899  he  founded  the 
Guilmant  Organ  School,  where  he  is  still 
director  and  chief  organ-teacher.  This  school 
has  a  roll  of  over  100  full  graduates,  many 
holding  prominent  positions.  He  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  the  A.  G.  O.  and  has  always 
been  prominent  in  its  affairs.  New  York 
University  made  him  Mus.D.  in  1911.  The 
French  Government  in  1909  had  already 
given  him  the  title  of  Officier  de  1'Instruction 
Publique.  He  was  largely  influential  in 
arranging  the  American  tours  of  Guilmant  and 
Bonnet.  He  himself  has  toured  extensively 
and  inaugurated  many  important  organs. 
The  record  includes  recitals  in  both  Europe 
and  America  and  as  soloist  with  the  leading 
orchestras,  solo  engagements  at  the  World's 
Expositions  for  several  years,  and  even  a 
series  in  the  Klondike,  Alaska.  Among  the 
works  which  he  has  edited  are  Master-Pieces 
for  the  Organ,  Thirty  Postludes,  Novelties  for 
the  Organ,  2  vols.,  Ecclesice  Organum,  Festival 
Music,  5  vols.,  Master- Studies  for  the  Organ,  and 
a  Historical  Album  of  Organ  Music.  [  R.7  ]

CARNEGIE,  ANDREW  (Nov.  25,  1837, 
Dunfermline,  Scotland  :  Aug.  11,  1919, 
Lenox,  Mass.).  Among  the  many  interests 
of  this  remarkable  man  music  was  not  the 
least.  He  had  unusually  quick  and  delicate 
hearing,  as  is  shown  by  his  being  one  of  the 
first  to  take  telegraphic  messages  by  ear. 
This  led  to  his  promotion  while  yet  a  boy  to 
be  assistant  to  Thomas  A.  Scott,  the  head  of 
the  Western  Division  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad.  He  always  delighted  in  'the  con- 
cord of  sweet  sounds,'  and  often  quoted  the 
oriental  exclamation,  'O  music,  sacred  tongue 
of  God,  I  hear  thee  calling,  and  I  come.'  To 
him  listening  to  an  organ  as  played  by  a  master 
was  a  devotional  experience,  and  hence  he 
found  pleasure  in  helping  congregations  to 
acquire  instruments  that  might  enrich  their 
worship.  One  of  the  first  gifts  he  made  in 
early  manhood,  when  his  prosperity  began, 


was  an  organ  for  the  little  church  in  Alle- 
gheny where  his  relatives  and  friends  attended. 
The  total  number  of  churches  thus  aided  was 
7689,  of  which  4092  were  in  the  United  States 
(1351  in  Pennsylvania  alone),  2119  in  England, 
1005  in  Scotland,  219  in  Ireland,  32  in  Wales 
and  the  remainder  in  the  British  Colonies  all 
over  the  world.  The  aggregate  expended  by 
him  in  this  way  was  about  $6,250,000.  He  was 
also  responsible  for  the  installation  of  concert- 
organs  in  many  places,  among  the  earliest  be- 
ing those  in  the  assembly-halls  of  the  libraries 
which  he  built  in  Pittsburgh  and  adjoining 
towns.  He  provided  for  the  perennial  giv- 
ing of  recitals  twice  a  week  in  Pittsburgh, 
both  at  the  Library  on  the  North  Side  (for- 
merly Allegheny)  and  at  the  Carnegie  In- 
stitute, making  them  'free  to  the  people.' 
This  unique  provision  took  effect  in  Allegheny 
in  1889  and  in  Pittsburgh  in  1895. 

He  became  a  member  of  the  Oratorio 
Society  of  New  York  in  1885  and  was  its 
president  for  thirty  years  (1888-1918).  He 
was  also  a  member  and  president  of  the 
Philharmonic  Society  there  in  1901-09.  His 
interest  in  the  Oratorio  Society  resulted  in 
1891  in  the  erection  of  Carnegie  Music  Hall 
at  Seventh  Avenue  and  Fifty-Sixth  Street, 
which  became  at  once  a  chief  center  of  musical 
art  in  the  metropolis.  He  was  the  friend 
of  many  musicians,  and  in  quiet  and  un- 
ostentatious ways  aided  some  of  them  to 
secure  recognition  and  success.  His  home  in 
New  York  and  his  country-houses  in  Scotland 
and  the  United  States  were  all  provided  with 
noble  organs,  and  he  employed  the  most 
capable  organists  to  play  on  them. 

The  Trust  which  he  created  for  the  United 
Kingdom,  having  its  seat  at  Dunfermline, 
has  displayed  sedulous  care  for  musical 
education,  and  in  1916  announced  a  plan 
under  which  it  agrees  to  publish  important 
new  musical  works,  at  the  same  time  guaran- 
teeing the  copyright  to  the  composer.  This  has 
already  resulted  in  the  publication  of  a  number 
of  musical  compositions  of  merit.1  [  R.7  ] 

CARNEGIE  INSTITUTE,  THE,  of  Pitts- 
burgh, erected  by  Andrew  Carnegie  in  1895, 
besides  being  the  center  for  many  other  edu- 
cational facilities  and  undertakings,  includes 
a  large  concert-hall  where  free  organ-recitals 
are  given  twice  a  week.  The  official  organists 
have  been  Frederick  Archer  (1895-1901), 
Edwin  H.  Lemare  (1902-05)  and  Charles 
Heinroth  (since  1907).  The  orga'n,  built  bfr 
the  Skinner  Company  in  1918,  has  four 
manuals  and  115  stops.

place  among  American  composers  through  his 
fortunate,  straightforward  and  untrammeled 
faculty  of  musical  expression,  prompted  by 
technical  fluency  and  skill  and  marked  by 
unusual  charm  and  refinement.  His  mother, 
a  distinguished  amateur  singer,  gave  him  his 
first  lessons,  and  Miss  Fay  and  Seeboeck  were 
his  next  teachers.  In  1897  he  graduated  from 
Harvard  University,  having  taken  all  the  musi- 
cal courses  available.  For  a  short  time  he 
studied  with  Elgar,  and  in  1908-12  was  under 
Ziehn  in  Chicago.  Despite  all  this  musical  ac- 
tivity, since  1897  he  has  primarily  engaged  in 
the  mill,  railway  and  vessel  supply-business  of 
George  B.  Carpenter  &  Co.,  and  since  1909  has 
been  its  vice-president.  His  first  published 
work  in  larger  form  was  the  sonata  for  violin 
and  piano  (1913).  An  orchestral  s\iite,  'Ad- 
ventures in  a  Perambulator'  (1915),  has  been 
played  by  the  Chicago  and  New  York  Sym- 
phony Orchestras.  The  Concertino  for  piano 
and  orchestra,  written  in  1915,  was  published 
in  1919.  His  Symphony  No.  1,  written  in 
1916-17  and  played  at  the  Norfolk  Festival 
of  1917,  has  not  yet  been  published.  Among 
his  songs,  made  familiar  by  leading  singers, 
are  the  song-cycles  'Gitanjali'  (poems  by 
Tagore),  'Improving  Songs  for  Anxious 
Children'  (poems,  music  and  pictures  by 
John  and  Rue  Carpenter),  'Water-colors,'  four 
Chinese  tone-poems,  as  well  as  twenty-four 
detached  songs.  From  the  latter  may  be 
singled  for  special  mention  '  Go,  Lovely  Rose,' 
'A  Cradle-Song,'  'The  Green  River,'  'Les 
Silhouettes'  and  'Chanson  d'Automne.'  Only 
four  piano-compositions  have  yet  appeared  in 
print.  [  R.9  ] 

CARR,  BENJAMIN  (1769,  England  :  May 
24,  1831,  Philadelphia),  came  to  America  in 
1793.  He  had  had  excellent  advantages,  among 
them  experience  in  the  enterprise  known  as 
'The  Antient  Concerts'  under  Joah  Bates. 
He  established  the  first  music-store  in  Phila- 
delphia, with  a  branch  in  New  York  from  1794 
(later  sold  to  James  Hewitt),  and  from  1794  for 
more  than  thirty  years  was  noted  as  a  ballad- 
and  ope'ra-singer,  pianist,  organist,  conductor 
and  composer,  chiefly  in  Philadelphia.  In 
1820  he  was  a  leader  in  the  organization  of 
the  Musical  Fund  Society  there  and  was  one 
of  its  early  conductors.  The  Society  erected 
a  tablet  to  his  memory  in  St.  Peter's  Church 
and  his  portrait,  by  Barley,  was  the  first  of 
its  collection  (reproduced  in  Sonneck,  Early 
Opera,  p.  102).  Besides  many  other  works, 
all  marked  by  taste  and  facility,  in  1796  he 
brought  out  in  New  York  the  opera  'The 
Archers,'  libretto  by  William  Dunlap,  which 
was  repeated  at  least  twice  there  and  also  in 
Boston.  Of  this  work  only  two  fragments 
are  known  (see  Sonneck,  Early  Opera,  pp. 
98-100).  About  1800  he  edited  a  'Musical 


Journal,'  and  from  1805  published  several 
collections  of  sacred  music  (see  TUNE-BOOKS), 
as  well  as  theoretical  text-books.  His  sound 
musicianship  and  his  practical  versatility 
made  him  highly  influential.  See  note  in 
I.  M.  S.  Sammelbde.  6.  466,  many  references  in

CARRENO,  MARIA  TERESA  (Dec.  22, 
1853,  Caracas,  Venezuela  :  June  12,  1917, 
New  York).  See  article  in  Vol.  i.  474.  Her 
d6but  as  pianist  occurred  at  the  instance  of 
Gottschalk  at  Irving  Hall  in  New  York  on 
Nov.  7,  1862,  leading  to  a  series  of  six  concerts 
from  Nov.  25  to  Dec.  22,  the  last  in  the 
Academy  of  Music  before  an  audience  of 
4000.  A  longer  series  followed  in  Boston, 
where  she  played  with  orchestra.  She  toured 
England  and  the  Continent  in  1865-74,  and 
it  was  at  Edinburgh  on  May  24,  1872,  that 
she  sang  the  part  of  the  Queen  in  '  Les  Hugue- 
nots.' On  her  return  to  America  in  1875  she 
studied  singing  with  Mme.  Rudersdorff  in 
Boston,  and  began  an  operatic  career  which 
lasted  untiT!882.  During  the  winter  of  1875- 
76  she  gave  occasional  piano-lessons  to  Mac- 
Dowell,  prior  to  his  departure  for  Paris.  His 
second  piano-concerto  is  dedicated  to  her, 
and  she,  the  first  other  than  himself  to  play 
his  works  in  public,  was  an  ardent  propa- 
gandist for  his  music.  After  1882  she  appeared 
widely  as  concert-pianist,  but  her  greatest 
fame  dates  from  her  European  trip  of  1889-90. 
She  was  four  times  married  —  in  1872  to  the 
violinist  Sauret,  in  £1875(?)  to  the  baritone 
Giovanni  Tagliapietra,  in  1892  to  the  pianist 
d'Albert,  and  in  1902  to  Arturo  Tagliapietra. 
Two  children  by  the  second  marriage  have 
become  musically  noted.  Her  last  recital  was 
in  Havana  on  Mar.  21,  1917.  Her  'compo- 
sitions were  written  in  early  life.  The  best 
known  is  the  waltz  'Mi  Teresita.'  There 
are  also  Etudes  and  concert-pieces  for  the 
piano,  a  string-quartet,  and  a  'Petite  Danse 
Tsigane '  for  orchestra  —  about  40  in  all.  The 
Venezuelan  Hymn  she  composed  is  not  the 
national  anthem,  but  a  festival  hymn  for  the 
centenary  of  Bolivar  (1883).  [  R.5  ]

CARTER,  HENRY  (Mar.  6,  1837,  London, 
England  :  ?  ),  of  a  family  of  organists, 
had  early  training  from  his  father,  Pauer,  Goss 
and  Steggall  in  England  and  from  Haupt,  Kiel 
and  Hiller  in  Germany.  He  began  church- 
playing  at  nine  and  at  seventeen  went  to 
Canada,  where  from  1854  he  was  organist 
at  the  Quebec  (English)  Cathedral  and  founded 
the  first  Canadian  oratorio  society.  In  1864 
he  removed  to  Boston  to  become  one  of  the 
regular  players  on  the  new  organ  in  Music 
Hall,  as  well  as  organist  at  the  Church  of  the 
Advent  and  later  at  St.  Stephen's  in  Provi- 
dence. In  1873-80  he  was  organist  at  Trinity 
Church  in  New  York,  where  he  gave  weekly 
recitals.  In  1880-83  he  taught  in  the  College 
of  Music  in  Cincinnati,  but  in  1883  returned  to 
be  organist  at  Plymouth  Church  in  Brooklyn 
and  later  at  the  Collegiate  Church  (48th 
Street)  in  New  York.  He  became  widely 
known  as  an  effective  recitalist.  His  works 
included  two  string-quartets,  an  anthem  for 
soli,  chorus  and  orchestra,  other  church- 
music,  part-songs  and  songs.  His  brother, 
William  Carter  (b.  1838),  well-known  in  Eng- 
land as  player  and  choral  conductor,  exchanged 
work  with  him  at  Quebec  in  1859  and  then 
led  the  largest  Handel  festival  that  had  been 
held  in  Canada.  Another  brother,  George 
Carter  (b.  1835),  in  1861-70  was  organist  at 
the  Montreal  Cathedral  and  in  1865-67  gave 
many  organ-recitals  in  the  United  States, 
returning  to  London  later.  [  R.4  ] 

CARUSO,  ENRICO  (Feb.  25,  1873,  Naples, 
Italy) .  See  article  in  Vol.  v.  622.  He  first  ap- 
peared in  1894  at  the  Teatro  Nuovo  in  Naples  in 
'L'Amico  Francesco.'  A  year  later  he  sang  at 
the  Fondo  there  in  '  La  Traviata,' '  La  Favorita' 
and  'La  Gioconda.'  In  1898  he  made  a  sensa- 
tion at  the  Teatro  Lirico  in  Milan  as  Marcello 
in  Leoncavallo's '  La  Boheme,'  and  engagements 
at  Genoa,  Petrograd  and  Buenos  Aires  quickly 
followed.  His  first  appearance  at  La  Scala 
was  in  1901,  and  his  fame  as  one  of  the  greatest 
tenors  of  this  generation  was  then  established. 
His  New  York  debut  was  at  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House  on  Nov.  23,  1903,  in  'Rigoletto,' 
as  in  London  the  year  before.  Since  then 
he  has  been  regularly  at  the  Metropolitan, 


and  on  Mar.  21,  1919,  celebrated  his  twenty- 
fifth  anniversary  as  an  opera-singer  there 
with  a  gala  performance,  illuminated  addresses 
and  many  gifts  from  associates  and  admirers. 
He  had  then  sung  549  times  in  New  York. 
He  has  created  the  leading  tenor-roles  in 
'Fedora'  (1898),  'Le  Maschere'  (1901),  'Ad- 
riana  Lecouvreur,'  'Gennania,'  'Madama  But-

CASALS,  PABLO  (Dec.  30,  1876,  Vendrell, 
Spain),  was  first  taught  by  his  father,  an 
organist,  on  the  piano,  the  flute  and  the  violin. 
At  twelve  he  took  up  the  'cello  with  Jose 
Garcia,  and  after  two  years  won  a  first  prize 
at  the  Barcelona  Conservatory.  Meanwhile 
he  had  studied  composition  with  Rodereda. 
Under  the  Queen's  patronage  in  1894-96  he 
was  a  pupil  of  Tomas  Breton  in  composition 
at  Madrid,  and  also  assisted  in  the  chamber- 
music  class  of  Jesus  de  Monasterio.  He  was 
solo  'cellist  at  the  Paris  Opera  in  1895-98  and 
made  concert-tours  of  Western  Europe.  His 
professional  d6but  was  at  the  Concerts 
Lamoureux  in  1898,  and  he  first  appeared 
in  London  the  same  year.  Since  1901  he  has 
made  repeated  trips  to  America  and  his  suc- 
cess, both  as  soloist  and  in  ensemble,  has  been 
phenomenal.  He  married  the  American 
singer  Susan  Metcalfe  in  1914.  He  is  a  Cheva- 
lier of  the  Legion  d'Honneur,  and  received 
a  gold  medal  from  the  Royal  Philharmonic 
Society  of  London  in  1912.  His  compositions 
are  a  symphonic  poem,  'La  Vision  de  Fray 
Martin,'  for  orchestra,  organ,  soli  and  chorus ; 
a  symphonic  poem  for  orchestra  (1902) ;  a 
Miserere;  pieces  for  orchestra,  'cello  and 
piano,  violin  and  piano,  etc.  [  R.9  ] 

CASAVANT  FRERES,  organ-makers  at 
St.  Hyacinthe,  Que.,  started  in  business  in 
1879.  The  two  partners,  J.  C.  Casavant 
(b.  1855)  and  Samuel  Casavant  (b.  1850), 
were  sons  of  Joseph  Casavant,  who  worked 
as  organ-maker  at  St.  Hyacinthe  in  1845-66, 
but  was  forced  to  stop  by  ill-health.  The 
older  son  had  had  training  under  the  Abbeys 
at  Versailles.  In  1882  they  began  using  the 
adjustable  combination-pedal  invented  by

Duval  of  Montreal,  which  waa  also  employed 
by  Roosevelt  in  New  York  after  1889.  From 
1885  they  added  a  crescendo-pedal  moving 
the  stop-knobs.  This  novelty  Archer  called 
'a  triumph  of  ingenuity.'  From  1891  they 
developed  the  form  of  electric  action  which 
they  still  use.  They  have  built  about  825 
organs,  including  175  with  three  manuals  and 
about  70  with  four  —  notable  examples  being 
at  Notre  Dame,  Montreal,  St.  Paul's  and  the

CASE,  ANNA  (Oct.  29,  1889,  Clinton, 
N.  J.),  was  educated  entirely  in  the  United 
States,  having  but  one  teacher,  Mme.  Ohr- 
strom-Renard  of  New  York.  Her  debut  in 
1909  was  at  the  New  Theatre  in  New  York 
as  the  Dutch  Boy  in  'Werther.'  In  1909-16 
she  was  a  member  of  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
Company.  In  first  American  performances 
she  created  the  roles  of  Sophie  in  '  Der  Rosen- 
kavalier'  (1913)  and  Feodor  in  'Boris  Godu- 
nov'  (1912),  singing  also  Olympia  in  'Tales 
of  Hoffmann,'  Mimi  in  'La  Boheme'  and 
Micaela  in  'Carmen.'  Since  1916  she  has 
devoted  her  entire  time  to  concerts  and 
recitals  throughout  the  United  States  and 
Canada,  and  has  gained  a  reputation  as  a 
foremost  recital-singer.  She  has  composed 
the  songs  'Our  America'  (Church)  and  'The 
Robin's  Song'  (Flammer).  [  R.9  ]

CASTLE  SQUARE  OPERA  COMPANY, 
THE,  organized  in  Boston  about  1895  by 
Henry  W.  Savage,  took  its  name  from  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre,  which  he  owned. 
The  primary  object  was  to  give  light  opera 
in  English,  but  it  essayed  some  larger  works, 
and  its  success  led  in  1900  to  more  ambitious 
undertakings  under  the  name  of  the  Henry 
W.  Savage  Opera  Company. 

CAVALIERI,  LINA  (Dec.  25,  1874,  Rome, 
Italy),  is  said  to  have  risen  into  fame  as  an 
operatic  soprano  from  singing  at  caf6-con- 
certs.  She  studied  with  Mme.  Mariani-Masi 
in  Paris,  and  made  her  d6but  as  Nedda  in 
'I  Pagliacci'  at  Lisbon  in  December,  1900. 
She  sang  in  Naples,  Palermo,  Florence,  Milan, 
Paris,  Warsaw,  Petrograd  and  Moscow.  In 
1906-07  she  was  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House  in  New  York,  in  1908-09  at  the  Man- 
hattan Opera  House,  and  in  1915-16  with  the 
Chicago  Opera  Company.  She  has  appeared 
in  'Faust,'  'La  Boheme,'  'La  Traviata,' 
'Manon,'  'Fedora,'  'Rigoletto,'  'Manon  Les-

CECILIA  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  Boston. 
See  note  in  Vol.  i.  369.  B.  J.  Lang  resigned 
in  1907,  having  been  conductor  for  thirty 
years  and  given  the  Society  an  enviable 
reputation  for  breadth  of  policy  and  efficiency 
of  performance.  The  succeeding  conductors 
have  been  Wallace  Goodrich  in  1907-10,  Max 
Fiedler  in  1910-11,  Arthur  Mees  and  Henry 
Gideon  in  1911-15,  Chalmers  Clifton  in  1915- 
17  and  Arthur  Shepherd  since  1917.  As  a 
rule,  the  Society  gives  three  concerts  annually, 
which  are  now  open  to  the  public  as  well  as 
to  subscribers,  and  during  the  period  1891-1910 
the  series  was  repeated  at  low  prices  for  wage- 
earners.  Its  relation  to  the  Boston  Symphony 
Orchestra  has  always  been  close,  and  in  1910-11 
the  two  arranged  a  season  in  conjunction.  It 
has  often  had  the  assistance  of  other  choral 
organizations,  and  has  served  on  numerous 
civic  and  other  occasions  of  importance,  as, 
for  example,  at  the  final  concert  in  the  old 
Music  Hall  and  the  dedication  of  Symphony 
Hall  in  1900.  Among  guest-conductors  have 
been  Bruch  in  1882,  Parker  in  1889,  Dvorak 
in  1892,  Henschel  in  1902  and  Colonne  in  1904. 
The  list  of  distinguished  soloists  is  long  and 
varied. 

Though  originally  formed  to  cultivate  a  cappella 
singing,  especially  of  smaller  secular  works,  the 
repertory  has  included  many  works  of  the  first  mag- 
nitude, like  Beethoven's  Missa  Solennis  (1897), 
Bach's  Mass  in  B  minor  (1901),  Tinel's  'St.  Francis' 
(1893),  Elgar's  'The  Dream  of  Gerontius'  (1904) 
and  Wolf-Ferrari's  'La  Vita  Nuova'  (1909).  Nearly 
150  works,  large  and  small,  have  been  sung  for  the 
first  time  in  Boston.  Among  the  absolute  premie'rea 
are  Mendelssohn's  'Athalie'  with  the  Racine  text 
(1887),  Chadwick's  'The  Pilgrim's  Hymn'  (1891), 
Henschel's  Requiem  (1902)  and  Paine's  'Azara'  in 
concert-form  (1907).  First  times  in  America  include 
Foote's  'The  Wreck  of  the  Hesperus'  (1888),  Berlioz' 
'The  Fifth  of  May'  (1891),  Perosi's  'The  Trans- 
figuration' (1899),  Coleridge-Taylor's  'Hiawatha's 
Departure'  (1900),  Massenet's  'The  Promised  Land' 
(1902),  Charpentier's  'The  Poet's  Life'  (1905), 
d'Indy's  'St.  Mary  Magdalene'  (1906)  and  'The 
Song  of  the  Bell'  (1916)  and  Florent  Schmitt's  Psalm 
46  (1913).  Second  times  in  America  include  Berlioz* 
Requiem  (1882),  Dvorak's  Requiem  (1892),  Ban- 
tock's  'Omar  Khayyam'  (1910)  and  Elgar's  'The 
Music-Makers'  (1913),  besides  the  works  of  Tinel, 
Bach  and  Wolf-Ferrari  named  above.

CECILIA  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  Charleston, 
S.  C.,  appears  to  have  been  the  earliest  musical 
organization  in  America.  It  was  founded  in 
1762  as  an  exclusive  social  club,  and  was  so 
maintained  until  after  1800.  Its  'Rules,'  as 
adopted  in  1773,  were  published  in  1774  (re-

They  provide  for  four  meetings  annually,  the 
chief  being  on  Nov.  22,  St.  Cecilia's  Day. 
The  programs  included  vocal  and  instrumental 
numbers  either  by  members  of  the  Society 
or  by  visiting  artists  —  the  latter  ultimately 
sometimes  drawn  from  a  distance,  as  from 
Boston.  From  the  first  the  Society  proved 
a  constant  stimulus  artistically  and  was  the 
principal  reason  for  the  notable  musical 
activity  of  Charleston  before  and  after  1800. 
[Until  about  1790  the  name  was  written 
'Ccecilia.'] 

CECILIA  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  Cincinnati, 
was  organized  in  1856  by  Frederic  L.  Ritter 
and  conducted  by  him  till  1861.  Starting 
as  a  choral  society,  it  soon  undertook  orchestral 
work  as  well,  and  thus  exercised  a  valuable 
influence  in  promoting  musical  interest.  See 
Ritter,  Music  in  America,  chap.  xxi. 

CECILIENVEREIN,  DER  ALLGEMIE- 
NE  DEUTSCHE,  founded  by  Franz  X. 
Witt  of  Ratisbon  in  1867,  is  represented  in 
America  by  the  St.  Cecilia  Society,  organized 
in  1873  by  John  B.  Singenberger  of  Mil- 
waukee, who  since  1874  has  conducted  its 
journal '  Cecilia.' 

CENTURY  OPERA  COMPANY,  THE, 
was  organized  in  1913  at  the  instigation  of 
the  City  Club  of  New  York,  with  a  guaranty 
from  a  group  of  public-spirited  men,  largely 
those  also  interested  in  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House,  the  leader  being  Otto  H.  Kahn. 
Its  design  was  to  give  performances  at  popular 
prices  and  in  English  as  far  as  possible.  The 
managers  were  the  brothers  Aborn,  and  the 
Century  Theater  was  secured  and  enlarged. 
The  conductors  in  1913-14  were  Alfred 
Szendrei  and  Carlo  Nicosia,  in  1914-15  Agide 
Jacchia  and  Ernst  Knoch.  In  spite  of  much 
enthusiasm  at  first  and  worthy  effort  through- 
out, the  enterprise  had  to  be  abandoned  early 
in  1915,  after  an  unsuccessful  series  of  per- 
formances in  Chicago.  See  The  Art  of  Music,

CHADWICK,  GEORGE  WHITEFIELD 
(Nov.  13,  1854,  Lowell,  Mass.).  See  article 
in  Vol.  i.  494-5.  His  organ-playing  began  at 
fifteen.  Attempts  at  composition  followed 
soon,  while  he  was  still  at  school.  Despite 
this  attention  to  music  he  finished  his  course 
at  the  Lawrence  Academy  and  seemed  likely 
to  go  into  business.  But  in  1872  he  took  up 
theory  with  Buck  and  organ  with  Whiting 
at  the  New  England  Conservatory.  This 
preceded  his  study  with  Eugene  Thayer. 
By  this  time  he  had  written  two  overtures 
for  small  orchestra  and  some  piano-trios. 


While  at  Leipzig  in  1877-79  he  had  two  string- 
quartets  performed,  as  well  as  the  'Rip  van 
Winkle'  overture.  The  latter  was  given  also 
in  Dresden  and  three  times  in  Boston  in  1879- 
80.  After  settling  in  Boston  in  1880  he  was 
often  in  request  as  conductor  for  choral  and 
orchestral  organizations.  Notable  engage- 
ments were  for  the  Springfield  Festivals  in 
1889-99  and  the  Worcester  Festivals  in 
1897-1901.  He  has  also  served  as  guest- 
conductor  with  all  the  larger  orchestras 
throughout  the  country.  At  the  New  Eng- 
land Conservatory,  where  he  has  been  director 
since  1897,  besides  raising  the  standards  in 
other  departments,  he  has  impressed  himself 
especially  upon  the  work  in  composition  and 
in  ensemble-playing.  From  his  orchestra 
of  80  many  players  have  gone  into  orchestras 
elsewhere,  some  of  them  becoming  conductors. 
He  was  made  A.M.  by  Yale  in  1897  and  LL.D. 
by  Tufts  College  in  1905. 

In  the  list  of  compositions  note  that  the 
Symphony  in  C,  No.  1,  was  first  given  by  the 
Harvard  Musical  Association  on  Feb.  23, 
1882,  and  that  the  Symphony  in  F,  No.  3, 
was  played  by  the  Boston  Symphony  Or- 
chestra on  Oct.  20,  1894.  The  Quartet  in  C, 
No.  2,  dates  from  1879,  not  1897.  The 
Sinfonietta  was  first  given  in  Jordan  Hall, 
Boston,  by  an  orchestra  of  players  from  the 
Symphony  Orchestra,  under  the  composer's 
direction,  on  Nov.  21,  1904,  and  on  the  same 
program  were  the  'Symphonic  Sketches' 
(1896),  the  3rd  Symphony,  the  ballad 
'Lochinvar,'  for  baritone  and  orchestra  (1897), 
and  several  songs.  'Judith,'  his  most  ambitious 
choral  work,  was  produced  at  Worcester  on 
Sept.  28,  1901.  The  symphonic  poem 
'Cleopatra'  was  played  by  the  Chicago 
Orchestra  in  1905.  The  symphonic  poem 
'Aphrodite'  was  written  for  the  Norfolk 
Festival  in  June,  1912.  The  symphonic  poem 
'Angel  of  Death,'  based  on  the  famous  group 
by  the  sculptor  Daniel  C.  French,  was  given 
by  the  Symphony  Society  of  New  York  at 
the  memorial  concert  for  Theodore  Roosevelt 
in  1919.  His  'Suite  Symphonic'  in  E-flat 
received  the  first  prize  from  the  American 
Federation  of  Musical  Clubs  and  was  per- 
formed by  the  Philadelphia  Orchestra  in 
March,  1917.  From  1917  dates  the  symphonic 
ballade  'Tarn  o'  Shanter.'  'Noel,'  a  Christmas 
pastoral  for  chorus,  soli  and  orchestra,  was 
written  for  the  Norfolk  Festival  in  June,  1908. 
Other  vocal  works  are  'Aghadoe,'  a  ballade 
for  contralto  and  orchestra,  'Love's  Sacrifice,' 
a  pastoral  opera  in  one  act  (1915),  'Land  of 
our  Hearts,'  a  patriotic  hymn  for  chorus  and 
orchestra  (given  by  the  Boston  Symphony 
Orchestra  in  September,  1918),  and  incidental 
music  to  'Everywoman,'  the  play  by  Walter 
Brown,  produced  in  New  York  on  Feb.  21,

1911.  In  manuscript  there  is  a  tragic  opera, 
'The  Padrone,'  in  two  parts. 

Concerning  his  work  Edward  Burlingame 
Hill  has  said:  "His  chief  attributes  are 
fluency  and  beauty  of  melodic  inventiveness, 
mastery  of  part-writing,  a  logical  and  coherent 
grasp  of  form.  His  harmonic  structure  is 
solid,  yet  he  always  manages  to  obtain  effects 
that  are  romantic,  poetic  or  dramatic  in  color 
without  resorting  to  the  devices  of  ultra- 
modern eccentricity.  His  instrumentation  is 
brilliant  and  resourceful  without  employing 
either  a  gigantic  orchestra  or  semi-obsolete 
instruments ;  he  does  not  disregard  the  natural 
limitations  of  the  orchestral  player's  technique 
in  order  to  invent  new  combinations.  His 
contrapuntal  dexterity  is  remarkable  in  an 
age  that  delights  in  contrapuntal  tours  de 
force.  His  command  of  the  sonata  and 
symphonic  forms  and  his  spontaneity  of 
expression  in  them  is  striking,  yet  he  has 
shown  most  convincingly  in  the  overture 
'  Melpomene '  that  he  can  depart  from  the 
strict  letter  of  the  poem  and  justify  the  result. 
His  most  salient  characteristics  as  an  artist 
are  the  sincerity  and  depth  of  his  artistic 
purposes,  an  uncompromising  honesty  which 
will  permit  nothing  vague  or  inconsistent  to 
stand,  and  a  sense  of  balance  and  wholesome 
moderation.  He  invariably  lays  a  firm  con- 
structive foundation  in  his  composition  in 
larger  forms,  in  order  that  he  may  be  free  to 
elaborate  detail  as  he  pleases."  [  R.  6  ]

CHAMBER  MUSIC.  Much  of  the  in- 
strumental music  performed  in  various  places 
during  the  late  18th  century  and  the  early 
19th  was  virtually  of  the  'chamber'  class, 
though  usually  with  chance  combinations  of 
instruments  and  players.  Doubtless  in  some 
cases  this  led  to  rather  more  definite  groups, 
such  as  that  of  the  Hupfelds,  Gilles  and 
Schetky  in  Philadelphia  about  1815.  In 
New  York,  when  German  musicians  began 
to  multiply  after  1840,  sundry  ensemble- 
groups  were  formed,  as  by  Pirsson  about 
1848,  under  the  lead  of  Saroni's  'Musical 
Times'  -in  1849,  and,  more  fruitfully,  by 
Eisfeld  from  1851  and  by  William  Mason 
and  Thomas  in  1855-66.  In  Boston  the 
famous  Mendelssohn  Quintette  Club  was 
founded  in  1849  by  the  Fries  brothers,  and  for 
many  years  continued  by  its  extensive  travels 
and  its  popularity  to  foster  interest  in  instru- 
mental part-music.  Similar  pioneer  work 


was  done  in  Chicago  in  1860-61  by  the  Briggs 
House  Concerts,  followed  in  1863-64  by 
Balatka's  Classical  Chamber  Concerts.

CHARACTER-NOTES.  From  the  begin- 
ning of  pedagogical  effort  in  America  on  behalf 
of  popular  singing,  experiments  were  made  in 
devising  novel  ways  of  printing  what  was  to 
be  sung.  The  chief  of  these  were  based  upon 
the  principle,  now  exemplified  in  the  Tonic 
Sol-fa  system,  that  what  is  presented  to  the  eye 
shall  recall  some  tone-conception  with  which 
the  ear  is  familiar,  and  do  this  by  something 
more  than  merely  relative  position  on  a  staff. 
Tufts'  experiment  in  the  early  18th  century 
was  short-lived,  and  that  of  Law  about  1800 
was  equally  transient,  though  made  known 
to  many  more  users.  But  Law's  idea  of 
varying  the  shape  of  the  note-heads  so  as  to 
indicate  tone-relations  has  had  considerable 
influence.  From  about  1825-30  collections 
of  tunes  began  to  be  frequent,  especially  in 
Ohio  and  Virginia,  in  which  the  music  is 
printed  on  a  staff  exactly  as  in  ordinary 
notation,  but  with  a  system  of  note-heads 
that  indicates  the  scale-degree  intended  — 
do,  A,  re,  *>,  mi,  *t  fa,  *>,  sol,  &,  la,  D,  ti,  ^. 
Many  popular  teachers  and  leaders  evidently 
believed  that  the  use  of  these  'character- 
notes'  or  'shaped  notes'  facilitated  practical 
singing.  Thousands  of  books  in  this  notation 
have  been  put  into  circulation,  and  the  types 
required  to  print  them  are  recognized  by  first- 
class  music-typographers.  But  the  system  has 
never  made  its  way  generally,  and  is  now 
dying  out.

and  harmony  with  Sarah  E.  Newman,  voice 
with  F.  E.  Morse  and  O'Neill,  and  theory  with 
Apthorp.  Her  debut  in  1886  was  at  Music

Orchestra  in  Chicago  in  1902,  giving  the 
Sinding  concerto  its  first  performance  in 
America.  In  recent  years  she  has  devoted 
herself  mostly  to  the  development  of  teaching- 
methods.  To  this  end  she  founded  at  Chicago 
in  1906  the  Mary  Wood  Chase  School  of 
Musical  Arts  (incorporated  1912),  with  a 
faculty  especially  trained  to  teach  her  methods. 
In  1912  a  summer-school  was  added  at  Ep- 
worth,  Mich.  She  has  the  reputation  of  hav- 
ing trained  many  fine  pianists  and  successful 
teachers.  In  1910  was  published  her  Natural 
Laws  in  Piano-Technic.  (Ditson).  She  has 
in  preparation  works  on  the  philosophy  of 
interpretation  and  on  modern  educational 
methods.  She  has  contributed  articles  to 
'Music,'  'The  Etude,'  and  'The  Musician,' 
and  has  written  many  compositions  in  smaller 
forms  which  remain  unpublished.  [  R.7  ]

CHASE  COMPANY,  THE  A.  B.,  of  Nor- 
walk,  O.,  was  incorporated  in  1875,  originally 
for  the  making  of  reed-organs  of  high  grade. 
In  1885  piano-making  was  added,  and  speedily 
attained  significant  success,  as  attested,  for 
example,  by  high  awards  at  the  Columbian 
Exposition  in  1893.  The  Chase  pianos  are 
distinguished  for  excellence  of  tone  and  for 
beauty  of  external  form.  The  player-device 
.used  in  them  is  known  as  the  'Artistano.' 

CHAUTAUQUA  INSTITUTION,  THE, 
is  the  extensive  organization  that  has  been 
developed  from  the  Sunday  School  Assembly 
first  held  at  Chautauqua  Lake  in  western 
New  York  in  1874.  The  popularity  of  the 
initial  efforts  led  to  rapid  extensions,  both  in 
the  direction  of  summer-school  courses  and 
in  reading-  and  correspondence-courses,  cover- 
ing many  kinds  of  subjects.  Among  these  has 
been  special  provision  for  musical  instruction 
and  leadership.  The  musical  directors  have 
been  William  F.  Sherwin  in  1874,  Charles  C. 
Case  in  1875-86,  Horatio  R.  Palmer  in  1887- 
1901,  Alfred  Hallam  in  1902-19  and  William 
C.  Bridgman  from  1920.  The  advantages 
include  many  courses  of  instruction  by  well- 
known  teachers,  classes  in  singing  and  or- 
chestral playing,  and  numerous  recitals  and 
concerts.  In  1912  a  Music  Studio  was  erected 
in  memory  of  the  pianist  William  H.  Sher- 
wood.

CHICAGO  CONSERVATORY  OF  DRA- 
MATIC AND  MUSICAL  ART,  THE,  was 
founded  in  1885  by  Samuel  Kayzer,  who  had 
previously  been  dramatic  instructor  in  the 
Hershey  School.  Since  1907  the  president 
has  been  Walton  Perkins. 

CHICAGO  MADRIGAL  CLUB,  THE,  was 
organized  in  1900  by  D.  A.  Clippinger,  who  has 
been  its  only  conductor.  It  is  composed  of  60 
singers,  all  chosen  by  examination  as  soloists. 
Two  regular  concerts  are  given  each  season, 
with  several  extras  usually,  so  that  the  total 
number  up  to  the  present  is  about  150.  The 
Club  is  supported  wholly  by  its  sale  of  season- 
tickets.  In  1903  the  W.  W.  Kimball  Co.  estab- 
lished an  endowment  yielding  $100  annually, 
to  be  used  as  a  prize  for  the  best  madrigal  sub- 
mitted for  competition.  Nearly  900  composi- 
tions have  been  thus  submitted,  including  many 
notable  works  as  prize-winners.  About  50  com- 
positions have  also  been  written  for  the  Club 
by  various  American  composers. 

CHICAGO  MUSICAL  COLLEGE,  THE, 
was  founded  in  1867  by  Florenz  Ziegfeld, 
becoming  incorporated  in  1877.  He  re- 
mained its  active  head  for  nearly  fifty  years, 
and  is  now  president  emeritus.  With  him 
since  1905-06  have  been  associated  Felix 
Borowski  and  Carl  D.  Kinsey,  who  are  now 
president  and  vice-president  respectively. 
The  teaching-staff  numbers  over  100  and  the 
annual  enrolment  over  4000.  During  its 
history  more  than  90,000  students  have 
pursued  courses,  of  whom  nearly  3500  were 
graduated.  The  degree  of  Mus.B.  has  been 
given  to  about  150,  that  of  Mus.M.  to  about 
100,  and  that  of  Mus.D.  to  12.  The  College 
occupies  its  own  building  at  624  South 
Michigan  Avenue,  where  it  has  extraordinary 
conveniences.  Its  faculty  has  always  been 
notable  for  ability,  and  from  time  to  time 
it  has  been  augmented  by  a  system  of  guest- 
instructors. 

CHICAGO  MUSICAL  UNION,  THE, 
though  not  the  first  choral  society  in  Chicago, 
was  one  of  .the  first  to  exercise  a  positive 
influence.  It  was  organized  in  1857  and  con- 
tinued in  efficient  operation  till  1865.  Its 
first  conductor  was  C.  M.  Cady,  later  as- 
sociated with  George  F.  Root  in  the  firm 
of  Root  &  Cady.  He  was  followed  in  1860 
by  A.  L.  Coe  and  in  1863  by  Hans  Balatka. 
The  Union  undertook  both  sacred  and  secular 
works.  It  gave  'The  Creation'  in  1857  and 
'Elijah'  in  1860,  some  of  its  oratorio  concerts 
being  made  memorable  by  the  assistance  of 
Charles  R.  Adams  and  Christine  Nilsson.

In  1864  it  bought  out  Lortzing's  'Czar  und 
Zimmermann '  in  English,  arranged  by  Balatka, 
which  had  five  performances.  See  Upton,

CHICAGO  NORTH  SHORE  FESTIVAL 
ASSOCIATION,  THE,  of  Evanston,  111.,  or- 
ganized in  1908,  consolidates  work  previously 
undertaken  by  the  Musical  Clubs  of  Evanston 
and  Ravenswood,  111.,  and  the  School  of  Music 
in  Northwestern  University.  Its  object  is  to 
present  annually  a  series  of  superior  concerts. 
. usually  five  in  number,  of  which  three  are 
given  to  choral  music.  At  present  the  Festival 
chorus  numbers  about  600  voices,  but  at  times 
is  augmented  to  1100.  There  is  also  a  chil- 
dren's chorus  of  1500,  drawn  from  the  public 
schools.  The  concerts  are  given  in  the 
Gymnasium  of  Northwestern  University, 
which  seats  5000.  Their  artistic  excellence 
has  attracted  wide  attention  and  brought 
fame  to  the  conductor,  Dean  P.  C.  Lutkin, 
to  the  University  and  to  Evanston.  Among 
the  novelties  brought  forward  have  been 
Bantock's  'Omar  Khayyam,'  Harty's  'The 
Mystic  Trumpeter,'  Pierne's  'St.  Francis  of 
Assisi '  and  Smith's  '  Rhapsody  of  St.  Bernard ' 
(1918) .  In  addition,  works  by  Elgar,  Coleridge- 
Taylor,  Bath  and  Clutsam  that  are  compara- 
tively unknown  have  been  brought  out.  See 
notice  in  'The  New  Music  Review,'  July,  1910. 

CHICAGO  ORCHESTRAL  ASSOCIA- 
TION, THE,  organized  in  1891,  is  the  cor- 
porate name  of  the  trustees  of  the  Chicago 
(formerly  Thomas)  Symphony  Orchestra  and 
the  owners  of  Orchestra  Hall  on  Michigan 
Avenue,  built  in  1904.  See  Vol.  iv.  801-3. 

CHIC  AGO- PHILADELPHIA  OPERA 
COMPANY,  THE,  or  the  Chicago  Opera 
Association,  was  formed  in  1910  chiefly  from 
the  forces  previously  drawn  together  by 
Hammerstein  for  his  ventures  in  New  York 
and  Philadelphia.  Its  manager  in  1910-13 
was  Andreas  Dippel,  with  Cleofonte  Cam- 
panini  as  chief  conductor.  After  1913  the 
latter  was  manager  till  1915,  when,  the  original 
organization  having  become  bankrupt,  a  new 
one  was  formed  with  the  same  name,  Cam- 
panini  remaining  as  artistic  director,  with 
Bernhard  Ulrich  as  business  manager.  Until 
his  death  in  1919  Campanini  was  the  most 
influential  factor  in  the  enterprise,  which  he 
brought  to  a  high  pitch  of  artistic  perfection. 
In  1920  he  was  succeeded  as  artistic  director 
by  Gino  Marinuzzi.  Except  for  a  break  in 
1914-15  due  to  the  World  War,  regular 
seasons  have  been  presented  in  both  Chicago 
and  Philadelphia,  and  since  1918  in  New  York 
as  well.  The  Company  has  also  given  per- 
formances after  the  regular  season  in  other 
places.  The  list  of  novelties  includes,  in  1911, 
Herbert's  'Natoma,'  Wolf-Ferrari's  '  II  Segreto 
di  Susanna,'  Nougues'  'Quo  Vadis?'  and 


Massenet's  '  Cendrillon ' ;  in  1912,  Wolf-Fer- 
rari's 'I  Giojelli  della  Madonna,'  Parelli's 
'A  Lovers'  Quarrel'  and  Goldmark's  'The 
Cricket  on  the  Hearth' ;  in  1913,  d'Erlanger's 
'Noel,'  Zandonai's  'Conchita,'  Kienzl's  4Der 
Kuhreigen,'  Massenet's  'Don  Quichotte'  and 
Franchetti's  'Cristoforo  Colombo';  in  1914, 
Gnecchi's  'Cassandra';  in  1916,  Massenet's 
'  Cleopatre '  and  Buchhalter's  'A  Lovers'  Knot' ; 
in  1917,  Mascagni's  'Isabeau'  and  Hadley's 
'Azora';  in  1918,  Nevin's  'A  Daughter  of 
the  Forest'  and  Lazzari's  'Le  Sauteriot';  and 
in  1919,  Fevrier's  '  Gismonda,'  Catalani's 
'  Loreley,'  Leroux' '  Le  Chemineau '  and  Monte- 
mezzi's  '  La  Nave,'  besides  Borowski's  '  Bou- 
dour '  and  Carpenter's  '  The  Birthday  of  the 
Infanta'  (ballets). 

CHICAGO  SYMPHONY  ORCHESTRA, 
THE.  For  the  early  history,  see  Vols.  iv. 
801-3  and  v.  88.  After  the  death  of  Theodore 
Thomas  in  1905  the  conductorship  passed  to 
Frederick  A.  Stock,  who  had  been  his  assistant. 
Though  at  that  time  a  young  man  for  so 
responsible  a  position,  the  new  conductor 
speedily  established  himself  with  both  players 
and  public.  The  personnel  and  discipline  have 
been  steadily  improved  and  the  repertoire  kept 
fully  abreast  of  the  times.  In  recent  years  the 
Orchestra  has  toured  extensively.  About  75  con- 
certs are  given  annually  in  Chicago  and  about  25 
elsewhere.  The  usual  number  of  players  is 
about  90.  Since  1912  the  concertmaster  has 
been  Harry  Weisbach.  In  1915  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Sprague  Coolidge  gave  $100,000  as  a  pension- 
fund.  In  1916  she  gave  a  like  amount  (later 
increased  by  other  gifts  to  $237,500)  to  con- 
stitute the  Albert  and  Nancy  Sprague  Memorial 
Fund.  In  1918-19,  when  Mr.  Stock's  leader- 
ship was  temporarily  intermitted  (because 
he  had  not  then  acquired  full  American  citizen- 
ship), the  concerts  were  directed  by  Eric 
DeLamarter  and  various  visiting  conductors. 

From  the  excellent  program-books  prepared  by 
Felix  Borowski  it  appears  that  the  total  repertoire 
of  the  Orchestra  since  1891  comprises  works  by  over 
300  composers  and  covering  the  entire  field  of  sym- 
phonic and  concerted  literature.  In  this  list  are  the 
names  of  about  fifty  composers  who  are  Americans 
or  associated  with  America,  represented  by  about 
150  works,  including  the  following:  Paine's  2nd 
Symphony  and  'The  Tempest';  Gleason's  'Edris' 
and  'Song  of  Life';  Vogrich's  Violin  Concerto; 
Foote's  Tema  con  Variazioni,  'Cello-Concerto  and 
Suites,  opp.  36  and  63;  Chadwick's  3rd  Symphony,

CHICKERING,  JONAS  (Apr.  5, 1798,  New 
Ipswich,  N.  H.  :  Dec.  8,  1853,  Boston), 
was  trained  as  a  cabinet-maker.  In  1818  he 
became  an  apprentice  of  John  Osborn,  the  able 
Boston  piano-maker,  who  had  been  a  pupil 
of  Benjamin  Crehore  of  Milton.  In  1823 
James  Stewart,  a  Scotchman  who  had  come 
from  Baltimore  in  1820  to  work  with  Osborn, 
induced  Chickering  to  join  him  in  the  new 
firm  of  Stewart  &  Chickering.  Stewart  went 
back  to  England  in  1826.  In  1829  John 
Mackay,  who  had  gained  wealth  as  a  ship- 
captain  and  who  had  been  the  financial  backer 
of  Alpheus  Babcock,  the  inventor,  joined 
Chickering,  the  firm  name  being  Chickering 
&  Mackay.  This  partnership  was  highly 
successful,  since  Mackay  brought  considerable 
capital  and  was  a  vigorous  promoter  on  the 
commercial  side,  while  Chickering  devoted 
himself  to  technical  improvement.  They  were 
pioneers  in  developing  the  upright  type  of 
instrument.  In  1837  Chickering  applied  for 
a  patent  for  a  full  metal  plate  for  squares, 
but  the  application  was  held  up  on  a  techni- 
cality till  1840.  In  1843  his  full  metal  plate 
for  grands  was  patented,  together  with  a 
device  for  casting  the  agraffes  in  the  plate. 
In  1853,  at  the  time  of  his  death,  he  was  work- 
ing upon  a  metal  plate  that  should  provide 
for  overstringing.  After  1841,  when  Mackay 
died,  Chickering  proceeded  alone  until  he 
could  take  his  three  sons  into  the  business. 
Besides  becoming  famous  for  his  inventions 
and  for  the  notable  excellence  of  his  instru- 
ments, he  was  active  in  various  musical 
undertakings  in  Boston.  He  sang  in  the  choir 
of  the  Park  Street  Church  and  in  the  chorus 
of  the  Handel  and  Haydn  Society,  of  which 
from  1834  he  was  vice-president.1  For

CHICKERING  &  SONS,  of  Boston,  is  the 
name  of  the  piano-making  firm  founded  in 
1823  by  Jonas  Chickering  and  enlarged  by 
the  admission  of  his  sons  Thomas  E.  Chicker- 
ing (1824-1871),  Charles  Frank  Chickering 
(1827-1891)  and  George  H.  Chickering  (1830- 
1896) .  Of  these  the  second,  C.  Frank  Chicker- 
ing, especially  inherited  his  father's  genius 
as  inventor  and  designer,  in  token  of  which 
he  received  the  decoration  of  the  Legion 
d'Honneur  in  1867,  at  the  same  tune  that  the 
firm  won  first  prize  at  the  Paris  Exposition. 
In  1852  the  firm's  entire  stock  in  trade  was 
destroyed  by  fire,  the  loss  being  estimated  at 
a  quarter-million.  Despite  this  calamity, 
the  business  quickly  recovered  its  leading 
position.  Since  1908  it  has  been  absorbed 
into  the  American  Piano  Company.

CHITTENDEN,  KATE  SARA  (April  17, 
1856,  Hamilton,  Ont.),  is  descended  from  an 
old  Connecticut  family.  She  early  began 
piano-study  with  an  aunt,  continuing  with 
Jules  Fossier  and  Lucy  H.  Clinton.  She  was 
educated  at  Hellmuth  College,  London,  Ont., 
receiving  the  Dufferin  medal  for  art  in  1873, 
and  began  to  teach  there  at  seventeen.  In 
1876  she  came  to  New  York,  where  she  has 
since  been  constantly  engaged  as  a  teacher. 
In  1879  she  became  organist  at  Calvary 
Baptist  Church,  where  she  remained  for 
twenty-seven  years.  In  1890  she  was  elected 
head  of  the  piano-department  at  the  Catherine 
Aiken  School  in  Stamford,  Conn.,  retaining 
the  position  until  the  school  was  given  up  in 
1914.  In  1892  she  was  the  first  woman  to 
lecture  under  the  New  York  Board  of  Edu- 
cation, giving,  with  the  assistance  of  C.  Judson 
Bushnell,  baritone,  the  first  lectures  on  music, 
and  this  work  has  been  continued  until 
recently.  Her  connection  with  Vassar  College 
dates  from  1898.  In  1899  she  became  head 
of  the  piano-department,  and  since  practical 
music  was  recognized  as  an  elective  in  1918 
she  has.  been  assistant-professor.  In  1890 
she  became  associated  with  Albert  Ross 
Parsons  in  the  preparation  of  The  Synthetic 
Method.  The  first  part  only  was  issued,  as 
subsequently  it  was  deemed  advisable  that 
the  material  belonging  to  each  party  be 
published  separately,  in  sheet  form.  She 
joined  the  staff  of  the  (then)  Metropolitan 
Conservatory  in  1892.  This  was  later  re- 
organized as  The  American  Institute  of  Ap- 
plied Music.  In  the  Institute  she  is  now 
vice-president  and  dean  of  the  faculty  as  well 
as  president  of  the  trustees  of  the  Metro- 
politan College.  She  has  taught  over  3000 
piano-pupils,  and  has  specialized  in  the  train-

CHORAL  ART  CHOIR,  THE,  of  New 
Haven,  Conn.,  was  organized  in  1918  by 
George  C.  Stock.  It  is  a  mixed  chorus  of 
60  selected  voices  for  the  performance  of  the 
best  part-songs  and  cantatas.  The  conductor 
is  David  Stanley  Smith.  Two  concerts  are 
given  annually.

came leader  of  the  Cecilia. 

CHORAL  CLUB,  THE,  of  Hartford,  Conn., 
a  superior  male  chorus  of  70-80  voices,  was 
founded  in  1907.  It  gives  two  concerts  each 
year,  besides  occasional  performances  in  near- 
by cities.  Its  conductor  from  the  beginning 
has  been  Ralph  L.  Baldwin.  In  addition  to 
a  large  number  of  part-songs,  about  twenty- 
five  longer  works  in  cantata-form  have  been 
given.  American  compositions  have  always 
been  numerous  and  conspicuous,  among  them

CHORAL  SOCIETIES.  The  first  impetus 
in  the  direction  of  choral  music  in  America 
was  given  by  the  'singing-schools'  that 
sprang  up  in  New  England  from  the  middle 
of  the  18th  century.  From  one  of  these 
'schools'  came  in  1786  the  Musical  Society  of 
Stoughton,  Mass.,  which  though  apparently 
not  the  first  of  its  kind,  was  the  only  one  that 
has  endured  (see  list  at  end  of  Register,  2). 
The  organization  in  1815  of  the  Handel  and 
Haydn  Society  of  Boston  marked  the  solid 
beginning  of  permanent  societies.  To  this 
followed  in  1820  the  Musical  Fund  Society 
of  Philadelphia  and  in  1823  the  Sacred  Music 
Society  of  New  York.  Various  influences 
combined  to  foster  numerous  experiments  of 
the  same  general  sort  during  the  next  half- 
century  i  especially  in  the  East.  After  1850 
interest  in  choral  undertakings  began  to 
manifest  itself  in  Cincinnati,  Chicago  and 
Milwaukee,  often  stimulated  by  the  large 
proportion  of  Germans  in  the  population. 
After  about  1870  the  multiplication  of  choral 
societies  of  dignified  ambition  and  persistent 


energy  set  in  with  notable  results.  They 
have  now  become  so  numerous  that  no  ade- 
quate catalogue  of  them  is  practicable.1 

'CHOROPHONE'  is  the  trade-name  of  a 
small  pipe-organ  devised  by  the  Austin  Organ 
Company  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  to  supply  the 
needs  of  churches  that  cannot  afford  expensive 
instruments.  By  ingenious  extensions  and 
duplexing  of  a  few  stops  much  variety,  flexi- 
bility and  sonority  are  obtained.  There  are 
two  manuals  and  pedal,  controlled  from  a 
standard  console.

CHURCH  COMPANY,  THE  JOHN,  of 
Cincinnati,  was  founded  in  1854  by  John 
Church  as  a  music-publishing  business,  to 
which  was  added  dealing  in  all  kinds  of 
musical  merchandise.  After  the  Chicago 
fire  of  1871  this  Company  acquired  the  business 
formerly  carried  on  in  Chicago  by  Root  & 
Cady.  From  about  1875  it  shared  with 
Biglow  &  Main  of  New  York  the  publication 
of  the  'Gospel  Hymns'  series.  It  has  also 
given  much  attention  to  music  for  both 
instrumental  and  vocal  instruction,  and  of 
late  years  has  put  forth  many  works  of  still 
higher  class.  Since  about  1908  piano-making 
has  been  added,  and  the  Company  is  now  the 
owner  of  the  Everett  and  Harvard  pianos  as 
well.

[A  society  of  the  same  name  was  formed  in 
1852  by  Edward  Hodges,  the  organist  of 
Trinity  Church,  and  under  its  auspices  choral 
services  were  first  held  in  that  church.]

CHURCH  MUSIC  ASSOCIATION,  THE, 
of  New  York,  was  formed  in  1868  through  the 
efforts  of  George  T.  Strong,  with  Dr.  James 
Pech,  then  organist  of  St.  John's  Chapel,  as 
conductor,  succeeded  soon  by  Charles  E. 
Horsley.  Although  an  exclusive,  social  enter- 
prise and  by  no  means  limited  to  sacred  music, 
it  perhaps  prepared  for  the  foundation  in  1873 
of  the  Oratorio  Society. 

JCILEA,  FRANCESCO  (July  23,  1866, 
Palmi,  Italy).  See  article  in  Vol.  v.  624. 
His  'Poema  Sinfonico,'  for  solo,  chorus  and 
orchestra,  was  given  at  Genoa  in  1913.  In 

i  In  Who's  Who  in  Music,  1918,  a  list  of  over  400 
is  given,  which,  however,  is  far  from  complete.  It  is 
interesting  to  note  that  in  this  imperfect  list  there 
are  over  100  societies  more  or  less  of  the  'oratorio' 
class,  located  in  over  30  States,  besides  perhaps  15 
in  Canada.

1908  he  was  made  an  Officer  of  the  Order  of 
the  Crown  of  Italy.  He  was  director  of  the 
Conservatory  at  Palermo  in  1913-16,  and  since 
1916  has  been  director  of  the  Conservatory 
at  Naples. 

CINCINNATI  CONSERVATORY  OF 
MUSIC,  THE,  was  started  in  1867  by  Clara 
Baur,  who  continued  in  charge  till  her  death 
in  1912,  being  then  succeeded  by  her  niece 
Bertha  Baur.  Its  original  plan  was  more  or 
less  modeled  after  that  of  the  Stuttgart  Con- 
servatory. Emphasis  has  always  been  laid 
upon  general  education  in  connection  with 
special  musical  training,  both  by  requiring 
at  least  high-school  preparation  from  all  who 
seek  to  graduate,  by  providing  some  literary 
advantages  in  the  Conservatory,  and  by  urging 
all  looking  forward  to  a  musical  career  to  take 
a  general  college  course  besides  their  Con- 
servatory course.  Since  its  beginning  the 
Conservatory  has  maintained  a  summer- 
school,  which  has  contributed  much  to  its 
success.  The  instruction  is  arranged  in  five 
grades  —  Juvenile,  Preparatory,  Normal, 
Artist  and  Master.  The  faculty  numbers 
about  75.  The  usual  enrollment  is  from  1200 
to  1500.  A  noteworthy  feature  is  the  Student 
Orchestra,  which  for  more  than  thirty  years 
has  been  led  by  Pier  A.  Tirindelli.  The 
department  of  opera  is  also  strongly  empha- 
sized. In  1918  a  performance  of  Laparra's 
'La  Habanera'  was  given  to  the  satisfaction 
of  the  composer,  who  was  present.  Since 
1902  the  institution  has  occupied  spacious 
grounds  on  Highland  Avenue  with  four 
principal  buildings  finely  adapted  to  its  use. 

CINCINNATI  FESTIVALS.  See  Vol.  i. 
537-8.  The  long-extended  leadership  of 
Thomas  continued  till  1904,  when  he  was 
followed  till  1912  by  Frank  Van  der  Stucken, 
in  1914  and  1916  by  Ernst  Kunwald,  and  in 
1918  by  Eugene  Ysaye.  In  1906  Elgar  also 
conducted  four  of  his  own  works.  The  record 
of  principal  choral  works  is  as  follows  : 

1904.  Bach,  Mass  in  B  minor;  Elgar,  'The 
Dream  of  Gerontius  ' ;  Beethoven,  Missa  Solemnis. 

1906.  Elgar,  'The  Apostles,'  'The  Dream  of 
Gerontius';  Brahms,  Requiem;  Bach,  'Actus 
Tragicus';  Beethoven's  'Choral'  Symphony. 

1908.  Bach,  St.  Matthew  Passion;  Piern6,  'The 
Children's  Crusade.' 

1910.  Handel,  'Judas  Maccabseus';  Beethoven, 
Missa  Solemnis;  Berlioz,  'Les  Troyens.' 

1912.  Mendelssohn,  'Elijah';  Berlioz,  Requiem; 
Franck,  'Les  Beatitudes';  Wolf-Ferrari,  'La  Vita 
Nuova.' 

1914.  Bach,  Mass  in  B  minor;  Beethoven, 
'Choral'  Symphony;  Berlioz,  'The  Damnation  of 
Faust';  Verdi,  Requiem. 

1916.  Beethoven,  Missa  Solemnis;  Mendelssohn, 
'St.  Paul';  Pierne,  'The  Children's  Crusade.' 

1918.  Bach,  St.  Matthew  Passion;  Haydn,  'The 
Creation' ;  Kelley,  'Pilgrim's  Progress.' 

CINCINNATI  SYMPHONY  ORCHES- 
TRA, THE.  See  Vol.  iv.  803.  In  December, 


1909,  after  a  two  years'  interval,  the  Orchestra 
was  reorganized  with  a  competent  force  of  70 
players  under  Leopold  Stokowski,  who  rapidly 
brought  it  to  notable  efficiency.  On  his 
resignation  in  1912  Ernest  Kunwald,  formerly 
of  the  Berlin  Philharmonic,  succeeded  as 
conductor.  In  1913  the  players  were  in- 
creased to  85,  in  1914  the  regular  season 
lengthened  from  twenty-four  to  thirty-two 
concerts,  and  in  1915  the  Orchestra  became 
permanently  endowed  by  the  bequest  of 
$  700,000  in  the  will  of  Martha  Cora  Dow.  In 

1917  Kunwald  offered  to    resign  in  the  fall, 
but  was  persuaded  to  go  on.     In  December, 
however,  he  was  arrested  as  an  enemy  alien 
and  his  resignation  was  then  accepted.     In 

1918  various  guest-conductors  appeared,  in- 
cluding   Walter    Rothwell,    Victor    Herbert, 
Henry     Hadley,      Ossip     Gabrilovitch     and 
Eugene  Ysaye.     In    May   of   that  year   the 
latter  was  appointed  permanent  conductor. 

CISNEROS,  ELEONORA  DE,  nee  Broad- 
foot  (Nov.  1,  1880,  New  York),  made  her 
debut  as  Rossweise  in  'Die  Walkiire'  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  1900.  She  was 
then  a  pupil  of  Mme.  Murio-Celli,  but  had  not 
been  abroad.  On  Fjdouard  de  Reszke's 
advice  she  now  went  to  Paris  and  Italy  to 
study  with  his  brother  Jean,  Maurel,  Traba- 
dello  and  Lombardi.  Her  success  as  stage- 
soprano  was  immediate,  so  that  since  1902 
she  has  sung,  often  for  successive  seasons,  in 
all  the  leading  European  opera-houses  and  in 
Cuba,  Brazil  and  Australia  besides.  In  1906- 
08  she  was  a  principal  artist  at  the  Manhattan 
Opera  House  in  New  York,  leaving  for  Milan 
to  create  the  role  of  Clytemnestra  in  Strauss' 
'Elektra.'  In  1909  she  took  the  part  of 
Eboli  at  the  revival  of  Verdi's  'Don  Carlos.' 
In  1910  she  sang  in  'Aida'  at  the  inaugural 
performance  of  the  Chicago  Opera  Company, 
with  which  she  has  since  been  identified.  Her 
last  European  engagement  was  at  the  Champs 
Elys6es  in  Paris  in  1914,  when  she  sang  '  Tristan 
und  Isolde'  in  German.  In  1915-16  she  was 
with  the  Havana  Opera  Company.  She  has 
also  sung  in  concert  in  Honolulu  and  in 
Australia  and  New  Zealand.  In  1907  she 
married  Count  Francesco  de  Cisneros.  [  R.9  ]

and  at  Harvard  completed  the  course  in  three 
years,  receiving  his  A.B.  in  1908  magna  cum 
laude.  A  large  part  of  his  course  consisted 
of  work  in  composition,  orchestration,  etc.,

year,  receiving  the  degree  of  A.M.  with 
highest  final  honors  in  music  in  1909.  He 
also  won  the  Boott  Prize  in  1907  for  a  con- 
certed vocal  composition.  For  two  years  he 
was  conductor  of  the  Pierian  Sodality,  and  was 
elected  chorister  by  the  class  of  1909.  In 
1909-11  he  studied  in  Europe  as  Sheldon 
Fellow  of  the  University,  emphasizing  com- 
position in  Stuttgart  with  Schillings  and  the 
esthetics  of  music  at  the  British  Museum.  In 
1911  he  received  the  degree  of  Ph.D.  from 
Harvard,  presenting  original  compositions 
and  a  thesis  on  '  Modern  Tendencies  in  Musical 
Form.'  In  1911-12  he  was  assistant  in  music 
at  Harvard ;  in  1912-14  instructor  in  music 
at  the  Middlesex  School  in  Concord,  Mass. ; 
in  1914-15  acting  director  of  the  School  of 
Music  in  Gloucester,  Mass.  In  1915-19  he 
was  director  of  music  at  Dartmouth  College, 
with  leave  of  absence  for  service  as  band- 
leader with  the  73rd  Artillery,  A.  E.  F.,  in 
France.  In  1919  he  became  professor  of  music 
at  the  State  University  of  Iowa  in  Iowa  City. 
Since  1909  he  has  been  a  frequent  contributor 
to  the  Boston  'Evening  Transcript'  on  various 
musical  subjects.  In  1913  he  conducted  the 
Cincinnati  Symphony  Orchestra  for  two  weeks 
in  an  emergency  caused  by  Kunwald's  illness. 
His  compositions  include  the  tone-poem 
'Norge,'  for  orchestra  and  piano,  written  for 
the  centennial  of  the  Pierian  Sodality  in  1908 
(also  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra,  1909) ;

CLARKE,  HUGH  ARCHIBALD  (Aug.  15, 
1839,  near  Toronto,  Ont.),  was  the  son  of  the 
Canadian  organist  James  P.  Clarke,  who  was 
his  only  teacher.  He  came  to  Philadelphia 
in  1859,  served  as  organist  in  several  churches 
(till  1897),  and  for  some  years  conducted  the 
Abt  Male  Chorus.  In  1875  he  became 
professor  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
teaching  harmony,  counterpoint,  orchestration 
and  musical  form,  and  this  position  he  still 
holds.  In  1886  the  University  conferred  on 
him  the  degree  of  Mus.D.,  after  the  perform- 
ance of  his  overture  and  choruses  for  Aris- 
tophanes' 'Acharnians.'  He  has  also  written 
music  for  Euripides'  '  Iphigenia  in  Tauris,'  the 
oratorio  'Jerusalem'  (Philadelphia,  1891), 
a  piano-quartet  and  several  sonatas  for  violin 
and  piano.  Of  his  many  songs  a  few  are  pub- 
lished. His  treatises  on  Harmony  and 
Counterpoint  have  been  largely  used.  He  is 
also  the  author  of  The  Scratch  Club,  1888,  a 
Dictionary  of  Musical  Terms,  1896,  Music 
and  the  Comrade  Arts,  1899,  and  Highways 
and  Byways  of  Music,  1901.  As  an  educator 
and  lecturer  he  has  exerted  a  wide  and  salutary 
influence.  The  late  Dr.  Gilchrist  was  one  of 
his  pupils.  [  R.5  ]

CLARKE,  WILLIAM  HORATIO  (Mar. 
8,  1840,  Newton,  Mass.  :  Dec.  11,  1913, 
Reading,  Mass.),  at  sixteen  became  organist 
at  Dedham,  Mass.,  and  three  years  later  at 
Berkeley  Temple  in  Boston,  teaching  also 
in  the  Perkins  Institute  for  the  Blind.  In 
1871  he  became  music-superintendent  in  the 
schools  of  Dayton,  O.,  later  removing  to 
Indianapolis  as  organist  and  organ-builder. 
In  1878-87  he  was  organist  at  Tremont 
Temple  in  Boston.  After  retiring  in  1887 
he  was  much  sought  as  consulting-expert 
in  organ-building.  In  1890  he  erected  on  his 
estate  at  Reading  a  music-chapel,  'Clarigold 
Hall,'  which  contained  a  four-manual  organ 
of  100  stops.  Illness  prevented  his  plan  for 
establishing  there  a  school  for  organ-instruc- 
tion. He  wrote  An  Outline  of  the  Structure 
of  the  Pipe-Organ,  1877,  The  Organist's  Ret- 
rospect, 1896,  and  Standard  Organ-Building, 
1913,  and  besides  several  non-musical  books, 
prepared  instruction-books  for  piano,  organ 
and  voice,  and  composed  organ-pieces  and 
church-music.  Three  sons  took  up  musical 
careers,  Herbert  L.  Clarke  (b.  1867)  becoming

CLEMENS,  CHARLES  EDWIN  (Mar.  12, 
1858,  Devonport,  England),  had  his  first  ap- 
pointment as  organist  when  only  eleven.  He 
studied  under  local  teachers,  with  occasional 
lessons  from  cathedral  organists,  and  became 
active  as  pianist,  organist  and  viola-player. 
Going  to  London,  he  entered  the  Royal  College 
of  Music,  studying  piano  with  Pauer.  On 
Grove's  advice  he  finally  made  the  organ  his 
chief  study,  his  teachers  being  Weekes,  Martin 
and  Bridge.  From  1889  he  taught  organ  and 
harmony  at  the  Klindworth  Conservatory  in 
Berlin  and  was  organist  of  the  Royal  Chapel 
(English).  From  1896  he  was  organist  at 
St.  Paul's  in  Cleveland.  In  1899  he  began 
lecturing  on  music-history  at  Western  Reserve 
University,  and  soon  was  appointed  organist 
and  professor.  Since  1911  he  has  been 
organist  at  the  Euclid  Avenue  Presbyterian 
Church.  The  University  made  him  Mus. 
D.  in  1916.  His  Modern  Progressive  Pedal- 
Technique,  2  vols.,  1894  (Breitkopf),  and  The 
Modern  School  for  the  Organ,  1903  (Schirmer), 
are  both  popular  works.  A  treatise  on 
Harmony  is  still  unpublished,  though  used 
in  classes  at  the  University.  [  R.8  ] 

CLEMENS,  CLARA  (1871?,  Elmira,  N. 
Y.),  the  daughter  of  'Mark  Twain',  spent 
her  childhood  in  Hartford,  Conn.  She  was 
allowed  to  take  lessons  on  the  piano  when 
she  was  six  years  old.  Later  she  studied  with 
Moszkowski  and  also  Leschetizky.  Meantime 
her  voice  was  discovered  and  she  began  to 
prepare  herself  for  concert-singing,  abandoning 
the  piano.  In  1904  she  made  her  d6but  in 
Florence,  where  her  voice  was  likened  to 
Scalchi's,  but  her  career  was  then  interrupted 
by  several  years  of  illness.  In  1909  she  married 
the  Russian  pianist  Gabrilovitch,  and  in  1912 
resumed  singing  in  Germany  and  appeared 
often  in  the  principal  cities.  Since  1914  she 
has  been  in  America,  touring  extensively 
and  giving  recitals  both  alone  and  with  her

'CLEOPATRA'S  NIGHT.'  A  two-act 
opera  by  Henry  K.  Hadley,  the  libretto  by 
Mrs.  Alice  Leal  PoUock  (after  Gauthier).  It 
was  first  given  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House  on  Jan.  31,  1920. 

CLEVELAND  CONSERVATORY  OF 
MUSIC,  THE,  was  founded  in  1881.  Its  di- 
rectors have  been  Franklin  Bassett  from  1882 
to  1915  and  Charles  Heydler  since  1885.  For 
a  time  from  1888  it  was  affiliated  with  Western 
Reserve  University  as  a  music-department. 

CLEVELAND  SCHOOL  OF  MUSIC, 
THE,  was  started  in  1885  by  Alfred  Arthur, 
who  remained  at  its  head  till  his  death  in  1918. 

CLEVELAND  SYMPHONY  ORCHES- 
TRA, THE,  was  organized  in  1918  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Musical  Arts  Association,  in 
which  Mrs.  Adella  P.  Hughes  is  the  moving 
spirit.  The  aim  is  two- fold,  to  provide  superior 
concerts  for  patrons  and  to  serve  the  whole 
community  through  so-called  '  popular  '  per- 
formances. Under  the  skillful  leadership  of 
Nikolai  Sokoloff  both  purposes  have  been 
strikingly  achieved.  There  are  about  15  sym- 
phony concerts  and  at  least'  45  others,  besides 
many  outside  of  Cleveland.  The  larger  con- 
certs are  given  in  the  New  Masonic  Hall, 
erected  in  1919.  The  number  of  players  ranges 
from  75  to  85.  From  1920  Arthur  Shepherd 
is  to  be  assistant-conductor.  The  concertmas- 
ter  is  Louis  Edlin.  The  enterprise  is  in  part 
supported  by  a  considerable  maintenance-fund, 
secured  by  annual  subscription.  As  a  part  of 
its  plan  of  popular  education,  some  fifteen  of 
the  players  give  instruction^  n  their  instruments 
in  the  public-school  system. 

Besides  gradually  pushing  its  way  into  the 
general  symphonic  repertory,  the  Orchestra  has 
already  given  special  attention  to  American 
composition,  including  Beck's  Overture  to 
'Lara,'  Griffes'  '  Shojo,'  Herbert's  'American 
Fantasy,'  Hill's  '  Stevensoniana,'  Hopekirk's 
'  Sundown,'  two  movements  from  Kelley's 
'Aladdin'  Suite,  Loeffler's  'Pagan  Poem,' 
MacDo well's  'Indian  Suite,'  Rogers'  'The 
Name  of  France,'  Skilton's  'Two  Indian 
Dances,'  W.  G.  Smith's  'Autumn  Suite'  and 
two  pictures  of  Whithorne's,  '  The  Night '  and 
'  The  Rain.'  Several  choral  works  have  been 
given  with  the  Oberlin  Musical  Union  and  the 
Mendelssohn  choir  of  Pittsburgh. 

Earlier  orchestras  in  Cleveland  were  those 
led  by  George  Lehmann  in  1886-89  and  by 
Johann  H.  Beck  from  1899.

CLOUGH  &  WARREN  COMPANY,  THE, 
of  Detroit,  started  in  1850  as  Simmons  & 
Clough  and  gradually  built  up  a  fine  repu- 
tation as  makers  of  reed-organs,  particularly 
from  1870,  when  the  firm  was  reorganized 
under  its  present  name.  They  applied 
'  qualifying  tubes '  in  connection  with  the  reeds, 
securing  an  unusual  fullness  of  tone.  Adding 
the  making  of  pipe-organs,  from  1889  they 
were  interested  in  developing  the  Austin 
'universal  wind-chest.'  Since  1900  they  have

COLE,  ROSSETTER  GLEASON  (Feb.  5, 
1866,  Clyde,  Mich.),  was  educated  at  Ann 
Arbor,  Mich.,  graduating  from  the  University 
of  Michigan  in  1888.  While  in  college  he  took 
all  the  courses  in  theory  under  C.  B.  Cady. 
At  his  graduation  the  University  Musical 
Society  performed  his  lyric  cantata  'The 
Passing  of  Summer,'  composed  during  his 
senior  year.  For  two  years  he  taught  English 
and  Latin  in  high-schools.  While  in  Berlin 
in  1890-92  he  won  a  scholarship  in  the 
Konigliche  Meisterschule  under  Bruch.  Here 
Van  Eycken  was  also  his  teacher  in  counter- 
point and  composition,  Kogel  in  conducting 
and  Middelschulte  in  organ.  In  1892-94  he 
was  professor  at  Ripon  College  in  Wisconsin. 
In  1894-1901  he  was  at  Grinnell  College  in 
Iowa,  and  in  1907-09  at  the  University  of 
Wisconsin.  In  1901-07  and  since  1909  he 
has  lived  in  Chicago  as  composer,  lecturer, 
teacher  of  composition  and  theory,  and  musical 
writer.  Since  1908  he  has  been  in  charge 
of  the  music-courses  at  the  summer-session 
of  Columbia  University  in  New  York.  In 
1902  and  1909-10  he  was  president  of  the 
M.  T.  N.  A.  and  in  1912-14  dean  of  the  Illi- 
nois Chapter  of  the  A.  G.  O.  He  has  given 
much  time  to  composition.  His  'Symphonic 
Prelude,'  op.  28,  was  played  by  the  Chicago 
Orchestra  in  1915  and  has  since  been  repeated 
several  times,  and  his  overture  'Pioneer 
(1818-1918),'  op.  35,  was  played  by  the  same 
orchestra  on  Mar.  14-15,  1919,  the  composer 
conducting.  'The  Passing  of  Summer'  (1888) 
was  later  revised  and  published  as  op.  14.  A 
cantata,  'The  Broken  Troth,'  for  women's 
voices,  soli  and  orchestra,  was  performed  by  the 
Chicago  Teachers'  Chorus  in  1917.  Three  reci- 
tations with  musical  settings  are  'Hiawatha's 
Wooing,'  op.  20,  (published  1904),  'King Robert 
of  Sicily'  (1906)  and  'Pierrot  Wounded,'  op. 
33  (1917).  'King  Robert'  was  first  given  at 
a  Cincinnati  Orchestra  concert  in  1911,  and 
Bispham,  to  whom  it  is  dedicated,  has  used  it 
over  500  times.  For  the  tercentenary  anni- 
versary in  1920  of  the  settlement  of  Plymouth

had  no  occasion  to  conceal  them ;  and  the 
niche  which  he  made  for  himself  in  musical 
history  derives  its  individuality  from  the 
frankness  with  which  he  revealed  the  qualities 
which  were  the  inevitable  outcome  of  an  ex- 
ceptional and  interesting  combination  of  in- 
fluences.'  ('Musical  Times,'  October,  1912.)

COLLEGE  OF  MUSIC  OF  CINCINNATI, 
THE,  was  founded  in  1878  through  the 
enthusiasm  of  George  Ward  Nichols  and 
developed  through  the  progressive  liberality 
of  Reuben  R.  Springer,  to  whom  it  owes  its 
endowment  and  much  of  its  equipment. 
Theodore  Thomas  was  director  in  1878-80, 
but  resigned  because  of  disagreement  with 
Nichols  as  to  administrative  policy.  Nichols 
was  succeeded  as  president  in  1885  by  Peter 
Rudolph  Neff,  who  continued  till  1894.  In 
1894-99  Frank  Van  der  Stucken  was  director, 
and  in  1899-1920  Arnold  J.  Gantvoort  was 
general  manager.  From  the  first  the  College 
has  had  close  relations  with  the  Festival 
Association.  The  faculty  numbers  about  25, 
including  many  names  of  national  reputation. 
The  total  number  of  students  since  the  begin- 
ning has  been  about  30,000,  and  the  annual 
enrolment  is  about  700.  There  have  been 
about  500  full  graduates,  besides  perhaps 
1400  receiving  certificates.  The  College  has 
its  own  buildings,  which  contain  unusually 
commodious  concert-halls. 

COLLEGES,  MUSIC  IN.  The  American 
'college'  was  originally  an  adaptation  to 
colonial  conditions  of  a  type  of  institution  for 
higher  education  that  was  prevalent  in  Eng- 
land. The  pioneer  settlers  were  alive  to  the 
importance  of  training  intellectual  and  moral 
leaders.  Of  the  colleges  now  existing  2  date 
from  before  1700,  about  25  from  before  1800, 
and  about  35  from  before  1835.  Though 
technically  organized  in  somewhat  different 
forms,  these  really  exemplified  a  single  type. 
They  were  for  men  only,  especially  of  the 
upper  social  classes,  were  designed  to  prepare 
for  'the  learned  professions,'  especially  the 


ministry,  and  offered  a  fixed  four  years'  cur- 
riculum leading  to  the  degree  of  A.B. 

After  about  1835  the  number  of  these  in- 
stitutions increased  rapidly,  but  the  original 
type  was  either  much  modified  or  replaced 
by  new  types.  Colleges  for  men  gradually 
altered  the  balance  of  the  curriculum,  so  aa 
to  make  a  more  democratic  appeal  and  prepare 
for  varied  careers,  and  tended  to  allow  increas- 
ing freedom  in  the  choice  of  studies.  The 
new  types  included  colleges  for  women  only, 
those  for  both  sexes,  the  composite  'state 
universities,'  and  a  variety  of  special  or 
occupational  schools.  A  few  of  the  earlier 
colleges  had  had  something  of  a  true  'uni- 
versity' ideal,  and  others  adopted  it,  though 
without  dropping  or  minimizing  their 
'academic'  or  'collegiate'  departments.  In 
general,  except  in  the  case  of  the  'state  uni- 
versities' and  a  few  others,  all  colleges  are 
private  corporations  and  with  few  exceptions 
are  affiliated  with  some  religious  denomination, 
either  by  origin  or  by  present  administration. 
After  about  1835,  in  consequence  of  the  rapid 
expansion  of  the  country,  great  differences 
of  policy  and  standard  became  common  in 
different  sections.  Much  of  this  inequality 
still  persists,  though  with  a  tendency  toward 
a  degree  of  uniformity  through  competition 
or  mutual  agreement. 

The  number  of  institutions  counted  in  this 
general  class  by  the  United  States  Bureau  of 
Education  is  now  over  600.  Of  these,  those 
for  men  number  only  about  60  (almost  wholly 
in  the  East),  those  for  women  about  90 
(chiefly  in  the  East  and  South),  and  those 
for  both  men  and  women  at  least  350,  includ- 
ing the  'state  universities'  as  a  class.  The 
balance  are  special  institutions  not  important 
for  consideration  here. 

Music  as  a  topic  for  study  had  no  place  in 
the  older  curriculum.  It  did  not  appear  until 
differentiation  set  in,  and  even  then  for  a  long 
time  only  sporadically.  It  is  still  unusual 
in  colleges  for  men,  except  where  they  have 
expanded  into  universities.  But  in  almost 
every  divergent  type  it  has  been  emphasized 
—  in  colleges  for  women,'  in  those  for  men  and 
women,  in  state  and  most  other  universities, 
and  even  in  some  specializing  colleges.  The 
growth  of  this  recognition  has  become  so 
extensive  that  some  summary  statements  about 
it  are  demanded  here,  although  the  amount 
and  intricacy  of  the  data  at  hand  defy  satis- 
factory presentation  in  any  brief  form.1 

In  the  topics  that  may  be  offered  for  entrance 
to  many  colleges,  'music'  is  often  included,  but 
credit  is  confined  to  certain  lines  of  theory  or 
information  rather  than  expertness  in  per-

collected  than  it  has  proved  possible  to  use.

formance.  This  brings  the  colleges  into  rela- 
tion with  those  high  schools  that  offer  musical 
courses. 

Within  college  systems  two  distinct  policies 
are  in  evidence.  The  first  makes  music  a 
'chair'  or  'department'  like  other  subjects, 
with  a  professor  who  is  a  member  of  the  general 
faculty.  The  second  sets  music  apart  in  a 
distinct  'school'  or  'conservatory,'  with  its 
own  faculty  and  curriculum,  either  directly 
controlled  by  the  college  authorities  or  bound 
up  with  the  system  by  some  form  of  affiliation. 
In  a  few  cases  under  this  second  class  music 
is  grouped  with  drawing,  painting,  sculpture, 
architecture  or  other  expressional  arts  in  a 
'school  of  fine  art.'  Under  the  first  type 
access  to  music-courses  is  usually  limited  to 
those  fully  matriculated  in  the  college,  and  the 
courses  that  are  magnified  are  those  that  are 
readily  coordinated  with  other  courses  in 
science,  history  and  literature,  though  there 
is  an  increasing  tendency  to  allow  credit  for 
courses  in  musical  praxis  as  well.  Credit  in 
music  counts  (within  some  limitations)  toward 
the  A.B.  degree.  Under  the  second  type 
music-courses  are  usually  open  to  students 
not  otherwise  matriculated,  so  that  the 
institution  becomes  a  public  music-school 
(though  usually  with  requirements  for  admis- 
sion equivalent  to  those  in  the  college  proper) . 
To  college-students  credit  is  given  toward  an 
A.B.,  and  in  some  cases  this  degree  may  be 
taken  with  music  as  a  'major.'  The  topics 
most  universally  credited  are  harmony, 
appreciation  and  history,  though  the  exact 
method  of  credit  varies  much.  Work  in 
praxis  is  also  being  credited  more  and  more, 
though  with  much  natural  restriction.  For 
non-collegiate  students  full  music-courses 
usually  cover  at  least  four  years,  with  latitude 
as  to  emphasis  upon  an  instrument  or  the 
voice,  leading  generally  to  the  degree  of  Mus. 
B.  Less  strenuous  courses  lead  to  a  diploma 
of  graduation,  a  teacher's  certificate  (usually 
for  three  years'  work)  or  a  public-school 
certificate  (usually  for  two  years'  work).  In 
all  such  cases  the  student  is  required  to  follow 
a  somewhat  extensive  curriculum,  including 
some  subjects  not  musical.  But  many 
schools  also  admit  special  students  for  limited 
courses  of  their  own  choosing. 

Topics  that  are  taken  in  class,  especially  if 
for  college  credit,  are  generally  not  subject 
to  fees,  but  individual  lessons  are  as  a  rule 
charged  for  at  rates  that  vary  widely  in 
different  institutions.  The  use  of  rooms  and 
instruments  for  practice  also  involves  extra 
expense  to  the  student.  This  pecuniary  factor 
places  much  music-study  on  a  different  footing 
from  other  studies.  On  the  other  hand,  most 
institutions  that  emphasize  music  take  over 
into  their  general  budget  a  large  portion  of 


the  'overhead'  charges  of  the  department  or 
school. 

In  general,  theory-courses  include  rudi- 
mentary training,  appreciation  (usually  with 
considerable  demonstration),  harmony  (syn- 
thetic and  analytic),  form,  composition 
(often  extending  to  fugue  and  orchestration), 
history  (usually  lectures  and  demonstration 
combined),  pedagogical  methods  (especially 
for  public-school  work,  but  also  for  individual 
teaching),  and  sometimes  acoustics,  aesthetics 
and  the  relation  of  fine  art  to  culture.  The 
praxis-courses  usually  include  piano,  organ, 
violin  and  voice,  and  sometimes  a  variety  of 
other  instruments.  In  most  cases  there  are 
one  or  more  choruses  (often  large  oratorio- 
societies),  a  choir  and  one  or  two  glee-clubs. 
Orchestras  and  bands  are  becoming  increas- 
ingly common.  Many  institutions  have  at 
least  one  large  organ.  Several  have  musical 
libraries  of  importance.  Wherever  music 
is  emphasized  a  separate  building  is  provided, 
including  a  large  recital-hall,  often  with  an 
elaborate  equipment  of  practice-rooms,  etc. 
Extended  and  varied  opportunities  are  quite 
generally  offered  in  the  way  of  frequent  recitals 
and  concerts,  either  by  members  of  the  staff 
or  by  visiting  artists  and  organizations.  In 
many  cases  there  is  an  annual  'festival.' 
Thus  even  institutions  remote  from  musical 
centers  are  able  to  supply  a  certain  amount 
of  musical  demonstration  and  experience. 

The  pedagogical  consequences  of  bringing 
music-courses  into  close  connection  with  those 
in  other  subjects  are  obvious.  They  are 
forced  to  become  definite  and  systematic, 
so  as  to  be  stated  with  precision  and  be  subject 
to  periodic  examination.  This  is  evidently 
bringing  to  pass  a  notable  degree  of  stand- 
ardization. Emphasis  is  naturally  laid  upon 
securing  teachers  whose  training  and  quality 
are  comparable  with  that  in  the  rest  of  the 
faculty-body.  There  is  a  marked  tendency 
to  exalt  the  relation  of  music  as  a  discipline 
to  general  culture  rather  than  to  treat  it  as 
merely  a  means  for  securing  a  livelihood. 
Whatever  pervasive  influence  for  culture 
exists  in  the  institution  as  a  whole  reacts  on 
all  who  pursue  music,  even  as  special  students. 
Even  those  who  rank  as  only  music-students 
are  often  required  to  take  some  literary  or 
other  studies. 

It  is  impracticable  to  give  details,  except 
in  a  few  conspicuous  cases,  about  the  scope, 
organization  and  facilities  of  the  music-depart- 
ments or  schools  in  each  institution.  But 
the  following  register,  with  its  occasional 
notes,  will  have  some  utility.  In  each  case 
the  head  of  the  department  is  named  (the 
director,  dean,  professor  or  chief  instructor), 
with  the  total  number  in  the  music-faculty 
and  the  names  of  previous  heads  who  have

Girls'  schools  were  occasionally  undertaken 
in  New  England  from  about  1810.  After  1837 
more  significant  'seminaries'  began  to  be 
established,  including  Mount  Holyoke  in 
Massachusetts,  many  in  the  South,  and  some 
in  Ohio  and  Illinois,  but  only  two  or  three 
offering  anything  like  a  'college'  curriculum. 
After  the  Civil  War  the  number  increased 
and  the  standard  was  rapidly  raised.  There 
was  no  music-instruction  till  about  1860,  but  it 
has  now  become  almost  universal  (with  Sim- 
mons, Bryn  Mawr  and  Goucher  as  striking  ex-

3.     COLLEGES   FOR   MEN   AND   WOMEN 

Coeducation  in  colleges  first  appeared  in 
1833  at  Oberlin  and  from  1850  steadily  became 
more  common,  especially  in  the  State  Uni- 
versities as  they  were  founded  and  in  other 
institutions  in  the  Interior  and  the  West. 
(For  the  State  Universities,  see  article.)  As 
a  class,  colleges  of  this  order  tend  to  provide 
musical  instruction,  often  in  an  extended  and 
impressive  way.  They  are  often  notably 
successful  in  arousing  enthusiasm  for  choral 
music  of  different  grades.  While  the.  cultural 
ideal  is  usually  emphasized,  occupational 
preparation  is  also  provided  for,  especially 
as  regards  teaching.

COLLEGE  ENTRANCE  BOARD

COLLEGE  ENTRANCE  EXAMINA- 
TION BOARD,  THE,  is  an  association  of 
about  35  colleges  in  the  East  for  arranging 
and  holding  uniform  entrance-examinations 
in  various  subjects.  The  system  has  been 
so  successful  that  its  standards  have  been 
widely  adopted  throughout  the  country. 

The  present  requirement  in  music  is  confined 
to  harmony  and  the  test  is  wholly  in  writing. 
The  candidate  must  show 

(1)  The  ability  to  harmonize,  in  four  vocal  parts, 
simple  melodies  of  not  fewer  than  eight  measures, 
in  soprano  or  in  bass  —  these  melodies  will  require 
a  knowledge  of  triads  and  inversions,  in  the  major 
and  minor  modes;    and  of  modulation,  transient   or 
complete,  to  nearly-related  keys. 

(2)  Analytical    knowledge    of    ninth-chords,    all 
non-harmonic  tones,  and  altered  chords    (including 
augmented  chords). 

The  student  is  expected  to  have  a  full  knowledge 
of  the  rudiments  of  music,  scales,  intervals,  and  staff- 
notation,  including  the  terms  and  expression-marks 
in  common  use. 

Credit  for  passing  is  counted  as  'one  unit' 
towards  entrance  —  a  'unit'  representing 
'a  year's  study  in  a  secondary  school.'  The 
total  number  of  'units'  required  for  entrance 
is  usually  fifteen.

COLUMBIA  UNIVERSITY,  New  York, 
established  a  Department  of  Music  in  1896, 
when  a  fund  for  the  purpose  was  given  by 
Mrs.  E.  Mary  Ludlow  in  memory  of  her  son 
Robert  Center.  In  1906  this  was  trans- 
formed into  a  School  of  Music,  including 
courses  in  the  University  proper  and  in 
Teachers  College.  The  purpose  is  'to  teach 
music  historically  and  aesthetically  as  an  ele- 
ment of  liberal  culture,  to  teach  it  scientifically 
and  practically  with  a  view  to  training  mu- 
sicians who  shall  be  competent  to  teach  and 
to  compose,  and  to  provide  practical  training 
in  orchestral  and  choral  music.'  Most  of  the 
courses  in  praxis  are  given  in  Teachers  Col- 
lege, while  the  University  proper  emphasizes 
history,  theory  and  form,  but  also  maintains 
a  chorus  and  orchestra.  Edward  MacDowell 
was  professor  in  1896-1904,  and  Cornelius 
Rybner  in  1904-19.  Among  the  associate 
professors  have  been  Leonard  B.  McWhood 
in  1897-1910,  Charles  H.  Farnsworth  since 
1900  (Teachers  College),  Daniel  Gregory 
Mason  since  1910  and  Walter  Henry  Hall 
since  1913.  The  School  has  a  fine  library 
of  scores  and  books  about  music.  The 
Mosenthal  Fellowship,  awarded  biennially, 
and  the  Cutting  Fellowships  and  the  Pulitzer 
Scholarship,  awarded  annually,  afford  oppor- 
tunity for  advanced  study. 


COLUMBIAN  ANACREONTIC  SOCI- 
ETY, THE,  of  New  York,  probably  formed 
in  1795,  was  modeled  after  the  Anacreontic 
Society  of  London  (see  Vol.  i.  79-80),  though 
less  aristocratic.  It  fostered  attention  to 
glees  and  part-songs,  and  may  have  been  the 
first  in  America  to  attempt  melodrama.  The 
president  till  1799  was  John  Hodgkinson. 
See  Sonneck,  Concert-Life,  pp.  204-7. 

COMBS,  GILBERT  RAYNOLDS  (Jan. 
5,  1863,  Philadelphia),  from  his  fifteenth  to 
his  twenty-second  year  was  actively  engaged 
in  playing  the  organ,  piano  and  'cello,  teaching 
piano  and  violin,  and  directing  orchestras, 
operatic  companies  and  choruses.  By  these 
early  activities  he  was  prepared  for  his  later 
work  as  founder,  in  1885,  of  a  large  con- 
servatory (see  article  below).  For  twelve 
years  he  was  organist  at  the  Immanuel 
Presbyterian  Church,  later  musical  director 
at  the  South  Broad  Street  Baptist  Church 
and  for  six  years  organist  at  the  Tenth  Presby- 
terian Church.  As  composer  he  is  best  known 
by  his  piano-pieces,  but  he  has  written  in  all 
forms.  The  'Erato'  for  piano,  dedicated  to 
Godowsky,  the  'Romance,'  op.  17, ' Norwegian 
Dance,'  'Autumn'  and  'Wind  of  Memory'  are 
all  well  known.  His  'Reverie,'  op.  7,  for  vio- 
lin and  piano,  was  dedicated  to  and  often 
played  by  Schradieck.  His  Scotch  and  Irish 
songs,  and  many  instructive  pieces  for  piano 
and  violin,  have  been  much  used.  His  Science 
of  Piano-Playing  and  Introductory  Steps  to 
the  Science  of  Piano-Playing  are  published 
in  loose-leaf  ledger  form.  His  'Dramatic 
Symphony'  was  first  performed  in  1908. 
His  Ritualistic  Music  for  the  32nd  Degree 
A.  A.  S.  R.,  for  men's  voices  and  organ,  was 
written  for  the  Philadelphia  Consistory  and 
first  presented  in  1917.  The  orchestral  set- 
ting for  'Sheherazade,'  an  oriental  drama,  was 
given  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House, 
Philadelphia,  in  May,  1918.  He  is  a  member 
of  local  and  national  musical  organizations, 
one  of  the  founders  and  twice  president  of 
the  Sinfonia,  and  a  member  of  all  Masonic 
organizations.  [  R.7  ] 

COMBS  BROAD  STREET  CONSER- 
VATORY OF  MUSIC,  THE,  was  founded  in 
1885  by  Gilbert  R.  Combs,  who  has  remained 
at  its  head  ever  since.  Its  teaching-force 
numbers  about  80.  The  number  of  pupils 
is  over  2300,  and  the  total  since  foundation 
about  42,000,  including  about  200  full 
graduates.  The  Conservatory  is  highly  or- 
ganized for  efficiency  and  offers  a  wide  range 
of  opportunity  for  instruction  from  elementary 
to  advanced  grades.  Its  students  have  certain 
privileges  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 
Two  orchestras  are  maintained,  one  of  85 
members,  the  other  of  60.  The  Conservatory 
occupies  five  buildings  on  South  Broad  Street.

CONRIED,  HEINRICH  (Sept.  13,  1855, 
Bielitz,  Austria  :  Apr.  26,  1909,  Meran, 
Tyrol),  was  first  an  actor  at  the  Burg-Theater 
in  Vienna  and  with  traveling  troupes.  In 
1877  he  directed  the  Bremen  Stadt-Theater, 
and  in  1878  became  manager  of  the  Germania 
Theater  in  New  York.  Later  he  managed 
the  Thalia,  and,  with  Aronson,  produced 
light  opera  at  the  Casino.  In  1892  he  took 
charge  of  the  Irving  Place  Theater,  making 
it  the  leading  German  theater  in  the  country. 
After  Grau's  retirement,  in  1903,  he  became 
manager  of  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House 
and  organizer  of  the  Conried  Opera  Company. 
Signal  events  in  his  regime  were  the  first 
American  production  of  'Parsifal'  on  Dec. 
24,  1903,  which  Frau  "Wagner  tried  in  vain  to 
prevent  by  injunction,  and  the  single  render- 
ing of  Strauss'  'Salome'  on  Jan.  22,  1907, 
which  was  at  once  withdrawn  by  the  directors. 
In  the  San  Francisco  fire  of  1906  his  com- 
pany suffered  large  losses.  During  his  last 
two  years  at  the  Metropolitan  he  was  broken 
in  health,  and  in  1908  resigned.  [  R.6  ] 

CONSERVATORY  NACIONAL  DE  MU- 
SICA,  EL,  of  Mexico  City,  was  founded  in 
1868  and  is  a  constituent  part  of  the  Uni- 
versidad  Nacional.  The  directors  have  been 
Agustin  Caballero  in  1868-76,  Antonio  Bal- 
deras  in  1877-82,  Alfredo  Bablot  in  1882-88, 
Jos6  Rivas  in  1889-1906,  Gustavo  E.  Campa 
in  1907-08  and  1909-13,  Carlos  J.  Meneses  in 
1908-09,  Julian  Carrillo  in  1913-14,  Rafael  J. 
Tello  in  1914-15,  Jose  R.  Munoz  in  1915-17, 
and  Eduardo  Gariel  since  1917.  The  faculty 
includes  35  instructors  in  all  theoretical  and 
practical  branches,  with  considerable  emphasis 
on  dramatic  music.  The  number  of  pupils 
varies  from  about  400  to  over  800,  the  total 
since  foundation  being  about  28,000,  of  whom 
about  half  graduated.  The  institution  is  sup- 
ported by  a  subsidy  from  Mexico  City. 

CONVENTIONS,  MUSICAL.  Gatherings 
under  this  name  were  a  natural  development 
of  the  'singing-school,'  but  less  narrowly  local 
and  capable  of  more  varied  expansion.  Such 
occasional  assemblies  were  held  in  New  Hamp- 
shire in  1829-31  under  the  direction  of  Henry 


E.  Moore.  In  1834  the  Boston  Academy 
of  Music  started  a  normal  class  for  singing- 
school  teachers  which  in  1836  became  a  '  con- 
vention' by  adding  discussions  by  the  mem- 
bers and  in  1840  adopted  the  name  of  'The 
National  Musical  Convention'  (later  changed 
to  '  American ') .  At  one  time  this  enter- 
prise was  split  by  the  adherents  of  Mason 
and  Webb  respectively.  These  two,  with 
Hastings,  Bradbury,  Root,  Woodbury,  Baker 
and  Emerson,  were  active  promoters  of  the 
'convention'  idea,  not  only  in  New  England, 
but  in  the  West  and  South,  and  they  were 
followed  by  a  host  of  other  leaders.  The 
methods  naturally  varied  greatly,  but  usually 
combined  in  some  way  elementary  and  normal 
instruction,  with  practice  in  choral  singing 
of  a  popular  sort.  The  program  occupied 
three  or  four  days,  with  three  sessions  per 
day.  Though  at  first  no  emphasis  was  placed 
upon  concertizing  —  except  a  closing  '  ex- 
hibition '  —  more  or  less  demonstration  by 
teachers  in  attendance  and  even  recitals  by 
outside  artists  were  not  uncommon  later. 
In  spite  of  their  brief  and  casual  character, 
and  though  often  dominated  by  commercial 
interests,  the  many  'conventions'  held  from 
about  1845  for  twenty-five  years  or  more 
undoubtedly  exerted  a  beneficial  influence. 
Their  effort  to  provide  some  rudimentary 
training  for  adults  probably  contributed  to 
the  later  recognition  of  such  work  for  public- 
school  children.  Their  encouragement  of 
voluntary  combination  or  affiliation  led  di- 
rectly to  the  formation  (from  1876)  of  Music 
Teachers'  Associations  in  many  states  and 
of  the  National  Association  —  most  of  these 
bodies  still  retaining  the  name  'convention' 
for  their  annual  meetings.  Their  pedagogical 
purpose  was  presently  expanded  and  made 
more  efficient  by  what  were  called  'Normal 
Institutes,'  which  were  summer-schools  lasting 
three  weeks  or  more,  such  as  Root  started  in 
New  York  in  1852.  Thus  they  promoted 
interest  in  the  founding  of  permanent  music- 
schools.  From  them,  also,  may  have  come 
part  of  the  impulse  to  the  holding  of  'festivals' 
or  groups  of  concerts,  either  occasionally  (as 
the  Peace  Jubilees  of  1869  and  1872)  or 
regularly  (as  at  Worcester  and  elsewhere). 
That  the  movement  as  a  whole  had  value  and 
significance  is  attested  both  by  the  number  of 
earnest  men  who  sought  careers  as  'conven- 
tion-leaders' and  by  the  fact  that  many  later 
teachers  and  performers  gained  their  first 
musical  inspiration  from  these  leaders.

entered  the  Albany  Law  School,  graduating 
in  1861.  From  1875  he  was  in  law  practice 
at  Erie,  Pa.,  and  also  a  partner  in  the  Bur- 
dette  Organ  Company.  His  last  years  were 
spent  at  Highwood,  N.  J.  He  composed  an 
'American  Concert  Overture '  (1869),  based  on 
'Hail,  Columbia';  a  ' Festouvertiire '  (1870); 
six  German  songs  (Leipzig,  1856)  ;  and  an 
American  national  hymn,  'God  for  us'  (1887). 
He  left  in  manuscript  two  symphonies,  two 
oratorios,  several  overtures,  string-quartets 
and  quintets.  Of  his  hymn-tunes,  'What  a 
Friend  we  have  in  Jesus '  has  had  wide  use.  In 
1895  he  received  the  degree  of  LL.D.  from  Ruth- 
erford College.  He  was  an  inventor  as  well 
as  lawyer  and  musician,  and  endeavored  to 
establish  the  use  of  the  pronoun  'thon.'  He 
used  the  pen-name  'Karl  Redan.'  [  R.5  ] 

CONVERSE,  FREDERICK  SHEPHERD 
(Jan.  5,  1871,  Newton,  Mass.),  graduated  from 
Harvard  in  1893  with  highest  honors  in  music 
under  Paine,  and  his  Sonata  for  violin  and 
piano  was  then  performed.  For  two  years 
he  studied  piano  with  Baermann  and  com- 
position with  Chadwick,  and  then  went  to 
Munich  for  work  under  Rheinberger  at  the 
Royal  Academy.  On  his  graduation  in  1898 
his  Symphony  in  D  minor  had  its  first  per- 
formance. In  1899-1901  he  taught  harmony 
at  the  New  England  Conservatory  in  Boston, 
in  1901-04  was  teacher  of  composition  at 
Harvard,  and  in  1904-07  was  assistant- 
professor  there.  Since  1907  he  has  devoted

COOKE,  JAMES  FRANCIS  (Nov.  14, 
1875,  Bay  City,  Mich.),  was  educated  in  the 
New  York  schools  and  with  private  teachers. 
He  studied  music  there  with  W.  H.  Hall, 
Woodman,  Eberhard  and  Medorn,  and  with 
Meyer-Olbersleben  and  Hermann  Ritter  at 
the  Royal  Conservatory  in  Wiirzburg.  Be- 
ginning at  thirteen,  he  continued  teaching 
piano  in  New  York  for  over  twenty  years, 
developing  original  ideas  based  upon  psycho- 
logical experiments,  some  of  which  have  had 
wide  acceptance.  He  was  also  for  some  years 
organist  in  Brooklyn  churches,  conductor  of 
choral  clubs  and  vocal  teacher.  With  his 
wife,  nee  Betsey  Ella  Beckwith,  as  singer,  he 
has  given  many  recitals  and  lectures  on 
musical  history  and  interpretation.  He  has 
written  extensively  for  musical  periodicals  — 
for  three  years  was  correspondent  for  the 
'Neue  Zeitschrift  fur  Musik' and  the  'Musik- 
alisches  Wochenblatt,'  and  in  1901-05  pub- 
lished notes  of  extensive  investigations  of  the 
conservatory-systems  of  Europe.  Since  1907 
he  has  been  editor  of  'The  Etude'  in  Phila- 
delphia. The  results  of  conferences  with  great 
living  pianists  he  collected  under  the  title  Great 
Pianists  upon  Piano-Play  ing,  1913.  He  has  also 
published  The  Standard  History  of  Music,  1910, 
Mastering  the  Scales  and  Arpeggios,  1913,  Musi- 
cal Playlets,  1917,  and  Music-Masters  Old  and 
New.  Some  of  his  piano-pieces  and  songs  have 
had  large  circulation.  He  has  also  composed 
works  of  more  serious  character  as  yet  unpub- 
lished. He  was  president  of  the  Philadelphia 
Music  Teachers'  Association  in  1911-18,  of  the 
Writeabout  Club  in  1915-16,  of  the  Philadel- 
phia Drama  League  since  1917,  and  of  the 
Presser  Foundation  since  1917.  He  was  made

COPPET,  EDWARD  J.  DE  (May  28, 
1855,  New  York  :  Apr.  30,  1916,  New  York), 
was  of  Swiss  descent.  He  succeeded  his  father 
as  a  banker  and  stock-broker  in  New  York. 
In  1886  he  began  a  series  of  chamber-music  re- 
citals at  his  residence,  and  these  continued  till 
the  afternoon  before  his  death,  the  last  being 
the  1054th.  At  first  different  artists  were  en- 
gaged, but  in  1902  the  Flonzaley  Quartet  was 
organized  and  became  an  important  factor  in 
the  series.  The  name  Flonzaley  was  that  of  his 
summer-home  near  Vevey,  on  Lake  Geneva. 
Thanks  to  his  patronage,  the  Quartet  has  had 
the  opportunity  to  become  one  of  the  finest 
chamber-music  organizations  in  the  world. 
Since  his  death  his  policies  have  been  continued 
by  his  son  Andre.  See  Mason's  article  in  '  The 
Musical  Quarterly,'  October,  1916.  [  R.7  ]

Boston,  where  he  is  engaged  in  composition, 
vocal  teaching  and  coaching.  In  1918  he 
temporarily  abandoned  music  to  put  his  legal

CYRANO  DE  BERGERAC 


CROSBY     OPERA     HOUSE,     THE,     in 

Chicago,  was  built  in  1865  by  Uranus  H. 
Crosby  on  Washington  Street,  between  State 
and  Dearborn.  It  contained  by  far  the  best 
opera-auditorium  that  Chicago  had  had,  a 
music-hall,  art-gallery  and  numerous  studios 
for  artists  and  others.  It  was  opened  with 
opera-seasons  under  Grau  and  a  concert- 
season  under  Max  Strakosch,  and  for  a  time 
was  the  arena  for  much  good  music.  But  the 
investment  did  not  pay,  and  in  January,  1867, 
the  building  was  put  up  at  lottery,  but  in  some 
way  merely  transferred  to  Albert  Crosby, 
who  continued  it  with  curiously  diversified 
undertakings.  In  the  fall  of  1871  it  was 
renovated  at  large  expense  and  the  work  had 
just  been  completed  when  on  Oct.  8,  the 
day  before  it  was  to  be  reopened  with  a  concert 
by  the  Thomas  Orchestra,  it  was  destroyed 
in  the  great  fire.  See  Upton,  Musical  Mem-

1890  and  played  two  years  each  in  the  Colonne 
and  Lamoureux  Orchestras.  In  1894  he 
became  professor  at  the  Lyons  Conservatory. 
Meanwhile  he  studied  singing  with  Dauphin, 
and  in  1899  made  his  d6but  as  tenor  at  the 
Theatre  des  Arts  in  Rouen.  Then  followed 
six  years  at  La  Monnaie  in  Brussels,  seven 
at  Covent  Garden  and  four  (1906-10)  at  the 
Manhattan  Opera  House  in  New  York. 
Since  1910  he  has  been  with  the  Chicago  Opera 
Company.  He  took  the  role  of  Lohengrin 
at  Bayreuth  in  1908  and  in  Berlin.  He  sings 
in  French,  Italian  and  German,  and  has 
appeared  in  'Thais,'  'Louise,'  'Pell6as  et 
M61isande,'  'Salome,'  'Samson  et  Dalila,'

DAMROSCH,  FRANK  HEINO  (June  22, 
1859,  Breslau,  Germany).  See  article  in  Vol. 
i.  656-7.  He  was  educated  in  the  public 
schools  and  the  College  of  the  City  of  New 
York.  Among  his  piano-teachers  was  Joseffy. 
In  1879  he  went  to  Denver  because  he  wished 
to  make  his  own  way  on  his  merits.  He 


and  was  appointed  music-director  in  the 
public  schools  in  1884.  Among  his  many 
engagements  as  choral  conductor  in  or  near 
New  York  after  1885  the  most  important  was 
with  the  Oratorio  Society,  which  continued 
till  1912.  In  1905  he  became  director  of  the 
Institute  of  Musical  Art,  founded  and  en- 
dowed by  James  Loeb,  and  still  occupies  this 
position.  The  aim  of  his  life  has  been  to  spread 
the  appreciation  and  culture  of  good  music 
among  all  classes.  The  People's  Singing- 
Classes  have  initiated  thousands  of  wage- 
earners  into  the  choral  works  of  the  great 
masters.  The  Symphony  Concerts  for  Young 
People  are  training  children  and  adults  to 
appreciate  symphonic  music.  The  Musical  Art 
Society  emphasizes  the  old  Flemish  and  Italian 
masters,  such  as  Palestrina  and  Orlando  di 
Lasso,  and  also  the  modern  schools  of  a 
cappella  singing,  appealing  to  a  highly  cul- 
tivated taste.  The  Institute  of  Musical  Art 
provides  for  serious  and  talented  students 
the  best  obtainable  musical  education,  equal 
to  that  of  the  foremost  European  conserva- 
tories. He  has  written  Some  Essentials  in  the 
Teaching  of  Music,  1916,  and  has  edited  many 
choral  works,  particularly]  for  the  Musical  Art 
Society.  In  1904  he  received  the  degree  of 
Mus.D.  from  Yale  University.  [  R.7  ] 

DAMROSCH,  LEOPOLD  (Oct.  22,  1832, 
Posen,  Germany  :  Feb.  15,  1885,  New 
York).  See  article  in  Vol.  i.  656.  Dr.  Dam- 
rosch  was  of  commanding  presence  and  strong 
character.  Although  his  constitution  was 
not  robust  he  had  an  impressive  fund  of 
energy  and  magnetism.  All  his  life  he  strove 
with  every  fiber  of  body  and  spirit  for  the 
realization  of  the  highest  art-ideals  and  was 
able  to  communicate  his  zeal  to  all  about 
him.  On  his  arrival  in  America  he  found  the 
old  Italian  operas  esteemed  the  greatest  treat 
of  the  musical  season.  Symphonic  music 
was  presented  with  mechanical  precision  in 
execution,  but  failed  to  render  the  spirit  of 
the  music.  Oratorios  were  performed  in 
a  tedious  and  perfunctory  manner.  Against 
opposition  from  the  established  forces,  he 
gradually  attracted  the  cooperation  of  men 
and  women  of  true  culture  with  whose  help 
he  organized  the  musical  societies  mentioned 
in  Vol.  i.  and  gained  the  opportunity  to  bring 
the  true  genius  of  the  great  masters  to  the 
consciousness  of  the  musical  public.  It  was 
often  a  struggle  against  ignorance,  indifference 
and  ill-will,  but  by  his  energy,  perseverance 
and  knowledge,  by  his  high  artistic  perception, 
and  by  the  charm  of  his  personality,  he 
succeeded  in  winning  the  admiration  and

confidence  of  the  lovers  of  good  music.  In- 
deed, the  great  advance  in  the  appreciation 
and  culture  of  music  in  America  during  the 
last  forty  years  dates  from  the  years  of  his 
activity  in  New  York  and  is  largely  due  to 
his  labors.  [  R.6  ] 

DAMROSCH,  WALTER  JOHANNES 
(Jan.  30,  1862,  Breslau,  Germany).  See  arti- 
cle in  Vol.  i.  657.  He  is  still  conductor 
of  the  New  York  Symphony  Society,  which 
was  endowed  in  1914  by  Harry  Harkness 
Flagler,  its  president,  with  an  annual  income 
of  $100,000.  In  1917  he  also  returned  to  the 
conductorship  of  the  New  York  Oratorio 
Society.  He  directed  the  first  American 
productions  of  Tchaikovsky's  Fifth  and  Sixth 
Symphonies,  Brahms'  Fourth,  and  Elgar's 
First  and  Second ;  Saint-Saens '  '  Samson  and 
Delilah,'  Tchaikovsky's  'Eugene  Onegin' 
and  Wagner's  'Parsifal.'  His  opera  'Cyrano 
de  Bergerac'  was  performed  at  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House  on  Feb.  27,  1913;  the 
comic  opera  'The  Dove  of  Peace'  (libretto 
by  Wallace  Irwin)  at  Philadelphia  and  New 
York  in  1912 ;  his  incidental  music  to 
Euripides'  'Iphigenia  in  Aulis'  in  California 
in  1915 ;  and  he  has  also  composed  incidental 
music  to  Euripides'  '  Medea '  and  Sophocles' 
'Electra.'  He  received  the  degree  of  Mus. 
D.  from  Columbia  University  in  1914.  The 
numerous  and  country-wide  tours  of  the 
orchestras  under  his  direction  have  done 
much  for  the  enlargement  of  popular  acquaint- 
ance with  standard  orchestral  works,  besides 
introducing  many  novelties.  In  1920  the 
Symphony  Society,  under  his  leadership, 
made  an  extended  tour  in  Europe.  At  Rome 
he  was  made  a  member  of  the  Order  of  the 
Crown  of  Italy.  [  R.7  ]

DANN,  HOLLIS  ELLSWORTH  (May  1, 
1861,  Canton,  Pa.),  after  graduating  from  the 
Canton  High  School  in  1878,  attended  the 
Elmira  Business  College  and  the  Rochester 
School  of  Music,  and  continued  his  musical 
education  for  several  years  with  private 
instructors  in  Boston.  He  received  the 
degree  of  'Mus.D.  from  Alfred  University 
in  1906.  In  1887-1903  he  had  charge  of 
public-school  music  in  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  In 
1906  he  became  the  head  of  the  department 
of  music  in  Cornell  University.  Under  his 
direction  the  Cornell  Music  Festival  and  the 
Cornell  Glee  Club  have  become  renowned. 
In  1910  he  established  courses  in  the  Univer- 
sity summer-school  for  training  supervisors 
and  teachers  of  music,  which  has  become 
a  foremost  agency  of  its  kind.  In  1918-19 
he  was  song-leader  at  Camp  Taylor  in  Ken- 
tucky. In  1919  he  was  chorus-conductor  for 
the  National  Music  Supervisors'  Conference, 
and  was  made  president  of  the  Conference 
for  1920.  He  has  contributed  much  to 
public-school  music,  through  text-books, 
pamphlets  and  papers.  Since  1910  he  has 
published  Christinas  Carols  and  Hymns,  The 
School  Hymnal,  Assembly  Songs,  2  vols., 
Standard  Anthems,  vol.  1,  and  The  Hollis 
Dann  Music  Course,  in  seven  grades,  with  a 
Manual  for  Teachers.  [  R.7  ] 

DANNREUTHER,  GUSTAV  (July  21, 
1853,  Cincinnati),  after  preliminary  lessons 
from  local  teachers,  was  sent  by  his  brother 
Edward  to  study  in  Berlin,  where  at  the 
Hochschule  in  1871-73  his  violin-teachers 
were  Joachim  and  De  Ahna.  After  six 
months  in  Paris  he  went  to  London,  where 
he  taught  and  played  for  four  years.  In 
1877  he  returned  to  America  and  joined  the 
Mendelssohn  Quintette  Club,  with  which 
he  traveled  for  three  years.  He  then  settled 
in  Boston  as  teacher  and  player.  With 
C.  N.  Allen  and  Wulf  Fries  he  played  in 
the  Beethoven  String  Quartette,  and  for 
two  years  was  with  the  then  newly-organ- 
ized Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  under 
Henschel.  In  1882-84  he  directed  the  Buffalo 
Philharmonic  Society  and  gave  about  sixty 
chamber-concerts.  Coming  to  New  York 
in  1884,  he  founded  the  Beethoven  Strins 
Quartette  (from  1894  till  1917  known  as  tho 
Dannreuther  Quartet)  which  was  a  leading 
chamber-music  organization.  Lately  he  has 
devoted  himself  entirely  to  teaching.  He 
has  pubb'shed  Elementary  Scale-  and  Chord- 
Studies  for  the  Violin  (Breitkopf)  and  has 
in  manuscript  an  extensive  work  on  violin- 
technique.  [  R.6  ]

In  New  York  he  not  only  joined  himself  to 
Garcia  in  1825-26,  but  largely  through  his 
efforts  the  French  tenor  Montressor  under- 
took an  opera-season  late  in  1832  at  the 
Richmond  Hill  Theater,  which  failed  after 
thirty-five  performances.  He  then  promoted 
the  erection  of  the  Italian  Opera  House  at 
Church  and  Leonard  Streets,  which  was  opened 
on  Nov.  18,  1833,  with  a  company  led  by 
Rivafinoli.  Six  Rossini  operas  and  one  each 
by  Cimarosa,  Pacini  and  Salvioni  (conductor 
of  the  company)  formed  the  repertoire,  and 
the  deficit  after  eight  months  was  $30,000. 
His  Memorie,  4  vols.,  were  published  in  New 
York  in  1823-27.  He  was  buried  in  the 
Catholic  Cemetery  on  East  Eleventh  Street, 
but  in  a  grave  unmarked.  See  Krehbiel,

JDAVEY,  HENRY  (Nov.  29,  1853, 
Brighton,  England),  as  he  possessed  an 
exceptional  memory,  was  very  successful 
in  his  school-days.  In  his  youth  he  assisted 
in  his  father's  business.  At  20  he  went  to 
Leipzig  and  studied  piano,  composition  and 
especially  harmony  for  three  years.  He 
then  lived  at  Brighton  as  teacher  and  writer 
on  musical  subjects  till  he  retired  in  1903. 
Literary  work,  particularly  Shakespearean 
research,  has  since  been  his  principal  occu- 
pation. Besides  many  articles  in  The  Dic- 
tionary of  National  Biography,  he  has  written 
much  in  various  English,  German  and 
American  musical  journals.  His  principal 
works  are  The  Student's  Musical  History,  1891 
(7th  ed.,  1919),  History  of  English  Music, 
1895  (revised  edition  preparing),  Handel,  in 
Masterpieces  of  Music,  1912,  and  apprecia-

Riemann's  Geschichte  der  Musik  seit  Beethoven 
(1900)  and  in  Soubies'  Histoire  de  la  Musique, 
lies  Britanniqucs.  His  most  important  lit- 
erary work  is  the  Memoir  in  the  Stratford 
Town  Edition  of  Shakespeare.  An  extensive 
commentary  on  Shakespeare's  works  is  well 
advanced.

solf6ge  medal  for  three  successive  years,  in 
1877  the  second  prize  for  piano,  in  1882  a 
prize  for  counterpoint  and  fugue,  and  two 
years  later  the  Prix  de  Rome.  In  Italy  in 
1887  he  composed  his  'Printemps'  for  orches-

filue '  and  a '  Fantaisie '  for  piano  and  orchestra. 
The  dates  in  the  appended  list  indicate  the 
progress  after  his  return.  The  'Prelude  a 
1'Apres-Midi  d'un  Faune,'  first  performed 
in  1894,  and  published  eight  years  later,  was 
his  first  work  to  attract  general  attention. 
Ten  years  were  spent  on  'Pelleas  et  M61isande,'

DECKER,  MYRON  A.  (1823-1901).  See 
Register,  4. 

DECKER  &  SON  is  a  well-known  piano- 
making  business,  founded  at  Albany,  N.  Y., 
in  1856  by  Myron  A.  Decker.  In  1864  it  was 
removed  to  New  York  and  took  its  present 
name  in  1875,  when  Frank  C.  Decker  was 
admitted.  He  is  now  its  president.

DEGREES  IN  MUSIC,  ACADEMIC.  In 
the  United  States  the  right  to  confer  academic 
degrees  is  vested  in  universities  and  colleges 
by  the  charters  which  they  hold  from  the 
States  as  such,  not  from  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment. The  anomalies  and  infelicities  in 
American  practice  about  such  degrees  which 
are  often  noted  arise  both  from  the  excessive 
freedom  with  which  the  right  has  been  granted 
and  with  which  it  has  sometimes  been  exercised. 
In  those  subjects  in  which  a  gradation  of  de- 
grees is  observed  that  of  'Bachelor'  is  given 
on  the  completion  of  a  stipulated  course  of 
undergraduate  study,  that  of  'Master'  either 
for  the  completion  of  a  further  or  post-graduate 
course  or  for  the  execution  of  some  meritorious 
piece  of  professional  work,  but  in  the  United 
States  that  of  'Doctor,'  except  in  medicine 
(and  allied  subjects)  and  'philosophy,'  has 
usually  been  given  honoris  causa — a  practice 
obviously  open  to  abuse. 

It  is  said  that  the  first  instance  of  the  degree 
of  Mus.B.  was  in  1876  (Boston  University). 
The  use  of  it  as  marking  the  completion  of 
a  four-years'  course  in  music  (somewhat 
analogous  to  that  leading  to  A.B.)  gradually 
became  established  and  since  1900  has  been 
widespread.  The  degree  of  Mus.M.,  also 
resting  upon  some  form  of  examination,  has 
not  become  common.  There  is  no  definite 
consensus  as  to  the  requirements  for  either 
of  these  degrees,  though  the  standard  is 
evidently  being  advanced  by  most  institutions. 
Some  institutions  give  an  A.B.  'in  music'  for 
college  or  university  work  in  which  music 
has  been  a  'major'  subject.  As  a  rule,  the 
Canadian  universities  tend  to  follow  the  Eng- 
lish, practice,  giving  musical  degrees  only  upon 
examination  or  'exhibition.'  Composition 
figures  more  largely  with  them  than  with  insti- 
tutions in  the  United  States. 

For  obvious  reasons  there  is  nothing  in 
America  corresponding  to  the  Union  of 
Graduates  in  Music  in  England.  Indeed, 
there  is  little  information  accessible  as  to 
who  have  received  the  degree  of  Mus.D. 
For  this  reason  the  following  list,  compiled 
from  such  sources  as  are  at  hand,  may  be 
interesting  as  a  contribution  to  the  curious 
history  of  the  subject.  It  is  certainly  not 
complete  and  may  not  be  entirely  accurate, 
but  its  magnitude  is  at  least  surprising.

DE  KOVEN,  HENRY  LOUIS  REGINALD 
(Apr.  3,  1859,  Middletown,  Conn.  :  Jan. 
16,  1920,  Chicago),  was  the  son  of  a  clergy- 
man who  removed  to  England  in  1872.  He 
graduated  from  St.  John's  College,  Oxford, 
in  1879.  At  Stuttgart  he  studied  piano  with 
Speidel  and  Lebert  and  harmony  with  Pruckner, 
at  Frankfort  composition  with  Hauff,  at 
Florence  singing  with  Vannuccini,  at  Vienna

also  for  'Harper's  Weekly.'  In  1902-05  he 
conducted  the  Philharmonic  Orchestra  in 
Washington,  which  he  organized.  He  became 
from  1887  one  of  the  most  successful  American 
composers  of  light  opera,  the  list  of  works 
including

His  grand  operas  were  'The  Canterbury 
Pilgrims,'  produced  in  New  York  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  March,  1917, 
and  'Rip  van  Winkle,'  produced  in  Chicago 
and  New  York  in  January,  1920  —  the  li- 
brettos in  both  cases  being  by  Percy  Mackaye. 
In  addition,  he  wrote  upwards  of  400  songs  — 
many  very  popular  —  piano-pieces,  a  piano- 
sonata  (unpublished) ,  an  orchestral  suite  and 
several  ballets.  His  melodic  fertility  and  facile 
scoring  gave  him  a  unique  place,  somewhat 
analogous  to  that  of  Arthur  Sullivan.  [  R.  7  ] 

DE  LAMARTER,  ERIC  (Feb.  18,  1880, 
Lansing,  Mich.),  early  began  organ-study  with 
G.  H.  Fairclough  and  at  fifteen  was  choir- 
director  in  Kalamazoo,  Mich.  After  a  year  in 
Albion  College,  he  began  to  study  piano  with 
Mary  Wood  Chase  in  Chicago  and  organ  with 
Middelschulte.  While  still  in  his  teens  he  be- 
came organist  at  the  New  England  Congrega- 
tional Church  there.  The  year  1901-02  he  spent 
in  Paris  with  Guilmant  and  Widor.  In  1904- 
05  he  taught  at  Olivet  College  in  Michigan. 
In  1911  he  succeeded  Stock  as  director  of  the 
Musical  Art  Society  of  Chicago.  The  next 
year  he  became  organist  of  the  First  Church 
of  Christ,  Scientist,  and  since  1914  has  been 
organist  of  the  Fourth  Presbyterian  Church, 
where  his  frequent  recitals  present  notable 
programs,  especially  of  modern  works.  He 
was  music-critic  for  the  Chicago  'Record- 
Herald'  in  1908-09,  for  the  'Tribune'  in 
1909-10,  and  for  the  'Inter-Ocean'  since  1910. 
In  1918-19  he  acted  as  director  of  the  Chicago 
Symphony  Orchestra  in  Stock's  absence. 
His  overture  to  a  fantastic  comedy,  'The 
Faun,'  was  played  by  the  Chicago  Orchestra 
in  1915.  He  has  also  composed  chamber- 
music,  songs,  piano-  and  organ-pieces,  and 
incidental  music  for  plays.  [  R.8  ]

DEMAREST,  CLIFFORD  (Aug.  12,  1874, 
Tenafly,  N.  J.),  had  his  first  organ-lessons 
from  his  mother  and  became  her  substitute 
and  later  her  successor.  For  five  years  he 
studied  with  Woodman  in  Brooklyn.  At

DENNF.E,  CHARLES  FREDERICK 
(Sept.  1,  1863,  Oswego,  N.  Y.),  entered  the 
New  England  Conservatory  in  Boston  at 
sixteen,  graduated  in  1883,  and  ever  since 
has  been  a  teacher  of  piano  there.  His 
teachers  were  A.  D.  Turner  and  Mme.  Schiller 
in  piano,  and  Emery  in  composition;  he  also 
studied  with  Von  Biilow.  Until  disabled  by 
an  accident  to  his  right  wrist  in  1897,  he  was 
active  as  a  recitalist,  giving  over  1100  recitals 
in  the  United  States  and  Canada.  He  was 
one  of  the  pioneers  in  the  lecture-recital  field. 
As  a  teacher  he  has  exerted  a  wide  influence. 
His  lyric  and  comic  operas  are  'The  Defender/ 
'The  Belle  of  Newport,'  'Little  Red  Riding- 
Hood,'  'The  Merry-go-round,'  'The  Royal 
Barber,'  'The  Chorus  Girl'  and  'The  Electric 
Spark.'  An  overture  for  orchestra,  a  violin-

been  widely  used,  as  also  his  other  technical 
works.  There  are  four  sonatinas,  a  number 
of  etudes  and  a  large  group  of  characteristic 
pieces  for  piano,  besides  some  songs  and 
choruses.  He  was  editor  of  the  new  edition 
of  the  Century  Library  of  Music  and  of  certain

DfiTHIER,  GASTON  MARIE  (Apr.  19, 
1875,  Liege,  Belgium),  having  been  trained 
by  his  father,  at  twelve  won  a  scholarship  in 
the  Liege  Conservatory  over  sixty  competitors. 
He  graduated  at  seventeen,  winning  the  gold 
medal  for  piano-  and  organ-playing  and  the 
first  prize  for  fugue.  At  eleven  he  had  been 
organist  at  St.  Jacques'  in  Liege,  and  at  four- 
teen made  his  debut  as  concert-organist  at 
Malines.  He  came  to  New  York  in  1894  as 
organist  at  St.  Francis  Xavier's  on  the  recom- 
mendation of  Guilmant.  Since  1907  he  has 
forsaken  church-playing  for  concert-work 
and  for  duties  as  organ-teacher  at  the  In- 
stitute of  Musical  Art.  He  has  written  many 
popular  organ-works  (J.  Fischer  &  Bro.),  of 
which  the  caprice  'The  Brook'  is  an  especial 
favorite.  [  R.8  ] 

DETROIT  CONSERVATORY  OF  MU- 
SIC, THE,  was  founded  in  1874  by  Jacob  H. 
Hahn,  who  remained  its  director  till  his  death 
in  1902,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  Francis  L. 
York,  who  is  now  its  head.  The  annual  enroll- 
ment of  students  is  about  1600  and  it  has  over 
400  graduates.  The  faculty  numbers  about  70. 
Its  main  building  is  at  1013  Woodward  Avenue. 
The  Conservatory  has  always  been  managed 
with  notable  energy  and  breadth,  and  is  to 
be  counted  among  the  constructive  forces  for 
sound  musicianship. 

DETROIT  INSTITUTE  OF  MUSICAL 
ART,  THE,  was  founded  in  1914  and  has 
won  a  place  as  an  earnest  school  of ^  high 
aspirations.  Guy  Bevier  Williams  is  presi- 
dent, and  the  faculty  includes  about  50 
teachers.  It  is  located  at  1117-21  Woodward 
Avenue. 

DETROIT  SYMPHONY  ORCHESTRA, 
THE,  was  founded  in  1914  by  Weston  Gales 
and  conducted  by  him  till  1918,  when  he  was 
succeeded  by  Ossip  Gabrilovitch.  On  Oct.  23, 
1919,  the  Orchestra  dedicated  the  new  Orches- 
tra Hall,  built  for  its  use. 

DETT,  ROBERT  NATHANIEL  (Oct.  11, 
1882,  Drummondville,  Que.),  graduated  from 
the  Niagara  Falls  Collegiate  Institute  in  1903, 
attended  the  Halsted  Conservatory  at  Lock- 
port,  N.  Y.,  and  thence  went  to  the  Oberlin  Con- 
servatory, where  he  won  a  Mus.B.  in  1908  — 


probably  the  first  Negro  to  receive  this  degree 
for  original  composition.  Later  he  also  at- 
tended Columbia  University  in  New  York.  His 
teachers  in  composition  were  G.  W.  Andrews 
and  R.  G.  Cole ;  he  also  has  had  training  in 
community-music  with  P.  W.  Dykema.  He 
taught  for  three  years  at  Lane  College  in 
Jackson,  Miss.,  two  years  at  Lincoln  In- 
stitute in  Jefferson  City,  Mo.,  and  in  1913 
became  head  of  the  vocal  department  at 
Hampton  Institute  in  Hampton,  Va.,  and 
director  of  the  Hampton  Choral  Union.  As 
pianist  he  has  appeared  in  New  York,  Chicago, 
Boston,  Buffalo,  Philadelphia  and  other  cities. 
As  composer  he  has  shown  'how  the  charac- 
teristic accents  of  Negro  music  may  be  devel- 
oped into  genuine  art-forms,  without  resorting 
to  imitations  of  the  white  man's  music'  (G.  D. 
Gunn).  His  works  include 

Suite,  'The  Magnolia,'  for  piano  —  'Magnolias,' 
'The  Deserted  Cabin,'  'My  Lady-Love,' 
'Mammy,'  'The  Place  where  the  Rainbow

was  for  a  time  at  the  head  of  the  Cosmopolitan 
School  of  Music,  founded  the  Musical  Art 
Society  and  led  it  for  three  years,  conducted 
the  Musical  Club  in  Aurora,  111.,  the  Bach 
Choir  in  Dubuque,  la.,  and  the  Chicago 
English  Opera  Company,  and  was  organist 
of  St.  James'  (Episcopal)  Church.  In  1909 
he  removed  to  New  York,  becoming  organist 
at  the  Brick  (Presbyterian)  Church  and  the 
Temple  Beth-El,  and  since  1912  professor 
at  the  Union  Theological  Seminary,  besides 
being  for  a  time  conductor  of  the  Mendelssohn 
Glee  Club  and  of  the  Bach  Choir  of  Montclair, 
N.  J.  He  was  a  founder  of  the  A.  C.  O.,  and 
has  given  many  organ-recitals,  not  only  in 
the  United  States  and  Canada,  but  in  France, 
Germany  and  Spain.  His  published  com- 
positions include  many  vocal  solos  and 
choruses  for  men's,  women's  or  mixed  voices ; 
a  symphony  for  organ,  and  other  organ- 
pieces;  and  works  for  organ  and  stringed 
instruments.  He  has  edited  a  series  of 
Sacred  Choruses,  Ancient  and  Modern  (80 
numbers  thus  far),  the  texts  mostly  trans- 
lated by  Mrs.  Dickinson,  a  Historical  Recital 
Series  for  Organ  (27  numbers  thus  far),  a 
Book  of  Eighty  Amens  and  a  Book  of  Forty 
Antiphons  (in  press).  Among  his  unpublished 
compositions  are  two  light  operas,  'The 
Medicine-Man'  (Chicago,  1895)  and  'Priscilla.' 
With  his  wife,  Helen  A.  Dickinson,  he  has 
published  Excursions  in  Musical  History,  1917. 
He  also  contributed  to  The  American  En- 
cyclopedia of  Music,  1910.  [  R.7  ] 

DICKINSON,  EDWARD  (Oct.  10,  1853, 
West  Springfield,  Mass.),  graduated  from 
Amherst  College  in  1876  and  was  musically 
trained  mostly  at  the  New  England  Con- 
servatory and  by  Eugene  Thayer  in  Boston 
and  by  Klindworth  and  Langhans  at  Berlin. 
From  1872  he  was  organist  at  Springfield, 
Mass.,  and  in  1879-85  at  Elmira,  N.  Y., 
where  in  1883-92  he  was  also  music-director 
at  Elmira  College.  Since  1893  he  has  been 
professor  in  Oberlin  College  and  Conservatory, 
devoting  himself  to  the  development  of  a 
system  of  instruction  in  the  history  and 
philosophy  of  music  which  is  singular,  if  not 
unique,  for  scope,  thoroughness  and  efficiency. 
In  connection  with  this  work  as  teacher  he 
has  published  Music  in  the  History  of  the 
Western  Church,  1902,  The  Study  of  the  History 
of  Music,  1905  (3rd  ed.,  1914),  The  Education 
of  the  Music-Lover,  1911,  and  Music  and  the 
Higher  Education,  1915 —  all  works  of  sterling 
thought,  presented  with  much  earnestness 
and  vigor  of  expression.  He  has  also  written 
much  for  magazines  and  reviews.  In  1911 
Oberlin  College  made  him  Litt.D.  [  R.6  ]

DIPPEL,  JOHANN  ANDREAS  (Nov.  30, 
1866,  Kassel,  Germany) ,  was  originally  trained 
at  Kassel  in  1882-87  for  a  banking  career,  but 
also  studied  singing  with  Frau  Zottmayr.  He 
made  his  debut  as  tenor  at  the  Bremen  Stadt- 
Theater  in  1887  as  the  Steuermann  in  'Der 
fliegende  Hollander,'  and  pursued  further  stud- 
ies with  Hey  in  Berlin,  Leoni  in  Milan  and 
Ress  in  Vienna.  Until  1892  he  remained  at 
Bremen,  but  in  1890-91  sang  at  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House,  making  his  debut  in 
'Asrael'  in  1890  under  the  direction  of  Seidl. 
He  made  a  concert-tour  in  America  in  1892, 
sang  at  the  Breslau  Stadt-Theater  in  1892-93, 
and  then  spent  five  seasons  at  the  Vienna 
Imperial  Opera.  In  1898-1908  he  was  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  again,  singing  also 
at  Covent  Garden,  the  Munich  Royal  Opera 
and  the  Bayreuth  Festivals.  Then  came  two 
years  as  administrative  manager  of  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House  and  three  (1910-13)  as 
general  manager  of  the  Chicago-Philadelphia 
Opera  Company.  Since  1913  he  has  given 
light  opera  with  his  own  company.  As  a 
singer  he  has  an  unusual  repertory,  including 
about  150  German,  French  and  Italian  operas 
and  60  oratorios.  He  has  sung  some  roles, 
such  as  that  of  Raoul  in  'Les  Huguenots,'  in 
German,  French  and  Italian.  He  sings  all  the 
Wagnerian  works,  including 'Parsifal.'  [  R.8  ]

'DISAPPOINTMENT,  THE.'  A  comic 
opera  of  the  ballad  type  by  Andrew  Barton, 
which  was  rehearsed  for  performance  in 
Philadelphia  in  April,  1767,  but  withdrawn 
because  some  allusions  were  considered  too 
personal.  The  text  was  immediately  pub- 
lished in  New  York  and  a  second  edition  in 
1796  (with  additions).  The  songs  required 
numbered  eighteen,  among  them  being 
'  Yankee  Doodle '  —  apparently  the  first 
literary  reference  to  this  melody.  Unless 
Ralph's  'Fashionable  Lady'  (1730,  London) 
was  by  an  American,  this  is  the  first  American 
opera.  But  who  Andrew  Barton  was  is  not 
known.  By  some  the  name  is  conjectured 
to  be  a  pseudonym,  perhaps  used  by  John 
Leacock.  See  Sonneck,  'Early  American  Op- 
eras,' 7.  M .  G.  Sammelbde.  6.  433-50. 

DITSON,  OLIVER  (Oct.  20,  1811,  Boston 
:  Dec.  21,  1888,  Boston).  See  article  in 
Vol.  i.  707.  Ditson's  personal  career  is  in- 
timately interwoven  with  the  famous  busi- 
ness that  he  established.  His  family,  of 
Scottish  derivation,  for  two  generations  had 
been  identified  with  eastern  Massachusetts. 
After  a  common-school  education  he  was  from 
1823  clerk  in  the  book-store  of  Samuel  H. 
Parker,  who  was  one  of  the  original  trustees

of  the  Handel  and  Haydn  Society.  In  1826 
he  set  out  to  learn  the  printer's  trade,  first 
under  Isaac  R.  Butts,  who  printed  '  The  North 
American  Review,'  and  then  with  Alfred 
Mudge,  the  founder  of  a  house  later  famous. 
He  also  became  organist  at  the  Bulfinch  Street 
Church.  In  1835  he  set  up  for  himself  as 
music-seller  and  publisher,  and  in  1836  with 
his  former  employer  formed  the  firm  of  Parker 
&  Ditson,  dealing  in  pianos  and  music,  and 
soon  located  in  what  later  was  famous  as  'The 
Old  Corner  Bookstore'  on  Washington  Street. 
In  1842  Ditson  became  sole  proprietor  of  the 
business,  which  now  rapidly  expanded,  neces- 
sitating repeated  removals  to  larger  quarters. 
In  1845  John  C.  Haynes  was  employed  as 
clerk,  soon  demonstrating  such  capacity  that 
in  1857  he  was  taken  into  partnership. 
Probably  from  before  1850  the  printing  and 
engraving  was  put  in  charge  of  John  H.  H. 
Graupner,  the  son  of  Gottlieb  Graupner  (see 
Register,  2).  In  1860  a  branch  business  was 
established  in  Cincinnati  under  John  Church 
(from  1871  known  as  the  John  Church  Com- 
pany). In  1867,  through  the  purchase  of  the 
business  of  Firth,  Son  &  Co.  in  New  York 
(see  Register,  3),  another  branch  was  there 
constituted  under  the  name  of  Chas.  H. 
Ditson  &  Co.,  its  head  being  Ditson's  eldest 
son.  In  1875  the  stock  of  Lee  &  Walker  in 
Philadelphia  was  purchased  and  the  house 
of  J.  E.  Ditson  &  Co.  established,  led  by 
another  son  (discontinued  in  1910).  In  1877 
Ditson  absorbed  the  business  of  G.  D.  Russell 
&  Co.  in  Boston.  Thus  he  steadily  gained 
a  commanding  position  in  different  parts 
of  the  country  —  the  most  conspicuous  in- 
stance in  its  class  of  a  house  organized  by 
native  American  enterprise.  Besides  pub- 
lishing a  vast  amount  of  music,  popular  and 
artistic,  in  sheet-form  and  book-form,  he  was 
in  1858-78  publisher  of  'Dwight's  Journal  of 
Music,'  in  1878-1903  of  'The  Monthly  Musical 
Record'  (name  varied  later),  and  in  1903-18 
of  '  The  Musician.'  One  of  the  most  significant 
single  undertakings  has  been  the  building  up 
of  the  series  known  as  '  The  Musicians'  Library' 
(80  vols.  thus  far).  A  large  number  of  in- 
struction-books and  books  about  music  have 
also  been  put  forth.  In  1917  the  business 
removed  to  its  latest  building  at  178-9  Trem- 
ont  Street.  See  Fisher,  Music  in  Old  Boston, 
1918.  [  R.3  ] 

DITSON  COMPANY,  THE  OLIVER. 
From  1857,  when  Haynes  joined  Ditson,  the 
firm-name  was  Oliver  Ditson  &  Co.,  which, 
after  Haynes'  death  in  1907,  was  changed  to 
its  present  form,  Charles  H.  Ditson  becoming

Maas,  organ  with  Whiting,  theory  with 
Emery,  and  later  singing  with  Tinney  of  Lon- 
don. He  made  his  debut  as  concert-organist 
at  nineteen,  and  has  held  positions  as  organist

Mendelssohn  at  Leipzig,  came  to  New  York  in 
1848,  where  in  1851  he  gave  chamber-concerts 
with  Eisfeld,  and  from  1852  lived  in  Boston. 
Until  1868,  when  he  withdrew  from  concert- 
work,  he  was  the  leading  pianist  there,  and  until 
his  death  exercised  a  strong  influence,  partly 
through  articles  in  'D wight's  Journal.'  He 
was  a  close  friend  of  Franz,  and  made  a  piano- 
score  of  the  latter's  reorchestration  of  'The 
Messiah.'  He  also  prepared  an  edition  of 
'The  Well-Tempered  Clavichord.'  An  ex- 
ceptionally severe  critic  of  his  own  work,  he 
is  represented  by  only  a  few  piano-pieces  and 
songs,  but  these  have  been  highly  praised.

His  work  as  artistic  director  and  teacher  of 
composition  at  the  National  Conservatory  in 
New  York  in  1892-95  exercised  considerable 
influence  on  certain  features  of  American 
music.  Among  his  pupils  were  Rubin  Gold- 
mark,  W.  A.  Fisher,  H.  R.  Shelley,  H.  W. 
Loomis  and  Henry  Schoenefeld.  His  'New 


World '  Symphony,  op.  95,  his  string-quartet  in 
F,  op.  96,  and  his  string-quintet  in  E-flat,  op. 
97,  all  have  to  do  with  his  American  sojourn. 
Regarding  the  use  of  native  thematic  material, 
his  statement  in  'The  Century  Magazine'  for 
February,  1895,  may  be  quoted, : 

'A  while  ago  I  suggested  that  inspiration  for  truly 
national  music  might  be  derived  from  the  Negro 
melodies  or  Indian  chants.  I  was  led  to  take  the 
view  partly  by  the  fact  that  the  so-called  plantation- 
songs  are  indeed  the  most  striking  and  appealing 
melodies  that  have  been  found  on  this  side  of  the 
water,  but  largely  by  observation  that  this  seems 
to  be  recognized,  though  often  unconsciously,  by 
most  Americans.  All  races  have  their  distinctive 
national  songs  which  they  at  once  recognize  as  their 
own,  even  if  they  have  never  heard  them  before.  It 
is  a  proper  question  to  ask,  What  songs,  then,  belong 
to  the  American  and  appeal  more  strikingly  to  him 
than  any  others?  What  melody  will  stop  him  on 
the  street,  if  he  were  in  a  strange  land,  and  make  the 
home-feeling  well  up  within  him,  no  matter  how 
hardened  he  might  be,  or  how  wretchedly  the  tunes 
were  played?  Their  number,  to  be  sure,  seems  to 
be  limited.  The  most  potent,  as  well  as  the  most 
beautiful  among  them,  according  to  my  estimation, 
are  certain  of  the  so-called  plantation-melodies  and 
slave-songs,  all  of  which  are  distinguished  by  unusual 
and  subtle  harmonies,  the  thing  which  I  have  found 
in  no  other  songs  but  those  of  Scotland  and  Ireland.' 

To  the  list  of  compositions  may  be  added  op. 
112,  unpublished;  op.  113,  a  'Festgesang' 
for  chorus  with  piano  four-hands ;  a  '  Waldes- 
ruhe'  for  'cello  and  orchestra;  two  sym-

Overture';  a  'Rhapsodie'  in  A  minor;  and 
a  Berceuse  and  Capriccio  for  piano.  [  R.8  ]

He  was  the  first  strong  American  music-critic 
and  his  'Journal'  was  a  powerful  force, though 
decidedly  conservative.  Among  the  contrib- 
utors were  A.  W.  Thayer,  Otto  Dresel  and 
W.  S.  B.  Mathews.  As  the  latter  said  in  his 
Famous  Composers,  New  Series, 

'  'D wight's  Journal'  was  meant  as  the  organ  of 
the  new  movements  in  music,  and  during  its  earlier 
years  was  almost  exclusively  devoted  to  promoting 
the  claims  of  the  music  of  Schubert,  Schumann, 
Chopin  and  Mendelssohn,  and  it  looked  somewhat 
coldly  upon  the  extreme  advances  of  Berlioz,  Wagner 
and  Liszt.  .  .  .  The  great  value  of  the  'Journal' 
lay  in  its  sympathy  with  the  modern  romantic 
movement  in  music,  and  in  translating  fragments 
from  the  European  writings  of  Wagner  and  the 
other  new-comers.  ...  It  was  a  source  of  both

DYKEMA,  PETER  WILLIAM  (Nov.  25, 
1873,  Grand  Rapids,  Mich.),  has  been  directing 
vocal  and  instrumental  music  since  boyhood. 
After  gaining  his  master's  degree  at  the 
University  of  Michigan  in  1896  he  was  urged 
at  once  to  begin  college  teaching.  Instead, 
he  chose  to  become  a  high-school  teacher  of 
English  and  German  in  Aurora,  111.  After 
two  years,  for  further  experience,  he  moved 
down  to  be  principal  of  a  graded  school  in 
Indianapolis.  Three  years  later,  in  the 
Ethical  Culture  School  in  New  York,  he 
sought  to  deal  with  still  younger  children,  as 
well  as  students  beginning  college  studies. 


Thus  he  prepared  for  university  work  by 
knowing  thoroughly  the  preparatory  stages 
below.  Meanwhile  he  had  kept  up  musical 
studies,  first  with  Stanley  at  Ann  Arbor,  later 
with  Kelley  and  Cooper  in  Berlin  and  with 
Goetschius  in  New  York.  That  every  one 
could  and  should  sing  —  the  germ  of  the 
community-singing  movement  —  he  had  al- 
ways believed.  This  he  applied  from  about 
1901  with  audiences  at  lectures  under  Dr. 
Leipziger,  of  the  New  York  Board  of  Edu- 
cation. In  1913  he  went  to  the  University 
of  Wisconsin,  dividing  his  time  between  the 
School  of  Music  and  University  Extension. 
The  latter  work  was  naturally  called  'com- 
munity-music'—  perhaps  the  first  use  of  the 
term  for  certain  social  applications  of  music. 
The  primary  aim  was  to  get  the  people  of 
Wisconsin  to  sing.  But  he  also  tried  having 
children  do  song-composition  in  regular  school 
work  and  enlisted  them  in  performing  choral 
works.  He  headed  the  committee  that  pre- 
pared the  Fifty-five  Songs  and  Choruses  for 
Community-Singing  (Birchard),  and  is  iden- 
tified with  other  similar  publications.  As 
a  specialist  on  music  for  home,  school  and 
community  he  has  written  much  for  various 
journals.  He  is  now  publishing  a  work  on 
Community-Music.  [  R.8  1

EAMES,  EMMA  HAYDEN  (Aug.  13, 
1865,  Shanghai,  China).  See  article  in  Vol.  i. 
761.  Her  father  had  been  a  sea-captain  in 
the  East  India  trade,  but  took  up  law  and 
practiced  in  Shanghai.  Her  first  serious 
music-study  in  1882  was  with  Miss  Munger 
of  Boston,  with  encouragement  from  Paine 
and  Perabo.  She  soon  became  a  church-  and 
concert-singer.  Her  debut  in  'Romeo  et 
Juliette'  in  1889  was  in  immediate  succession 
to  Patti,  who  opened  the  season.  She  at  once 
became  a  favorite  in  Paris  and  London.  Late 
in  1891  she  made  her  American  debut  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  as  Juliette,  scoring 
a  brilliant  success,  particularly  as  she  was 
then  and  later  associated  with  the  De  Reszke 
brothers.  In  1892  she  sang  for  a  time  at 
Madrid,  but  in  later  years  limited  herself 
almost  exclusively  to  London  and  America. 
In  England  she  was  shown  notable  favor  by 
Queen  Victoria,  at  whose  Jubilee  she  sang  in 
1897.  Her  repertoire  included  25-30  roles 
and  the  impressiveness  of  her  combined 
qualities  of  voice,  artistic  instinct,  beauty  and 
skill  in  acting  continued  till  her  final  year  on 
the  stage  in  1908-09.  Having  been  divorced 
from  her  first  husband  in  1907,  in  1911  she  was 
married  a  second  time  to  the  baritone  Gogorza 
in  Paris.  In  1911-12  they  made  a  joint 
concert- tour.  Since  1914  she  has  lived  in 
retirement  in  Bath,  Me.,  but  in  1916  sang  in 
Portland  for  charity.  [  R.7  ] 

EAMES,  HENRY  PURMORT  (Sept.  12, 
1872,  Chicago,  111.),  spent  three  years  at 
Cornell  College  in  Iowa,  and  graduated  from 
the  law-school  of  Northwestern  University. 
He  studied  piano,  harmony  and  theory  with 
Mathews,  piano  with  Sherwood,  Mme.  Schu- 
mann, Kwast  and  (1908-09)  Paderewski. 
He  toured  in  America  with  Rem6nyi  in  1894- 
95,  has  appeared  often  as  pianist  in  recitals 
and  with  orchestras,  and  concertized  in  France 
and  Great  Britain  in  1908-11.  In  1898-1908 
he  taught  piano  and  lectured  on  theory  at 
the  University  School  in  Lincoln,  Neb.  In 
1911  he  founded  the  Omaha  School  of  Music, 
and  in  1912  moved  to  Chicago,  where  he  is 
head  of  the  piano,  orchestral  and  ensemble 
departments  in  the  Cosmopolitan  School  of 
Music.  In  1913-19  he  was  also  music-director 
at  the  Illinois  Wesleyan  University  at  Bloom- 
ington,  besides  work  at  Lake  Forest  College. 
In  1906  Cornell  College  made  him  Mus.D. 
He  was  president  of  the  Society  of  American 
Musicians  in  1916-17.  His  unpublished  works 
are  'The  Sacred  Tree  of  the  Omahas,'  a 
pageant-play  by  H.  B.  Alexander,  for  orchestra, 
soli  and  chorus,  and  a  suite  for  orchestra. 
Incidental  music  to  several  short  plays  has 


been  issued  by  Birchard  &  Co. ;  and  also  songs 
and  short  piano-works.  He  has  written  upon 
folk-music  and  the  relations  of  the  arts.  [  R.8  ] 

EARHART,  WILL  (Apr.  1,  1871,  Franklin, 
O.),  gained  his  reputation  as  director  of  school- 
and  community-music  largely  from  work  in 
Richmond,  Ind.,  in  1900-12,  though  he  had 
previously  been  supervisor  in  Ohio.  In  1912 
he  came  to  Pittsburgh  as  director  of  music  in 
the  public  schools,  carrying  out  his  progressive 
ideas  on  a  larger  scale.  Since  1913  he  has 
been  music-director  in  the  School  of  Edu- 
cation of  the  University  of  Pittsburgh.  He 
stresses  not  only  vocal  music  in  school-courses, 
but  also  instrumental  music,  ensemble-playing, 
theory  and  music-appreciation,  often  including 
extensive  studies  of  many  styles  and  periods. 
In  theory  he  emphasizes  ear-training,  analysis 
and  proficiency  in  the  use  of  materials.  His 
development  of  ensemble-playing  has  called 
forth  much  popular  interest,  besides  its  di- 
rect benefit  for  the  pupils.  He  has  strongly 
advocated  school-credit  for  music-study  done 
outside  high  schools,  and  his  plans  have 
been  widely  copied.  He  has  written  Music 
in  the  Public  Schools,  1914  (Bureau  of  Educa- 
tion, Bulletin  No.  33),  and  (with  Osbourne 
McConathy)  Music  in  Secondary  Schools, 
1917  (Bureau  of  Education,  Bulletin  No.  49). 
He  has  edited  Art-Songs  for  High  Schools, 
1910,  and  (with  C.  H.  Congdon)  The  Congdon 
Music-Primer  No.  1 ,  The  Congdon  Music-Reader 
No.  4,  and  (with  others)  The  School-Credit 
Piano-Course,  1918,  besides  many  articles.  He 
is  active  in  the  National  Educational  As- 
sociation, the  Music  Supervisors'  National 
Conference  (president,  1915-16)  and  other 
societies.  In  1920  he  was  made  Mus.D.  by  the 
University  of  Pittsburgh.  [  R.8  ] 

EASTERN  MUSIC  SUPERVISORS' CON- 
FERENCE, THE,  was  started  in  1918  as  a 
branch  of  the  national  organization,  intended 
mainly  for  New  England  and  the  Middle 
States.  Its  first  meeting  was  held  in  Boston, 
the  second  in  Hartford  and  the  third  in  New 
York.  The  president  for  1919-20  was  Howard 
C.  Davis  of  Yonkers,  N.  Y. 

EASTMAN,  GEORGE  (July  12,  1854, 
Waterville,  N.  Y.),  from  about  1880  the 
founder  and  energetic  promoter  of  the  ex- 
tensive photographic  manufacturing  business 
in  Rochester,  in  1919  announced  the  gift  of 
$3,500,000  for  the  establishment  of  the  East- 
man School  of  Music  in  that  city,  to  be 
administered  under  the  care  of  the  University 
of  Rochester.  In  1920  he  made  a  further  gift 
of  $1,000,000.  The  permanent  endowment- 
fund  will  be  over  $3,000,000.  In  addition 
to  all  the  usual  forma  of  instruction  in  a  music-

i-  768.  He  remained  as  organist  at  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church  in  Chicago  until  1896. 
His  repertoire  as  recitalist  includes  practically 
the  whole  literature  for  the  instrument.  He 
has  given  over  400  recitals  in  Chicago  alone, 
has  played  at  most  of  the  great  Expositions 
—  Philadelphia  in  1876,  Paris  in  1879,  Chicago 
in  1893  (21  recitals),  Buffalo  in  1901,  St. 
Louis  in  1904,  Jamestown  in  1907  and  San 
Francisco  in  1915  (40  recitals)  —  and  has 
probably  'opened'  more  organs  than  any 
other  organist.  He  has  edited  The  Church  and 
Concert  Organist,  3  vols.,  1882-  ,  The  Organ 
in  Church,  1887,  Concert-Pieces  for  the  Organ, 
Standard  Compositions  for  the  Organ,  2  vols., 
and  an  Organ-Method,  2  vols.  He  was  a

studied  organ,  piano  and  theory  for  five  years 


with  Illsley.  At  eighteen  he  was  organist 
for  a  year  at  the  church  of  St.  John  the  Evan- 
gelist, and  then,  on  the  Strathcona  scholarship, 
went  to  London  for  three  years  at  the  Royal 
College  of  Music.  Here  he  studied  organ  with 
Parratt  and  Alcock,  harmony  and  counter- 
point with  J.  F.  Bridge  and  Charles  Wood. 
He  was  also  organist  at  Emmanuel  Church 
in  West  Hampstead.  In  1913  he  became  a 
fellow  of  the  R.  C.  O.,  and  returned  to  Mon- 
treal to  succeed  W.  Lynnwood  Farnam  as 
organist  at  Christ  Church  Cathedral,  where 
he  still  is.  He  has  much  extended  the 
repertoire  and  given  special  attention  to  annual 
Lenten  recitals  of  choir-  and  organ-music, 
the  programs  ranging  from  Bach  to  modern 
composers.  He  teaches  organ  and  theory 
at  the  McGill  University  Conservatorium 
and  is  lecturer  and  administrator  of  the 
Knowlton  Church  Choir  Assembly,  which 
has  held  five  annual  conferences.  [  R.9  ] 

EICHBERG,  JULIUS  (June  13,  1824,  Diis-

teachers  were  also  Eichler  at  Mayence,  Fro- 
lich  at  Wiirzburg,  Meerts  and  de  Beriot  at 
Brussels.  Rietz  introduced  him  to  Mendels- 
sohn, who  gave  him  strong  commendation. 
At  Boston  he  was  for  a  time  music-supervisor 
in  tha  public  schools.  Besides  his  operettas 
he  wrote  some  chamber-music,  many  studies 
and  pieces  for  the  violin,  songs  and  the  patri- 
otic chorus  'To  thee,  O  Country,  great  and 
free.'  His  four  operettas  were  all  produced 
in  Boston— in  1862,  '65,  '70,  and  '74  (?).

EISFELD,  THEODOR  (Apr.  11,  1816,

Wiesbaden,  Germany),  having  studied  violin 
with  Karl  Miiller  at  Brunswick  and  composi- 
tion with  Reissiger  at  Dresden,  in  1839-43 
was  director  of  the  court-theater  at  Wiesbaden 
and  then  of  the  Concerts  Viviennes  at  Paris. 
In  1848  he  came  to  New  York,  where  he  exerted 
a  strong  artistic  influence.  In  1849-64  he 
was  conductor  of  the  Philharmonic  Society 
(alternating  more  or  less  with  Bergmann) 
and  from  1850  of  the  new  Harmonic  Society. 
In  1851  he  started  a  notable  series  of  chamber- 
concerts,  the  first  program  containing  Haydn's 
Quartet  in  B-flat,  Mendelssohn's  Trio  in  D 
minor  (Dresel  as  pianist)  and  Beethoven's 
Quartet  in  F.  In  1857  he  was  the  first  con- 
ductor of  the  Brooklyn  Philharmonic  Society, 
and  in  1864-66  alternated  with  Thomas 
there.  In  1866  he  retired  to  Wiesbaden. 
In  these  later  years  he  suffered  much  from 
the  effects  of  having  been  one  of  the  few 
survivors  at  the  burning  of  the  'Austria'  in 
mid-ocean  in  1858.  As  a  youth  he  had 
singing-lessons  with  Rossini,  and  was  later

ELGAR  CHOIR,  THE,  of  Hamilton,  Ont., 
was  organized  in  1904  and  gave  its  first  concert 
in  1905.  Its  conductor  from  the  first  has  been 
Bruce  A.  Carey,  whose  ability  has  given  the 
Choir  an  enviable  reputation  for  perfection 
of  choral  style.  The  membership  is  selected 
afresh  each  season  with  reference  to  quality 
and  balance,  the  numbers  varying  usually  from 
100  to  150  or  occasionally  more.  In  1911 
and  1918  the  work  of  the  Choir  was  suspended. 
As  a  rule  there  are  two  annual  concerts,  and 
performances  have  been  given  in  Toronto, 
Brantford,  Detroit  and  Buffalo,  making  a 
total  to  1918  of  25  concerts.  When  the  pro- 
jected Memorial  Hall  is  built  the  Choir  will 
have  a  permanent  headquarters,  and  will 
then  undertake  an  annual  festival  on  a  large 
scale.  Tke  main  purpose  is  to  promote  a 


cappella  singing,  but  oratorios  and  other 
concerted  works  are  occasionally  given.  In 
larger  performances  the  Choir  has  had  the 
assistance  of  the  Toronto  and  Pittsburgh 
Symphony  Orchestras  and  the  Buffalo  Orches- 
tral Club.  Besides  its  fine  record  in  general 
interpretation,  the  Choir  has  to  its  credit  the 
first  performance  in  Canada  of  Verdi's  Requiem 
(1909),  and  the  first  in  Canada  of  Verdi's 
'Laudi  alia  Vergine  Maria'  (1913),  Lucas' 
'Battle  Ode'  and  'Mariners  of  England,'  and 
Dett's  'O  Holy  Lord'  and  'Weeping  Mary'  — 
the  last  three  being  dedicated  to  it. 

ELMAN,  MISCHA  (Jan.  20,  1892,  Talnoe, 
Russia).  See  article  in  Vol.  v.  635.  His 
first  appearance  in  New  York  was  with  the 
Russian  Symphony  Orchestra  on  Dec.  10, 
1908,  playing  the  Tchaikovsky  concerto, 
followed  a  week  later  by  a  recital.  Since 
then  he  has  made  annual  tours  and  has  been 
heard  in  all  the  large  cities.  He  has  made 
transcriptions  for  violin  and  piano  of  many 
classic  compositions.  [  R.9  ]

ELSON,  LOUIS  CHARLES  (April  17,  1848, 
Boston:  Feb.  14,  1920,  Boston),  was  long 
prominent  as  lecturer,  teacher  and  writer  on 
musical  subjects.  His  first  studies  were  with 
his  mother,  Hamann  (piano)  and  Kreissmann 
(voice).  In  Leipzig  he  studied  composition 
with  Carl  Gloggner-Castelli.  He  composed  in 
smaller  forms,  songs,  operettas  and  piano- 
works,  but  his  chief  interests  were  literary. 
From  1882  he  was  head  of  the  theory-depart- 
ment of  the  New  England  Conservatory.  He 
lectured  at  many  leading  universities  and 
colleges,  including  Harvard,  Yale,  Vassar, 
Tulane,  Cornell,  Pennsylvania,  Brown  (15

lectures),  and  at  the  Lowell  Institute  (18 
lectures)  and  the  Drexel  Institute.  For 
seven  years  he  lectured  on  music  for  the  city 
of  Boston,  giving  some  240  lectures  with 
orchestra  and  singers  to  interest  the  masses. 
In  1880  his  literary  work  began  with  'Vox 
Humana,'  a  journal  devoted  to  organ-music, 
and  he  became  also  music-critic  for  the 
'Courier1,'  and  editor  of  'The  Musical  Herald.' 
From  1888  he  was  critic  for  the  'Daily 
Advertiser.'  He  was  also  correspondent  and 
contributor  to  the  'Transcript,'  'Music  and 
Drama,'  'The  Musical  Courier,'  the  New  York 
'Tribune'  and  'Evening  Post,'  'The  Atlantic 
Monthly,'  'The  Quarterly  Review,'  'The 
Etude,'  'The  Musician, '-'La  Revue  Musicale,' 
'Die  Musik'  (till  1914),  'Correo  Musical' 
(Buenos  Aires),  'The  Musical  Quarterly,' 
etc.  He  published  Curiosities  of  Music, 
1883,  German  Songs  and  Song-Writers,  1884, 
History  of  German  Song,  1886,  The  Theory  of

Music.  He  was  editor-in-chief  of  the  Uni- 
versity Encyclopedia  of  Music,  10  vols.,  1912, 
and  of  Modern  Music  and  Musicians,  20  vols., 
and  was  also  connected  editorially  with 
Famous  Composers  and  their  Works,  besides 
contributing  to  the  Standard  Encyclopedia  and 
the  Encyclopedia  Americana.  The  range  of 
his  interest,  his  geniality  of  spirit  and  a  lucid 
and  facile  style  combined  to  make  him  widely 
effective  in  upbuilding  an  intelligent  knowledge 
of  music.  [  R.6  ]

after  early  training  under  H.  S.  Edwards  in 
Portland,  went  to  Leipzig  in  1862  and  studied 
with  Plaidy,  Papperitz,  Richter  and  Haupt- 
mann,  then  at  Dresden  with  Spindler.  Re- 
turning in  1864,  he  first  located  in  Portland, 
but  soon  went  to  Boston,  becoming  teacher 
of  piano  and  harmony  at  the  New  England 
Conservatory  at  its  opening  in  1867.  Later 
he  was  also  professor  of  theory  and  com- 
position at  Boston  University.  He  was  for 
a  time  assistant-editor  of  'The  Musical 
Herald.'  At  the  Conservatory  he  remained 
till  his  death.  An  excellent  teacher,  he 


numbered  among  his  pupils  many  who  later 
became  important  in  various  parts  of  the 
country.  His  published  compositions  number 
about  150  —  songs,  piano-pieces,  part-songs, 
etc.  His  Foundation-Studies  in  Pianoforte- 
Playing  (written  for  his  own  children)  and  his 
Elements  of  Harmony,  1880,  have  been  widely 
used.  [  R.5  ]

New  York  and  started  a  series  of  such  com- 
panies. In  1858-65  he  was  associated  with 
Dan  Bryant  in  New  York,  writing  the  famous 
song  'Dixie'  in  1859.  In  1865-78  he  con-

Church  in  Chicago.  In  1914  he  became 
director  of  the  School  of  Music  and  organist 
at  the  University  of  Illinois  in  Urbana.  Since 
1915  he  has  also  been  state  inspector  of  music-

of  Music  Clubs,  and  a  member  of  many  com- 
mittees for  the  promotion  of  music  throughout 
the  country.  His  energetic  and  clear-headed

Estey.  The  present  heads  of  the  business  are 
J.  Gray  Estey  and  J.  Harry  Estey  of  the  third 
generation.  The  firm  suffered  from  fire  in 
1857  and  1864  and  from  flood  in  1869,  but  its 
progress  was  not  checked.  In  somewhat  over 
thirty  years  its  sales  increased  from  $2700 
annually  to  over  a  million.

FAELTEN,  CARL  (Dec.  21,  1846,  Ilmenau, 
Germany),  had  some  early  lessons  from 
Montag,  a  pupil  of  Hummel,  in  Weimar, 
and  for  years  supported  himself  by  casual 
playing  of  violin  and  clarinet  in  orchestras. 
From  1868  he  studied  piano  and  theory  with 
Schoch  at  Frankfort,  but  in  1870-71  was 
forced  to  serve  in  the  Franco-Prussian  War. 
After  1874  he  appeared  successfully  as  pianist 
in  several  cities.  From  1877  he  taught  in 
the  Hoch  Conservatory  at  Frankfort  under 
Raff,  after  the  latter's  death  in  1882  migrating 
to  America.  Three  years  were  spent  teaching 
at  the  Peabody  Conservatory  in  Baltimore, 
followed  by  twelve  at  the  New  England 
Conservatory  in  Boston,  where  in  1890-97 
he  was  director.  He  then  established  his 
own  Pianoforte  School,  which  he  has  developed 
in  conjunction  with  his  brother,  Reinhold 
Faelten  (b.  1856,  Germany),  with  marked 
success  (see  below).  Besides  often  appearing 
as  recitalist,  he  has  drafted  a  series  of  in- 
struction-books for  piano-students.  In  the 
preparation  of  this  'Faelten  System'  the  two 
brothers  have  collaborated.  [  R.7  ] 

FAELTEN  PIANOFORTE  SCHOOL, 
THE,  of  Boston,  was  founded  in  1897  by  Carl 
and  Reinhold  Faelten,  the  former  being 
director.  Although  emphasizing  piano-study, 
its  policy  has  been  to  magnify  general  musician- 
ship at  all  stages  of  progress.  About  four- 
fifths  of  the  students  are  in  the  preparatory 
department,  and  only  those  of  marked  ability 
are  encouraged  to  take  advanced  work.  A 
large  part  of  the  instruction  is  in  classes, 
conducted  along  somewhat  original  lines. 
The  faculty  numbers  twelve,  and  the  students 
nearly  700.  The  total  enrolment  has  been 
about  6000,  with  about  200  graduates.  The 
School  is  located  at  30  Huntington  Avenue. 

FAIRCHILD,  BLAIR  (June  23,  1877, 
Belmont,  Mass.),  came  of  musical  stock  and 
while  studying  at  Harvard  took  courses  with 
Paine  and  Spalding,  continuing  later  with 
Buonamici  at  Florence.  For  a  time  he  was 
pressed  to  enter  business  and  in  1901-03  was 
in  diplomatic  service,  as  attache  first  at 
Constantinople  and  then  at  Teheran.  Since 
1903  he  has  lived  in  Paris  as  student  under 
Widor  and  Ganaye  and  abundant  composer. 
Throughout  the  World  War  he  was  active  in 
relief- work.  His  works,  many  of  them  em- 
bodying impressions  or  material  derived 
from  his  sojourn  in  the  Orient,  include  the 
following :

J  FARJEON,  HARRY  (May  6,  1878,  Ho- 
hokus,  N.  J.).  See  article  in  Vol.  v.  639. 
His  father  was  the  English  novelist  B.  L. 
Farjeon,  so  that  he  has  always  been  a  British 
subject,  but  his  mother  was  the  daughter  of 
Joseph  Jefferson,  the  actor.  The  score  of  his 
'Summer  Vision'  was  lost  when  sent  to 
Germany  for  performance.  Recent  publi- 
cations include  Variations  in  A,  for  piano 
(Augener),  'Peter  Pan  Sketches,'  for  piano 
(Newman),  'Moorish  Idylls,'  for  piano  (Ash- 
down),  an  Air  upon  a  Ground-Bass,  and  the 
singing-game  '  Proud  Princesses ' ;  besides  the 
following  not  actually  out  —  Sonata  in  E,  for 
piano  (Ashdown)  and  'The  Ballet  of  the 
Trees'  (1915)  (Rogers).  Unpublished  are  a 
String-Quartet  in  B-flat,  a  'Poem'  for  violins, 
violas  and  orchestra,  a  Sonata  in  D,  for  'cello, 
'The  Ballet  of  the  Lake,'  the  ballet  'Terp- 
sichore,' Variations  on  a  Russian  Ah*,  for 
piano,  a  Fugue  for  piano  4-hands,  and  the  song- 
cycle  'The  Shepherds'  Garland.' 

FARNAM,  W.  LYNNWOOD  (Jan.  13, 
1885,  Sutton,  Que.),  had  early  piano-lessons 
from  his  mother,  Miss  M.  L.  Jackson  and 
G.  W.  Cornish,  and  in  1900-04  held  the 
Strathcona  Scholarship  at  the  Royal  College 
of  Music  in  London,  his  teachers  there  being 
Taylor  and  Sharpe  for  piano  and  Higgs, 
Sewell  and  Iloyte  for  organ.  In  1903  he 
became  A.  R.  C.  M.  and  in  1904  A.  R.  C.  O. 
Returning  to  Montreal,  in  1904-05  he  was  or- 
ganist at  St.  James'  (M.  E.),  in  1905-08  at  St. 
James  the  Apostle's,  and  in  1908-13  at  Christ 
Church  Cathedral.  In  1913-18  he  was  at 
Emmanuel  Church  in  Boston,  and,  after  a 
year  in  the  Canadian  army,  in  1919-20  at  the 
Fifth  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church  in  New 
York,  and  is  now  at  the  Church  of  the  Holy 
Communion.  [  R.9  ] 

FARNSWORTH,  CHARLES  HUBERT 
(Nov.  29,  1859,  Cesarea,  Turkey),  was  the  son 
of  missionary  parents,  had  a  general  education 
at  Robert  College  in  Constantinople,  and 
studied  music  in  Boston  and  Worcester. 
From  1876  he  was  organist  and  teacher  at 
Worcester.  In  1888  he  became  the  first 
music-teacher  in  the  University  of  Colorado 
at  Boulder,  where  he  also  taught  in  the  public 
schools  and  conducted  choral  and  orchestral 
societies.  In  1900  he  came  to  New  York, 
becoming  in  1901  head  of  the  department  of 


music  and  speech  in  Teachers  College  at 
Columbia  University,  which  he  has  strongly 
developed.  Popular  education  in  music  has 
been  his  main  object,  and  he  has  specialized 
in  the  systematic  treatment  of  public-school 
music  and  in  musical  appreciation.  He  is 
author  of  Education  through  Music,  1909,  How 
to  Produce  and  Listen  to  Music,  The  Teaching 
of  Elementary  Music,  co-author  of  Tonal 
Phrase-Book,  editor  of  Songs  for  Schools, 
1907,  Grammar-School  Songs,  1916,  and  co- 
editor  of  Folk-Songs,  1916,  Chanteys  and  Sing- 
ing-Games, and  The  Children's  Hymnal.  He 
has  written  articles  on  music-teaching  in  several 
recent  educational  works  in  the  M.  T.  N.  A. 
Proceedings  and  in  various  periodicals.  In 
1911-12  he  was  president  of  the  New  York 
Clef  Club  and  in  1913-14  of  the  M.  T.  N.  A. 
[  R.6  ] 

FARRAR,  GERALDINE  (Feb.  28,  1882, 
Melrose,  Mass.),  began  singing-lessons  at 
twelve  with  Mrs.  J.  H.  Long  of  Boston,  and 
at  thirteen  sang  in  concert  in  Boston.  She 
studied  in  New  York  and  Washington,  in 
Paris  with  Trabadello  and  in  Berlin  with 
Graziani  and  Lilli  Lehmann.  In  1901  she 
made  her  debut  as  Marguerite  in  'Faust' 
at  the  Berlin  Royal  Opera  House.  Her  suc- 
cess led  to  her  being  retained  for  three  years, 
with  repeated  renewals,  and  to  engagements 
at  Stockholm,  Warsaw,  Munich,  the  Opera- 
Comique  in  Paris,  and  Monte  Carlo.  Her 
American  d6but  was  at  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House  in  November,  1906,  as  Juliet  in 
'Rom6o  et  Juliette.'  Her  repertory  includes 
the  parts  of  Marguerite  (in  'Faust,'  'Mefisto- 
fele,'  and  'La  Damnation  de  Faust'),  Manon, 
Micaela,  Carmen,  Mignon,  Elizabeth,  Tosca, 
Zerlina  and  Elvira,  Juliet,  Gilda,  Violetta, 
Thais,  Angela  (in  'Le  Domino  Noir'),  Char- 
lotte (in  'Werther'),  Susanna  and  Cheru- 
bino  (in  'Figaro'),  Mimi,  Madama  Butterfly, 
Desdemona,  Elsa  and  Eva.  She  was  the 
first  to  sing  the  principal  roles  in  Mascagni's 
'L'Amico  Fritz'  (1905),  Camondo's  'The 
Clown '  (1905),  Saint-Saens'  'L'AncStre'  (1906), 
and  Humperdinck's '  Konigskinder '  (1910) .  She 
married  the  actor  Lou  Tellegen  [Von  Dom- 
melen]  in  1916.  Highly  gifted  as  an  actress 
as  well  as  singer,  she  has  also  been  successful 
in  film-productions,  beginning  with  'Carmen' 
in  1915.  Her  autobiography  was  published 
in  1916.  [  R.9  ] 

FARWELL,  ARTHUR  (Apr.  23,  1872, 
St.  Paul),  began  his  education  at  Baldwin 
Seminary  in  St.  Paul,  and  graduated  from  the 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology  in 
1893,  having  specialized  in  electrical  engineer- 
ing. He  turned  to  music  and  for  six  years 
was  a  pupil  of  Norris  in  Boston,  of  Humper- 
dinck  in  Berlin  and  of  Guilmant  in  Paris. 
He  lectured  on  music  at  Cornell  University  in

1899-1901.  He  then  established  at  Newton 
Center,  Mass.,  the  'Wa-Wan  Press'  for  the 
publication  of  music  by  Americans,  and 
particularly  those  whose  works  '  were  based  on 
the  melodies  and  folk-lore  of  the  American 
Indians.'  In  1903  he  made  investigations 
among  the  Indians  in  the  Far  West,  and 
prepared  a  report  on  Indian  Songs  and  Span- 
ish-Californian  Folk-songs  for  the  American 
Institute  of  Archaeology.  In  1905  he  founded 
the  American  Music  Society,  of  which  he  is 
president.  In  1909-15  he  was  on  the  editorial 
staff  of  'Musical  America,'  in  1910-13 
supervisor  of  municipal  concerts  in  New 
York,  in  1915-18  director  of  the  Music 
School  Settlement  there,  and  in  1918-19 
acting  professor  of  music  at  the  University 
of  California.  He  has  for  years  been  deeply 
interested  in  community-music. 

As  composer  he  is  best  known  by  works 
based  upon  Indian  themes,  such  as  the 
'Cornell'  Overture,;  op.  9;  American  In- 
dian Melodies  for  piano;  the  orchestral 
pieces  'Dawn,'  'Ichibuzzh'  and  'The  Do- 
main of  the  Hurakan ' ;  the  Symbolistic 
Studies,  for  piano,  opp.  16,  17,  18  and 
24;  'Impressions  of  the  Wa-Wan  Ceremony,' 
op.  21 ;  and  the  'Navajo  War-Dance,'  op.  29. 
He  wrote  music  for  the  Meriden,  N.  H.,  and 
Darien,  Conn.,  pageants  of  1913,  for 
Mackaye's  'Caliban  by  the  Yellow  Sands,' 
a  masque  for  the  Shakespeare  Tercentenary 
in  New  York  in  1916,  and  for  the  community- 
masque  'The  Evergreen  Tree,'  as  well  as 
incidental  music  for  Parker's  'Joseph  and  his 
Brethren'  and  Sheldon's  'Garden  of  Paradise' 
(1913,  New  York).  He  has  also  a  tone-poem, 
op.  34,  for  voice  and  orchestra,  with  words 
from  Sterling's  'Duandon';  the  song  'A 
Ruined  Garden,'  op.  14,  with  orchestra  or 
piano;  a  setting  of  Whitman's  'Captain,  my 
Captain'  for  chorus  and  orchestra;  other  cho- 
ruses and  many  songs.  He  has  written  and 
lectured  extensively  and  earnestly  on  behalf  of 
American  music.  He  edited  Music  in  America, 
Vol.  iv.  of  The  Art  of  Music,  1915.  [  R.8  ] 

JFAURfi,  GABRIEL  URBAN  (May  13, 
1845,  Pamiers,  France).  See  article  in  Vol. 
ii.  15.  In  1909  he  was  elected  to  the  Acad6mie 
and  in  1910  was  made  commander  of  the  L6gion 
d'Honneur.  In  1919  he  retired  as  director 
of  the  Conservatory,  Rabaud  returning  from 
America  to  take  his  place.  Concerts  of  his 
music  have  been  given  in  recent  years  at 
Paris  and  elsewhere,  with  growing  apprecia- 
tion of  the  scope  and  variety  of  his  com- 
positions. Among  later  works  are  the  opera 
'Penelope'  (1913,  Paris),  incidental  music  to 
Clemenceau's  'Le  Voile  du  Bonheur,'  and  a 
piano-quintet  in  D  minor.  See  biography  by

under  Sgambati,  Terziani  and  Leonardi,  and 
graduated  in  1885,  with  a  prize  that  secured 
him  some  instruction  from  Liszt.  Until  1890 
he  gave  piano-recitals  in  Italy.  In  1892  he 
came  to  America  and  has  been  music-director 
in  several  schools  and  colleges.  He  is  now 
head  of  the  piano-department  and  professor 
of  composition  and  instrumentation  at  New- 
comb  College  in  New  Orleans.  He  was

FESTIVALS,  MUSICAL.  Some  notes  are 
given  in  the  Introduction  (pp.  35-6)  as  to 
the  genesis  of  the  'festival'  idea.  The  first

experiments  came  before  the  Civil  War  —  by 
the  Handel  and  Haydn  Society  of  Boston  in 
1857  and  at  Worcester  in  1858,  though  neither 
of  these  series  became  established  till  the  next 
decade.  Analogous  undertakings  in  New  Eng- 
land that  have  persisted  are  those  held  in 
Maine  (at  Portland  or  Bangor)  since  1897  and 
at  Springfield,  Mass.,  since  1903.  At  numerous 
points  in  other  States  where  there  are  energetic 
choral  societies  similar  enterprises  are  in 
operation.  The  May  Festivals  held  biennially 
at  Cincinnati  since  1873  long  stood  in  a  class 
somewhat  by  themselves,  though  sporadically 
imitated  in  other  places.  In  Cincinnati  and 
also  in  Chicago  operatic  festivals  were  for  a 
time  maintained.  Since  1902  the  Bohemian 
Club  of  California  has  given  a  remarkable 
series  of  'Grove-Plays.'  The  Bethlehem  Bach 
Festivals  in  Pennsylvania  were  begun  in  1900 
(intermitted  in  1905-11,  when  similar  efforts 
were  made  by  Dr.  Wolle  at  Berkeley,  Cal.). 
The  Norfolk  Festivals  in  Connecticut  were 
established  on  a  broad  scale  in  1906.  The 
unique  Peterboro  Festivals  in  New  Hamp- 
shire followed  in  1910,  the  '^Lockport  (N.  Y.) 
Festivals  in  1916,  and  the  Berkshire  Festivals 
in  Massachusetts  in  1917.  Several  leading 
educational  institutions  have  become  noted 
for  the  significance  of  their  annual  musical 
undertakings,  especially  the  University  of 
Michigan  since  1893,  Northwestern  University 
in  Illinois  and  Cornell  University  in  New 
York  since  1909,  with  a  host  of  others  of  less 
importance  in  the  South  and  West.  Several 
of  the  great  Expositions  have  maintained 
musical  features  that  assumed  a  festival 
quality,  notably  the  Columbian  at  Chicago 
in  1893  and  the  Panama-Pacific  at  San 
Francisco  in  1915.  Various  national  groups 
have  held  annual  gatherings  of  a  festival 
character.  The  German  singing-societies 
started  this  custom  in  some  form  as  early  as 
1850.  Two  of  the  comprehensive  Sanger- 
bunds  have  been  continuously  active  since 
1881  and  1892  respectively.  Competitions 
of  Welsh  societies  have  long  been  common. 
Norwegian  and  Swedish  festivals  have  occurred 
since  before  1910.  All  these  latter  tend  to  move 
somewhat  from  place  to  place.  The  National 
Federation  of  Musical  Clubs  has  not  only  held 
a  national  festival  biennially  since  about  1900, 
but  is  continually  promoting  smaller  enter- 
prises. The  custom  of  holding  local  and 
historical  'pageants'  has  spread  widely  since 
about  1910,  often  leading  to  complex  under- 
takings of  decided  significance.

FILLMORE,  JOHN  COMFORT  (Feb.  4, 
1843,  Franklin,  Conn.  :  Aug.  15,  1898, 
Franklin),  in  1862-65  studied  at  Oberlin 
College,  having  some  ofgan-lessons  with  G. 
W.  Steele.  He  then  went  to  Leipzig,  coming 
under  Papperitz,  Richter  and  Hauptmann. 
In  1867-68  he  was  director  of  the  music- 
department  at  Oberlin,  in  1868-78  professor 
of  music  at  Ripon  College  in  Wisconsin,  and 
in  1878-84  in  a  similar  position  at  the  Mil- 
waukee College  for  Women.  He  founded  the 
Milwaukee  School  of  Music  in  1884,  and  was 
its  director  until  1895,  when  he  became 
director  at  Pomona  College  in  California. 
A  musical  enthusiast,  he  influenced  a  wide 
circle  of  pupils.  He  was  one  of  the  earliest 
students  of  Indian  music,  and,  with  Miss 
Fletcher  and  La  Flesche,  published  A  Study 
of  Omaha  Indian  Music,  1893,  and  many 
magazine  articles.  His  other  books  are  His- 
tory of  Pianoforte-Music,  1883,  New  Lessons 
in  Harmony,  1887,  Lessons  in  Musical  History, 
1888,  On  the  Value  of  Certain  Modern  Theories 
(von  Oettingen's  and  Riemann's),  and  trans- 
lations of  Riemann's  Klavierschule  and  Natur 
der  Harmonik,  besides  a  long  list  of  articles 
and  addresses.  [  R.5  ] 

FINCK,  HENRY  THEOPHILUS  (Sept. 
22,  1854,  Bethel,  Mo.),  spent  his  youth  at 
Aurora,  Ore.,  whither  his  parents  removed 
to  escape  the  turmoil  of  the  Civil  War.  In 
1876  he  graduated  from  Harvard  with  highest 
honors  in  philosophy  and  a  fellowship.  While 
in  college  he  took  courses  under  Paine,  though 
specializing  in  psychology  and  aesthetics  rather 
than  music.  He  attended  the  first  festival 
at  Bayreuth  in  1876  and  spent  the  following 
winter  in  Munich,  devoting  himself  to  Wagner- 
ism.  In  1878-81  he  studied  psychology  at 
Berlin,  Heidelberg  and  Vienna,  but  also 
wrote  frequently  for  the  New  York  'Nation' 
and  'World'  and  for  the  'Atlantic  Monthly' 
on  Darwinism,  Schopenhauer  and  other  sub- 
jects, including  music.  In  1881,  when  the 
'  Nation '  and  the  '  Evening  Post '  were  merged 
under  Schurz,  Godkin  and  White,  he  became 
a  member  of  the  staff  (and  has  so  continued 
ever  since),  developing  many  critical  views 
about  music  and  musicians  that  were  then 
novel.  He  has  especially  emphasized  the 
value  of  Wagner,  Schumann,  Chopin,  Liszt, 
Grieg,  Tchaikovsky,  Dvorak,  MacDowell 
and  many  others  with  enthusiastic  acumen. 
His  literary  skill  has  enabled  him  to  present 
facts  and  opinions  so  as  to  command  the 
interest  of  many  readers  and  challenge  re- 
spectful attention.  Since  1890  he  has  lectured 
on  music-history  at  the  National  Conservatory, 
where  he  was  associated  with  Dvorak  and 
Joseffy.  In  1890  he  married  Abbie  H.  Cush- 
man,  a  pupil  of  Joseffy,  who  has  not  only 
shared  his  literary  work,  but  herself  written

Success  in  Music,  1909  (largely  a  record  of 
personal  relations  with  musicians),  Massenet 
and  his  Operas,  1910  (partly  based  on  matter 
supplied  by  the  composer),  Richard  Strauss,

1903,  Fifty  Grieg  Songs,  1909,  One  Hundred 
Songs  by  Ten  Composers,  1917.  In  the  field 
of  psychological  aesthetics  he  has  written 
Romantic  Love  and  Personal  Beauty,  1887, 
Primitive  Love  and  Love-Stories,  1899,  and 
Food  and  Flavor,  1913.  Observations  as  a 
traveler  are  embodied  in  The  Pacific  Coast 
Scenic  Tour,  1890,  Spain  and  Morocco,  1891, 
and  Lotos-Time  in  Japan,  1898.  Aside  from 
his  championship  of  musicians  and  musical 
movements  not  at  first  appreciated,  he  con- 
siders his  studies  regarding  the  primitive 
love-impulse  and  the  neglected  sense  of  smell 
his  most  original  work.  [  R.7  ]

wick, Germany  :  Aug.  11,  1914,  Hamburg, 
Germany),  was  the  son  of  parents  who  were 
good  singers.  He  was  first  trained  as  player 
of  the  violin  and  horn.  At  eighteen  he  took 
up  vocal  study  with  his  father,  and  in  1857 
made  his  debut  at  Graz  as  the  Seneschal  in 
Boieldieu's  'Jean  de  Paris.'  He  then  sang 
in  Pressburg,  Stettin  and  Brunswick,  directed 
the  opera  at  Danzig  in  1863-70,  and  sang  at 
the  Royal  Opera  in  Rotterdam  in  1875-80 
and  at  the  Dresden  Court  Opera  in  1880-85. 
In  1885  he  came  to  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House  in  New  York,  singing  during  the  first 
season  directed  by  Seidl.  Till  1891  and  more 
or  less  till  his  retirement  in  1898  he  remained 
associated  with  the  Metropolitan,  extremely 
popular  both  as  man  and  as  artist.  During 
his  career  he  sang  in  101  operas,  and  appeared 
839  times  -in  America.  He  continued  in  New 
York  as  teacher  to  the  end  of  his  life,  spending 
the  summers  in  Germany.  His  Sachs  in  'Die 
Meistersinger'  is  often  quoted  as  a  model  of 
both  singing  and  acting;  his  Wotan,  Hagen, 
King  Mark,  King  (in  'Lohengrin')  and  Land- 
grave were  almost  equally  distinguished.  He 
was  successful  also  in  French  and  Italian 


operas,  though  his  Wagnerian  interpretations 
were  more  famous.  [  R.7  ]

FISHER,  EDWARD  (Jan.  11,  1848,  Ja- 
maica, Vt.  :  May  31,  1913,  Toronto),  had 
early  training  in  Worcester,  at  the  New 
England  Conservatory  in  Boston  and  with 
Eugene  Thayer.  In  Germany  he  studied 
piano  with  Loeschhorn  and  organ  with  Haupt. 
In  1875  he  became  music-director  at  the  Ladies' 
College  in  Ottawa,  and  in  1879  organist  at 
St.  Andrew's  in  Toronto,  where  he  continued 
for  twenty  years.  During  this  time  the  St. 
Andrew'^  Choral  Society  expanded  into  the 
Toronto  Choral  Society.  His  most  eminent 
accomplishment,  however,  was  the  foundation 
in  1887  of  the  Toronto  Conservatory,  of  which 
he  remained  the  head  till  his  death  and  which 
he  brought  to  a  high  degree  of  efficiency.  He 
was  also  prominent  in  the  establishment  of 
the  Canadian  Society  of  Musicians,  the  Clef 
Club,  the  Canadian  Guild  of  Organists  and 
the  Toronto  Symphony  Orchestra.  [  R.6  ] 

FISHER,  WILLIAM  ARMS  (Apr.  27, 
1861,  San  Francisco),  is  descended  from  an 
old  New  England  family.  He  first  studied 
piano,  organ  and  theory  with  J.  P.  Morgan 
in  Oakland.  In  1890  he  came  to  New  York, 
taking  vocal  lessons  with  several  teachers 
there,  and  in  1892  went  to  London  to  work 
with  Shakespeare.  On  his  return  he  studied 
counterpoint,  canon  and  fugue  with  Horatio 
Parker,  composition  and  orchestration  with 
Dvorak.  He  taught  harmony  at  the  National 
Conservatory  of  Music  until  1895,  when  he 
removed  to  Boston.  In  1897  he  assumed 
his  present  position  as  editor  and  publishing- 
manager  of  the  Ditson  Company.  As  a  song- 
composer  he  has  had  notable  success.  Of 
some  80  published  songs  the  most  popular 
are  'Under  the  Rose,'  'Gae  to  Sleep,'  'Sweet 
is  Tipperary,'  'When  Allah  Spoke,'  'Oh,  can 
night  doubt  its  star.'  He  has  also  published 
an  'Elegy'  for  violin  and  piano,  part-songs, 
anthems  and  carols,  and  edited  a  volume  of 
60  Irish  songs,  besides  writing  Notes  on  Music 
in  Old  Boston,  1918  —  a  brief,  but  striking 
historical  sketch.  [  R.7  ] 

FISK  UNIVERSITY,  Nashville,  Tenn. 
(Congregational),  one  of  the  earliest  institu- 
tions of  higher  education  for  negroes,  has  a 
peculiar  musical  interest.  From  its  foundation 
in  1866  singing  was  taught  by  George  L. 
White,  the  treasurer  of  the  institution,  who 
in  1871-74  conducted  the  famous  tour  of  the 
'Jubilee  Singers'  (q.v.).  The  present  depart- 
ment of  music  offers  systematic  courses  in 
piano,  organ,  violin,  voice  and  public-school 
music,  with  credits  in  theory,  history  and  pub-

FLETCHER,  ALICE  CUNNINGHAM 
(1845,  Boston),  received  her  early  education' 
in  private  schools  in  Boston.  She  has  given 
her  life  to  investigations  of  the  North  American 
Indians  and  efforts  for  their  betterment. 
Besides  original  work  in  the  West,  she  has 
repeatedly  served  as  special  representative 
of  the  National  Government.  Since  1882 
she  has  been  assistant  in  ethnology  at  the 
Peabody  Museum  in  Cambridge,  Mass.,  and 
is  prominent  in  various  archaeological  and 
folk-lore  societies.  She  is  author  of  A  Study 
of  Omaha  Music,  1893  (with  La  Flesche), 
Indian  Story  and  Song,  1900,  and  many 
articles  in  the  publications  of  the  Bureau  of

FLINT  COMMUNITY  MUSIC  ASSOCI- 
ATION, THE,  of  Flint,  Mich.,  originated  in 
1913  in  a  choral  society,  which  continued  till 
1915,  being  then  interrupted  by  the  war. 
In  1917,  however,  it  was  revived  in  a  new  form, 
'to  create  a  common  or  general  interest  in 
music.'  George  Oscar  Bowen  was  secured  as 
director,  and  funds  were  appropriated  by  the 
Board  of  Education,  the  Board  of  Commerce 
and  the  Manufacturers'  Association,  amount- 
ing at  first  to  about  $8000  per  year  and  now 
increased  to  over  $20,000.  The  foundational 
activity  is  the  maintenance  of  daily  'sings' 
for  various  groups,  especially  in  the  large 
factories.  The  public  school  buildings  are  used 
for  frequent  neighborhood  entertainments.  A 
chorus  of  limited  size  was  formed  for  giving 
works  of  some  magnitude*,  and  an  orchestra 
of  35.  A  Municipal  Band  of  first-class  order 
is  now  projected,  as  well  as  other  bands  for 
amateurs. 

FLODIN,  KARL  (July  10,  1858,  Wasa, 
Finland,  of  German  parents),  though  a 
resident  of  Buenos  Aires  since  1907,  is  classed 
as  a  strong  influence  in  Finnish  music.  He 


studied  with  Faltin  in  Helsingfors  and  at  the 
Leipzig  Conservatory.  For  some  years  he 
was  music-critic  in  Helsingfors  and  in  1902-05 
edited  the  'Post'  there.  He  has  composed 
a  'Cortege'  for  wind-instruments;  incidental 
music  to  Hauptmann's  'Hannele';  'Helena,' 
a  scene  from  Goethe's  Faust,  for  soprano  and 
orchestra;  and  much  chorus-music.  He  is 
the  author  of  Finnish  Music,  1900  (in  Swed- 
ish), J.  Sibelius  (in  'Finnische  Rundschau,' 
1901),  Die  Entwicklung  der  Musik  in  Finnland 
(in  'Die  Musik,'  1903),  Die  Erweckung  des 
Nationalen  Tones  in  der  finnischen  Musik 
(in  'Die  Musik,'  1904),  and  a  biography  of 
Sibelius,  which  was  ready  for  publication  in 
1916.  [  R.9  ]

FLONZALEY  QUARTET,  THE,  was 
founded  by  Edward  J.  de  Coppet  of  New 
York.  In  the  fall  of  1902  he  commissioned 
Alfred  Pochon  to  select  the  players,  and  in  the 
summer  of  1903  rehearsals  began  at  his  summer 
home,  Flonzaley,  near  Lausanne  in  Switzer- 
land. The  original  membership,  which  re- 
mained unbroken  till  1917,  included  Adolfo 
Betti,  first  violin,  Alfred  Pochon,  second  violin, 
Ugo  Ara,  viola,  and  Ivan  d'Archambeau,  'cello. 
All  but  the  last  had  been  pupils  of  Cesar 
Thomson  at  Liege.  At  first  Pochon  and  Betti 
alternated  positions.  The  members  agreed  to 
devote  themselves  wholly  to  the  Quartet,  and 
the  original  intention  of  the  founder  was  that 
it  should  not  appear  except  more  or  less 
privately  or  for  charitable  objects.  In  1904, 
however,  a  European  tour  was  made,  beginning 
at  Vienna,  and  at  the  end  of  December  the 
Quartet  was  heard  in  New  York.  The  demand 
was  insistent  on  both  sides  of  the  water  that 
they  should  make  regular  and  extensive  tours. 
Since  then  their  superiority  in  every  artistic 
quality  of  interpretation  and  performance  has 
been  everywhere  acclaimed.  In  1917  Ara  felt 
constrained  to  join  the  Italian  army,  and  Louis 
Bailly  succeeded  him.  Since  de  Coppet's  death 
in  1916  the  maintenance  of  the  Quartet  has 
been  assumed  by  his  son  Andre. 

FLORIDIA,  PIETRO,  Barone  NAPOLINO 
(May  5,  1860,  Modica,  Sicily),  at  the  Naples 
Conservatory  studied  piano  with  Cesi,  counter- 
point and  composition  with  Serrao  and  Rossi. 
He  began  publishing  piano-works  while  still 
a  student,  and  the  comic  opera  'Carlotta 
Clepier'  (later  destroyed  by  the  composer) 
was  given  in  Naples  in  1882.  In  1885-90 
he  toured  as  concert-pianist,  locating  at 
Palermo  in  1888  as  first  professor  of  piano 
in  the  Conservatory.  In  1889  he  won  the 
first  prize  of  the  Societa  del  Quartette  in 
Naples  for  a  symphony.  The  years  1892-1904 
were  devoted  to  composition  in  Milan.  Com- 
ing to  America  in  1904,  he  taught  at  the

Cincinnati  College  of  Music  in  1906-08,  and 
has  since  lived  in  New  York,  where  from  1913 
he  has  conducted  the  Italian  Symphony 
Orchestra.  In  addition  to  the  works  named 
above,  he  has  composed  the  operas  'Maruzza* 
(1894,  Venice),  'La  Colonia  Libera'  (1899, 
Rome),  'Paoletta'  (1910,  Cincinnati),  and  the 
grand  opera  'The  Scarlet  Letter'  (composed 
about  1902).  Incidental  music  to  Wilde's 
'A  Florentine  Tragedy'  was  performed  in 
New  York  in  1917.  There  is  also  a  'Fest- 
Ouvertiire'  for  orchestra.  Among  many  songs 
may  be  cited  'Separation,'  'Why?'  'Nymph,' 
'Night  of  Spring,'  'Nocturnal  Landscape* 
(all  Schirmer) ;  'Two  Leaves,'  'When  I  am 
Dead,'  'The  Apple'  (all  Carl  Fischer);  'The 
Nun,'  'Pamphilo's  Song,'  adapted  from 
Boccaccio  by  Bispham  (both  Ditson) ;  and 
'A  Madrigal  of  the  Italian  Renaissance' 
(Breitkopf).  He  has  also  begun  issuing  a 
series  of  early  Italian  songs  with  revised  or 
original  accompaniments  and  critical  notes 
(1st  series  of  40,  Ditson).  [  R.9  ] 

FLORIO,  CARYL  [William  James  Robjohn] 
(Nov.  3,  1843,  Tavistock,  England),  was 
brought  to  America  in  1857.  In  1859-60 
he  sang  at  Trinity  Church  in  New  York  —  its 
first  solo  soprano-boy.  In  1861-67  he  was  in 
a  theatrical  troupe,  returning  to  New  York 
in  1869  as  teacher,  organist,  conductor  and 
composer.  In  1875-82  he  conducted  operas 
in  New  York,  Havana  and  Philadelphia,  and 
later  concerts  of  his  own  works  in  New  York. 
For  a  time  he  was  music-director  at  the 
Baptist  Female  Institute  in  Indianapolis 
and  in  1889-91  at  Wells  College  in  Aurora, 
N.  Y.  At  different  periods  he  has  been  or- 
ganist at  Trinity  Church  in  Newport,  R.  I., 
Zion  Church  in  New  York,  Mt.  Calvary  in 
Baltimore,  and  for  many  years  at  All  Souls' 
in  Biltmore,  N.  C.,  where  in  1896-1901  he 
had  charge  of  the  music  at  the  Vanderbilt 
estate.  In  1886  he  organized  a  Palestrina 
Choir  in  New  York  for  the  production  of 
mediaeval  music,  and  has  led  other  choral  and 
orchestral  societies.  He  has  written  the 
operettas  'Inferno'  (1871),  'Les  Tours  de 
Mercure'  (1872),  'Suzanne'  (1876),  and  the 
opera  'Gulda'  (1879),  all  to  his  own  texts; 
also  the  opera  'Uncle  Tom'  (1882,  Philadel- 
phia), and  the  cantatas  'Songs  of  the  Ele-

FOLK-MUSIC.  Of  indigenous  folk-music 
the  most  unmistakable  case  in  America  is 
that  of  the  Indians.  Somewhat  less  clear  is 
that  of  the  Negroes,  which  doubtless  embodies 
elements  derived  from  contact  with  white 
races.  To  a  different  class  belong  numerous 
forms  that  are  in  some  measure  transplantings 
from  Europe.  It  has  recently  been  brilliantly 
shown  that  in  the  highlands  of  Kentucky, 
Tennessee  and  the  Carolinas  is  a  large  amount 
of  English  folk-music  that  was  originally 
introduced  in  the  late  18th  century  or  early 
19th  and  has  been  preserved  with  modifications 
and  extensions.  Somewhat  parallel  to  this 
is  the  Creole  music  of  the  lower  Mississippi 
region,  which  is  distinctively  French  in  deri- 
vation. This,  however,  has  been  much  in- 
fluenced by  contact  with  artistic  music  in 
various  forms.  Into  the  Northwest  has  much 
more  recently  been  brought  a  large  amount 
of  imported  folk-music  from  Scandinavian 
sources.  In  every  case  where  immigrants 
of  a  particular  nationality  have  settled  in 
considerable  numbers  it  is  likely  that  a  certain 
amount  of  folk-music  will  be  found  and  will 
continue  in  use  for  a  long  time.  The  essen- 
tially composite  nature  of  the  population  of 
the  United  States  therefore  favors  the  entry 
and  perpetuation  of  varied  types  of  folk-music. 
That  same  compositeness  has  more  and  more 
rendered  impossible  any  general  type  that  is 
distinctively  'American.'  The  nearest  ap- 
proach to  such  a  type  —  and  that  entirely 
one-sided  and  really  untypical  —  are  the 
emotional  religious  songs  of  the  'Gospel 
hymn'  variety  or  the  transient  crops  of  war- 
songs  at  one  or  two  periods. 

FOOTE,  ARTHUR  WILLIAM  (Mar.  5, 
1853,  Salem,  Mass.).  See  article  in  Vol.  ii.  71. 
He  was  organist  of  the  First  Unitarian  Church, 
in  Boston  in  1878-1910,  and  president  of  the 
A.  G.  O.  in  1909-12.  As  a  player  he  has 
given  many  organ-  and  piano-recitals,  and 
appeared  frequently  in  chamber-ensemble. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Institute  of  Arts  and 
Letters,  and  a  Fellow  of  the  American  Academy 
of  Arts  and  Sciences.  In  1919  Trinity  College 
gave  him  the  degree  of  Mus.D. 

Few  American  composers  have  won  such 
high  esteem.  The  uniformly  high  quality 


of  his  work  in  diverse  forms  has  been  coupled 
with  a  surprising  uniformity  of  success.  His 
orchestral  works  are  played  by  leading  or- 
chestras, his  chamber-music  has  become  a 
staple  in  American  programs,  his  organ-music 
is  everywhere  popular,  and  his  songs  are 
prized  alike  by  singers,  accompanists  and  audi- 
ences. The  Art  of  Music  (Vol.  iv.  p.  340)  says : 

'Of  his  compositions  as  a  whole  it  may  be  said 
that  they  are  astonishingly  original  in  an  age  which 
has  found  it  all  but  impossible  to  escape  imitation. 
He  is,  like  most  of  the  great  composers,  largely  self- 
taught,  and  yet  there  is  scarcely  a  trace  of  manner- 
isms, nor  —  what  is  even  more  remarkable  —  of 
the  mannerisms  of  others.  His  music  is  the  pure 
and  perfectly  formed  expression  of  a  nature  at  once 
refined  and  imaginative.  In  these  days  of  startling 
innovations,  the  sincerity  of  which  may  not  be 
unhesitatingly  trusted,  it  sounds  none  the  less 
spirited  because  it  is  unquestionably  genuine  and 
relatively  simple.  It  stands  forth  as  a  substantial 
proof  that  delicate  poetry  and  clear-cut  workman- 
ship have  not  yet  failed  to  charm.' 

On  Thanksgiving  Day  in  1914,  organists 
throughout  the  country,  by  concerted  arrange- 
ment, played  his  Festival  March  in  F  as  an 
expression  of  gratitude  for  his  recovery  from 
a  serious  illness — a  tribute  seldom  paid  to 
any  musician. 

The  list  of  his  most  important  works  is  as

Mulheim-on-the-Rhine,  Germany  :  Dec.  15, 
1889,  San  Francisco) .  See  article  in  Vol.  ii.  88. 
His  first  American  appearance  was  on  Dec.  2, 
1857,  at  the  New  York  Academy  of  Music. 
He  continued  widely  active  for  the  next 
twenty  years.  In  1882  he  married  Pauline 
Greenwood,  who  had  been  his  pupil  in  Phila- 
delphia. His  memoirs  were  published  in  1888 
as  Aus  meinem  Kunst-  und  Buhnenleben,  and 
he  also  wrote  a  Method  of  Singing,  3  vols. 
Shortly  before  his  death  he  appeared  in  his 
favorite  part  of  Don  Basilic  (in  'II  Barbiere 


di  Siviglia')  at  the  Bijou  Theatre  in  San 
Francisco.  His  vocal  compass  was  from 
low  C  to  F  above  the  staff.  See  Upton, 
Musical  Memories,  pp.  132-3.  [  R.4  ] 

FORNIA-LABEY,  RITA,  nee  Newman 
(July  17,  1878,  San  Francisco),  began  to  sing 
at  fifteen,  studied  with  local  teachers,  and 
prepared  for  grand  opera  on  the  advice  of 
Scalchi  and  Emil  Fischer.  After  a  year's 
study  in  Berlin  with  Nicklass-Kempner  she 
was  coloratura-soprano  for  the  Hamburg 
Stadt-Theater  for  two  years  and  then  went  to 
Paris  for  lessons  with  Jean  de  Reszke.  She 
came  to  America  in  1906  to  join  Savage's 
English-singing  company,  and  since  1908  has 
been  with  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House. 
She  has  also  appeared  at  Covent  Garden. 
Her  repertory  includes  Elisabeth,  Venus, 
Ortrud,  Sieglinde,  Gutrune,  Amneris,  Carmen, 
Rosina,  Nedda,  Leonora,  Woglinde  (in  'Das 
Rheingold'  and  'Die  Gotterdammerung ') , 
and  first  Flower-Maiden  in  'Parsifal.'  In 
1910  she  married  James  P.  Labey,  of  the  Isle 
of  Jersey.  [  R.9  ] 

FORSYTH,  CECIL  (Nov.  30,  1870,  Green- 
wich, England),  was  educated  at  Cranbrook 
and  Edinburgh  University  (M.  A.,  bursar  and 
classical  prizeman),  and  studied  at  the  Royal 
College  of  Music  in  London  with  Stanford 
(composition)  and  Parry  (musical  history). 
For  a  time  he  played  viola  in  the  Royal 
Philharmonic  and  Queen's  Hall  Orchestras, 
and  was  also  active  as  conductor.  Since  the 
end  of  1914  he  has  lived  in  New  York.  He

English  Musical  Renaissance'  in  Vol.  iii.  of 
The  Art  of  Music  (1915).  [  R.10  ] 

FORSYTH,  WESLEY  OCTAVIUS  (Jan. 
26,  1863,  near  Toronto,  Ont.),  after  pre- 
liminary training  in  Toronto,  studied  with 
Zwintscher,  Krause  and  Jadassohn  in  Leipzig 
and  with  Epstein  in  Vienna.  Since  1892  he 
has  worked  in  Toronto  as  pianist  and  teacher, 
for  a  time  as  director  of  the  Metropolitan 
School  of  Music,  but  recently  as  private 
teacher.  His  published  compositions,  about 
sixty  altogether,  are  songs  and  piano-pieces.

FRANKLIN

A  suite  for  orchestra,  a  string-quartet  and 
many  smaller  works  are  still  in  manuscript. 
He  has  done  much,  by  writing  and  teaching, 
for  the  development  of  piano-music  in  Canada. 
[R.8  ] 

FOSTER,  FAY,  who  was  born  in  Leaven- 
worth,  Kan.,  began  her  public  musical  work 
early,  being  organist  at  twelve,  accompanist  for 
the  Sherwood  Concert  Company  at  seventeen 
and  head  of  a  music-school  in  Onarga,  111., 
at  nineteen.  At  the  Sherwood  Music  School 
in  Chicago  she  studied  singing  with  Mme. 
Dove-Boitte,  piano  with  Sherwood  and 
theory  with  Gleason.  For  twelve  years  she 
was  in  Europe,  taking  piano  under  Reisenauer 
in  Leipzig,  Menter  and  Schwartz  in  Munich, 
and  Rosenthal  in  Vienna,  singing  at  Cologne, 
Munich,  Leipzig  and  Berlin,  and  composition 
under  Jadassohn.  Since  19J.1  she  has  lived 
in  New  York.  Her  waltz  'Die  Woche'  won 
a  prize  over  many  competitors  in  Berlin,  and 
she  holds  prizes  also  for  songs,  women's  cho- 
ruses and  piano-pieces.  Of  the  songs  45  are 
published,  with  9  part-songs.  [  R.8  ] 

FOSTER,  STEPHEN  COLLINS  (July  4, 
1826,  Pittsburgh  :  Jan.  13,  1864,  New  York). 
See  article  in  Vol.  ii.  90-1.  Interest  in 
his  music  and  his  unfortunate  life  does  not 
diminish.  It  is  possible  that  investigations 
now  being  made  may  shed  light  upon  his 
story  and  dissipate  some  of  the  shadows 
across  it.  Noteworthy  books  are  Biography, 
Songs  and  Musical  Compositions  of  Stephen 
C.  Foster,  1896,  by  Morrison  Foster,  his 
brother,  and  Catalogue  of  First  Editions  of 
Stephen  C.  Foster,  1915,  by  Walter  R.  Whit- 
tlesey  and  O.  G.  Sonneck,  of  the  Library  of 
Congress.  A  fresh  biography,  by  Harold  V. 
Milligan  of  New  York,  appeared  in  1920. 
The  following  articles  or  references  have 
value  —  article  by  Dr.  Martin  Darkow  of 
Philadelphia  hi  'Die  Musik,'  4te  Jahrg.,  Heft 
16 ;  article  by  T.  Carl  Whitmer  of  Pittsburgh 
in  'The  Musician,'  Dec.,  1913;  article  by 
Cesar  Saerchinger  of  New  York  in  'The 
International,'  Feb.,  1914;  and  summary  in 
Elson's  History  of  American  Music,  pp.  134-9. 

Foster's  father  was  a  prominent  business 
man  who  came  to  what  is  now  Pittsburgh 
from  Virginia,  and  his  mother  was  of  a  well- 
known  Maryland  family.  By  descent  and 
temperament  he  was  a  Southerner,  and  this 
explains  his  keen  sympathy  with  the  sentiment 
and  form  of  the  songs  and  music  of  the  plan- 
tations. The  entries  in  the  Library  of  Con- 
gress Catalogue  number  about  200,  including 
songs,  duets,  songs  with  chorus,  a  collection 
of  instrumental  pieces  and  arrangements 
called  The  Social  Orchestra,  1854,  and  the  many 
sacred  tunes  that  Foster  contributed  to 
Horace  Waters'  Athenaeum  Collection,  1863. 
If  the  dates  of  publication  be  collated,  it  will 


be  seen  that  his  early  period  (1844-55)  was 
most  productive  in  1850-51,  while  the  later 
period  (1857-64)  yields  most  in  1861-63. 
It  is  to  the  former  that  belong  almost  all  the 
melodies  by  which  he  is  now  best  known. 

The  house  in  Pittsburgh  where  Foster  was 
born  was  bought  by  James  H.  Park  and  in 
1914  presented  to  the  city,  which  now  main- 
tains it  as  a  Foster  museum.  Foster's 
daughter,  Mrs.  Marion  Foster  Welsh,  lives 
in  Pittsburgh.  [  R.4  ]

FOX,  FfiLIX  (May  25,  1876,  Breslau, 
Germany),  came  to  Boston  when  a  child. 
He  was  trained  there  and  in  New  York,  from 
1892  also  at  Leipzig,  where  he  studied  piano 
with  Reinecke  and  composition  with  Jadas- 
sohn. Winning  the  Helbig  prize,  he  continued 
under  Philipp  at  Paris  for  two  years.  At 
Leipzig  he  made  his  debut  in  1896,  and  at 
Paris  in  1897,  bringing  out  some  of  Mac- 
Dowell's  music.  Returning  to  Boston  in 
1897,  he  concertized  for  a  year,  playing  with 
leading  orchestras  and  giving  many  recitals. 
In  1898,  with  Carlo  Buonamici,  he  established 
the  Fox-Buonamici  School  in  Boston,  which 
they  still  conduct.  He  is  an  Officier  d'Aca- 
demie.  [  R.8  ] 

FRADKIN,  FREDRIC  (April  2,  1892, 
Troy,  N.  Y.,  of  Russian  parents),  began 
violin-study  when  only  five,  and  at  nine 
appeared  as  soloist  with  the  American 
Symphony  Orchestra.  His  teachers  in  New 
York  were  Jarrow,  Schradieck,  Bendix,  Franko 
and  Lichtenberg.  In  1905  he  went  to  Paris 
and  studied  first  with  G.  Remy  and  from  1907 
in  Lefort's  class  at  the  Conservatory.  Here 
he  won  first  prize  in  1909.  In  1909-10  he 
was  concertmaster  of  the  Bordeaux  Opera 
Company,  and  in  1910-11  of  the  Louis  Ganne 
Orchestra  at  Monte  Carlo.  After  some 
study  with  Ysaye  he  returned  to  America, 
making  his  debut  in  recital  in  New  York  on 
Jan.  10,  1911.  He  toured  England  in  1911-12 
and  1913-14,  spending  the  intervening  year 
as  concertmaster  of  the  Vienna  Konzertverein, 
In  1914-15  he  was  concertmaster  of  the 
Russian  Symphony  Orchestra  in  New  York, 
in  1915-17  of  the  Diaghilev  Ballet,  and  in 
1918-19  of  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  — 
the  first  American  to  hold  this  post.  [  R.9  ]

FRANKO 


FREMSTAD 


on  'Franklin's  Musical  Side'  in  his  Suum 
Cuique  (1916),  Franklin  had  many  contacts 
with  music  besides  his  organization  of  the 
musical  glasses  into  a  practical  instrument. 
As  a  printer  he  probably  had  some  connection 
with  the  early  engraving  of  music  in  America. 
He  was  apprenticed  to  his  brother  James  in 
Boston  at  the  time  when  Walter's  Grounds 
and  Rules  of  Musick  came  out  in  1721.  At 
his  own  shop  in  Philadelphia  he  issued  several 
reprints  of  Watts'  Psalms  (1729,  '41),  Hymns 
(1741,  '42)  and  Divine  and  Moral  Songs  for 
Children  (1737,  '47),  though  none  of  these 
books  contained  music.  Similarly,  he  printed 
Beissel's  Gottliche  Liebes-  und  Lobeslone  in 
1730  —  the  first  German  book  in  America  — 
and  his  Vorspiel  der  Neuen  Welt  in  1732,  both 
collections  of  poetry.  But  in  1730  he  also 
published  Daniel  Warner's  The  Singing- 
Master's  Guide  to  his  Scholars,  which  involved 
some  music-printing.  He  was  still  in  Phila- 
delphia, though  deeply  engaged  in  public 
affairs,  when  the  issue  of  American  collections 
of  tunes  began  about  1760.  There  is  reason 
to  suppose,  as  Sonneck  shows,  that  in  1759, 
while  on  a  trip  to  England,  he  heard  'The 
Messiah'  on  Apr.  6,  1759,  when  Handel  led 
for  the  last  time.  He  was  an  expert  guitar- 
player,  fond  of  vocal  and  instrumental  music 
generally,  acquainted  with  considerable  musical 
literature  of  the  time,  and  wrote  acutely  and 
sympathetically  to  Lord  Kames  (1765)  and 
others  upon  musical  aesthetics.  [  R.I  ] 

FRANKO,  NAHAN  (b.  1861).  See  Regis-

FRANKO,  SAM  (Jan.  20,  1857,  New  Or- 
leans), was  educated  in  Germany  and 
France,  studying  violin  with  Joachim  in 
Berlin,  Vieuxtemps  and  Leonard  in  Paris,  and 
composition  with  Alexis  Hollaender  in  Berlin. 
He  made  his  d6but  at  Breslau  in  1867  and  in 
New  York  in  1869.  The  years  1871-78  were 
spent  in  study  and  concertizing  in  Germany, 
and  1878-1880  in  Paris,  with  many  concerts 
at  the  Salle  Pleyel.  From  1880  he  made  New 
York  his  headquarters.  He  toured  as  soloist 
and  first  violin  with  the  Mendelssohn  Quintette 
Club  of  Boston;  was  member  and  later 
(1884-91)  concertmaster  of  Thomas'  Or- 
chestra ;  was  solo  viola  with  the  New  York 
Philharmonic  Society;  and  in  1881-1897 
gave  chamber-music  concerts  at  Steinway 
Hall  and  the  Aschenbroedel  Club.  In  1900- 
1909  he  gave  orchestral  concerts  of  'Old 
Music'  in  New  York,  providing  the  first  hear- 
ings in  America  of  many  works  from  the  17th 
and  18th  centuries.  These  programs  he  con- 
tinued in  1910-14  in  Berlin,  where  he  also 
taught  advanced  violin-classes  and  led  the 
orchestra-class  at  the  Stern  Conservatory. 
He  returned  to  New  York  in  1915,  resumed 
his  concerts  of  'Old  Music,'  and  conducted 


performances  at  the  Park  Theater  by  the 
Society  of  American  Singers.  For  one  season 
he  was  concertmaster  at  the  Manhattan  Opera 
House,  and  also  for  the  Russian  Ballet  under 
Diaghilev.  Prominent  among  his  pupils  are 
Emily  Grosser,  Fredric  Fradkin,  Jacques 
Gordon  and  Dora  Becker.  His  published

&  FREER,  ELEANOR,  nee  Everest  (May  14, 
1864,  Philadelphia),  was  the  daughter  of 
Cornelius  Everest,  who  was  a  musical  theorist. 
She  studied  singing  with  Marchesi  and  dic- 
tion with  Godard  in  Paris.  After  marrying 
Archibald  E.  Freer  of  Chicago  in  1891  she 
pursued  theory  under  Ziehn.  She  did  not 
begin  publishing  until  1902,  but  was  then 
already  well-known  as  a  song-composer.  She 
has  written  some  140  songs,  of  which  a  large 
part  are  published.  Her  op.  22,  a  song-cycle 
for  medium  voice,  comprises  the  entire  Sonnets 
from  the  Portuguese  of  Mrs.  Browning.  Of 
these  Ziehn  said :  '  It  is  a  colossal  work.  It 
is  marvelous  enough  that  such  sentiments 
could  be  poetically  expressed  forty-four  times 
by  one  person,  and  more  so  that  another  could 
place  these  wonderful  sonnets  in  a  musical 
setting,  and  of  the  highest  order.'  She  has 
also  published  a  number  of  trios  and  quartets 
for  men's,  women's  or  mixed  voices,  and  a 
group  of  piano-pieces.  During  the  war  she 
was  a  leader  in  charitable  and  relief  organi- 
zations in  Chicago,  and  was  founder  and 
treasurer  of  the  Chicago  Hospital  Foundation 
at  Paris.  [  R.8  ] 

FREMSTAD,  OLIVE  NAYAN  (1870?, 
Stockholm,  Sweden),  was  the  daughter  of 
musical  parents,  living  in  Christiania,  Nor- 
way, until  she  was  twelve,  when  the  family 
moved  to  Minnesota.  She  early  began 
piano-study,  appearing  in  public  at  ten, 
and  at  sixteen  sang  in  church-choirs.  In 
1890  she  came  to  New  York,  supported 
herself  by  accompanying,  giving  piano- 
lessons  and  singing  in  church,  meanwhile 
studying  voice  with  F.  E.  Bristol.  In  1893 
she  went  to  Berlin,  where  she  studied  for 
a  year  and  a  half  with  Lilli  Lehmann.  Her

debut  was  made  as  Azucena  in  'II  Trovatore' 
at  Cologne  in  1895.  In  1896  she  sang  at 
Bayreuth,  and  engagements  in  Germany  and 
Holland  followed.  In  1897-1900  she  sang 
regularly  at  the  Cologne  opera,  and  filled 
guest-engagements  at  Covent  Garden  (first 
appearing  as  Venus  in  '  Tannhauser' ) ,  Am- 
sterdam, Antwerp  and  Vienna.  She  was 
at  the  Royal  Opera  in  Munich  in  1900-03, 
and  made  her  American  debut  at  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House  in  1903  as  Sieglinde  in 
'Die  Walktire.'  She  sang  for  eleven  seasons 
at  the  Metropolitan,  and  since  1914  has  made 
concert-  and  opera-tours.  Her  successes  have 
been  made  as  Carmen  and  in  all  the  leading 
Wagnerian  roles.  She  created  the  title-role 
in  Strauss'  'Salome'  at  the  Paris  and  New 
York  performances,  and  in  Gluck's  '  Armide'  in 
New  York.  She  married  Edson  Sutphen  of  New 
York  in  1906,  was  divorced  in  1911,  and  married 
Harry  Lewis  Brainerd  in  1916.  [  R.7  ]

FRENCH  OPERA  HOUSE,  THE,  in  New 
Orleans,  was  opened  in  December,  1859,  and 
was  long  famous  as  the  oldest  opera-house 
in  the  United  States.  It  was  destroyed  by 
fire  on  Dec.  4,  1919. 

FREUND,  JOHN  CHRISTIAN  (Nov.  22, 
1848,  London),  was  educated  at  the  London 
City  School,  Oxford  and  London  Universities. 
While  at  Oxford  he  edited  'The  Dark  Blue 
Magazine,'  and  his  play  'The  Undergraduate' 
was  produced  at  the  Queen's  Theatre,  London. 
He  came  to  New  York  in  1871.  He  became 
editor  of  'The  Musical  and  Dramatic  Times,' 
and  '  Music  and  Drama'  in  1885,  of  the  Dolge- 
ville  (N.  Y.)  'Herald'  in  1891-93,  and  since 
1893  of  'The  Music  Trades,'  'Musical 
America,'  and  'The  Piano  and  Organ  Pur- 
chaser's Guide.'  In  1913  he  began  a  propa- 
ganda for  'the  musical  independence  of  the 
United  States,'  based  on  the  expenditure,  at 
that  time,  of  over  $600,000,000  annually  on 
music  and  musical  industries,  on  the  superior 
qualities  of  American  musical  instruments, 
and  on  the  unreasonable  notion  that  students 
must  go  to  Europe  for  a  complete  musical 
education.  He  has  made  innumerable 
speeches  on  these  topics  throughout  the 
country.  In  1917  he  established  the  Musical 
Alliance  of  the  United  States,  which  aims  at 
the  recognition  of  music  as  a  vital  factor  in 
national,  home  and  civic  life,  the  extension  of 
music-study  in  public  schools,  the  promotion  of 
American  music,  and  the  establishment  of  a 
National  Conservatory  of  Music.  [  R.7  ]

110.  His  first  sojourn  in  America  was  in 
1891-95,  when  he  made  tours  under  Steinway 
auspices.  In  1900-01  he  taught  at  the 
Chicago  Musical  College.  Leaving  London 
in  1908,  he  spent  two  years  in  Munich.  In 
1910  he  gave  recitals  in  the  United  States 
and  Mexico,  in  1911  took  part  in  many  Liszt 
centenary  concerts  in  Germany,  Hungary 
and  America,  and  in  1912-13  made  concert- 
tours  in  Canada.  Since  1914  he  has  lived  in 
New  York.  His  overture  to  Lermontoff' s 
'A  Hero  of  our  Times'  was  performed  in 
Petrograd  in  1877.  The  opera  'The  Last 
Days  of  Pompeii'  has  not  been  produced. 
In  1880  the  piano-concerto  in  B  was  first 
performed  at  Weimar,  Liszt  playing  the 
orchestral  parts.  In  1886  he  orchestrated 
and  conducted  at  a  festival  in  Sondershausen 
the  'Vier  ungarische  Portrait-Skizzen '  by 
Liszt,  of  which  the  score  is  lost.  In  1890  his 
concerto  in  B-flat  was  performed  under 
Mottl  in  Carlsruhe  and  hissed,  but  success- 
fully given  in  New  York,  Leipzig  and  Munich. 
The  American  March  'E  Pluribus  Unum' 
was  composed  in  1894,  but  is  not  yet  per- 
formed. In  1896  his  arrangement  of  Liszt's 
2nd  Rhapsody  for  piano  and  orchestra  was 
badly  and  unsuccessfully  performed  at  Leipzig. 
In  February,  1904,  his  opera  'Die  Tanzerin' 
was  successfully  given  at  Cologne,  Otto  Lohse 
conducting;  in  1906  it  was  twice  badly 
performed  at  Leipzig.  Unfinished  operas 
are  'The  Christians'  (Nero)  and  'Giulia 
Gonzaga.'  The  piano-score  of  'Die  Tanzerin' 
is  printed  at  Leipzig.  He  has  written  much 
for  periodicals,  and  is  engaged  on  a  commen- 
tary to  the  biographies  of  Liszt.  [  R.8  ]

FRIES,  WULF  CHRISTIAN  JULIUS 
(Jan.  10,  1825,  Garbeck,  Holstein  :  Apr. 
19,  1902,  Roxbury,  Mass.),  was  largely  self- 
taught.  In  youth  he  played  a  number  of 
orchestral  instruments,  but  finally  devoted 
himself  to  the  'cello.  From  1842  he  played 
in  the  theater-orchestra  at  Bergen,  and  at 
Ole  Bull's  concerts.  In  1847  he  came  to 
Boston  with  his  brother  August.  When  the 
Mendelssohn  Quintette  Club  was  organized 
in  1849  he  was  the  'cellist,  continuing  till 
1870  and  visiting  nearly  every  considerable 
town  in  the  country.  He  also  belonged  to 
the  Musical  Fund  Society  and  the  Harvard 
Musical  Association.  He  played  in  chamber- 
music  concerts  with  Rubinstein  and  von 
Billow,  but  after  1875  confined  himself  to 
teaching  and  to  concerts  in  New  England. 
The  impress  of  his  gracious  character  and  his 
sterling  musicianship  was  wide  and  perma- 
nent. [  R.4  1

Trinity  Memorial  Chapel.  He  has  given  over 
600  organ-recitals  at  conventions  of  the 
N.  A.  O.,  for  the  American  Organ-Players' 
Club  and  at  the  Drexel  Institute,  etc.  (includ- 
ing over  125  at  the  opening  of  new  organs). 
He  makes  a  specialty  of  teaching  organ,  and 
is  an  associate  of  the  A.  G.  O.  He  writes  for 
many  musical  publications,  and  is  an  officer  in

FRY,  WILLIAM  HENRY  (Aug.  10,  1813, 
Philadelphia  :  Sept.  21,  1864,  Santa  Cruz, 
West  Indies),  was  the  son  of  a  publisher. 
Though  largely  self-taught  in  piano-playing, 
he  had  lessons  in  theory  from  L.  Meignen,  a 
graduate  of  the  Paris  Conservatory.  At 
fourteen  he  composed  an  overture,  and  at 
twenty  won  a  gold  medal  for  another,  which 
was  played  by  the  Philadelphia  Philharmonic 


Society.  In  1845  he  composed  'Leonora,' 
which  is  often  spoken  of  as  the  first  American 
opera  of  importance.  It  was  given  in  Phila- 
delphia several  times  and  revived  (in  Italian) 
at  the  Academy  of  Music  in  New  York  in 
March,  1858.  In  the  interim  he  had  joined 
the  staff  of  the  New  York  'Tribune,'  and  in 
1846  had  gone  abroad  as  European  correspond- 
ent. He  spent  six  years  in  London  and  Paris, 
and  earned  the  friendship  of  Berlioz  and  other 
French  musicians.  On  his  return  he  became 
music-critic  and  editorial  writer  on  the  '  Trib- 
une,' and  gave  lectures  on  musical  history. 
The  Jullien  Orchestra  played  four  of  his  over- 
tures and  a  symphony.  A  second  opera, 
'Notre  Dame  de  Paris,'  on  a  libretto  by  his 
brother  J.  R.  Fry,  was  brought  out  in  Phila- 
delphia in  1864  under  the  direction  of  Thomas. 
The  list  of  his  compositions  includes  the 
symphonies  'Santa  Glaus,'  'The  Breaking 
Heart,'  'Childe  Harold,'  and  'A  Day  in  the 
Country' ;  several  overtures ;  a  Stabat  Mater, 
cantatas  and  songs.  Although  his  music  did 
not  long  survive,  his  influence  as  a  writer  and 
educator  was  marked  and  beneficial.  [  R.4  ] 

FRYSINGER,  J.  FRANK  (Apr.  7,  1878,

GADSKI,  JOHANNA  EMILIA  AGNES 
(June  15,  1872,  Anclam,  Germany),  was  a 
pupil  at  Stettin  of  Mme.  Schroeder-Chaloupka. 
She  first  appeared  in  Berlin  in  1889  in  'Undine,'

at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House,  besides 
being  heard  often  in  England  and  Germany. 
In  addition  to  her  distinction  as  a  great 
Wagnerian  singer  she  has  also  been  eminently 
successful  in  song-recitals.  In  1892  she 
married  Hans  Tauscher.  In  1917  she  aroused 
much  resentment  by  political  intrigues  and 
withdrew  to  Berlin.  [  R.8  ]

GALESBURG  MUSICAL  UNION,  THE, 
of  Galesburg,  111.,  is  a  choral  society  which 
about  1900  grew  out  of  a  smaller  vocal  club 
in  the  Conservatory  connected  with  Knox 
College.  Its  conductor  from  the  first  has 
been  William  F.  Bentley,  the  director  of  the 
Conservatory,  and  its  membership  averages 
about  150.  Two  concerts  are  given  each  year, 
assisted  by  the  Conservatory  orchestra  or 
one  from  outside,  such  as  the  Chicago  or 
Minneapolis  Symphony  Orchestras.  Both 
oratorios  and  smaller  works  are  given. 

GALLI-CURCI,  AMELITA  (Nov.  18, 
1889,  Milan,  Italy),  had  her  general  education 
at  the  Liceo  Alessandro  Manzoni  and  Inter- 
national Institute  of  Languages  at  Milan. 
At  the  Milan  Conservatory  she  studied  piano 
under  Appiani  and  graduated  with  a  first 
prize  in  1903.  Self-taught  as  a  singer,  she 
made  her  debut  as  Gilda  in  'Rigoletto'  at 
the  Costanzi  in  Rome.  During  the  next  six 
years  she  sang  at  the  principal  theaters  in 
Italy  and  Spain,  besides  touring  in  South 
America  with  Caruso  and  Titta  Ruffo.  In  the 
United  States  she  appeared  with  the  Chicago 
Opera  Company  in  Chicago  in  1916,  and  in 
New  York  with  the  same  company  in  1918. 
Her  success,  both  in  opera  and  in  concert, 
has  been  sensational,  and  she  is  universally 
placed  in  the  first  rank  of  coloratura-sopranos. 
Her  repertoire  includes  Gilda,  Lucia,  Dinorah, 


Rosina,  Violetta,  Amina,  Lakme,  Leila,  Elvira 
and  Juliette.  In  1908  she  married  the  Italian 
painter  Luis  Curci,  Marquis  de  Simeri  (di- 
vorced in  1920).  [  R.10  ] 

GALLICO,  PAOLO  (May  13,  1868,  Trieste,

GANZ,  RUDOLPH  (Feb.  24,  1877,  Zurich, 
Switzerland),  early  began  studying  both  'cello 
and  piano  under  Johannes  Hegar  for  the  one 
and  Robert  Freund  for  the  other.  In  1893-96 
he  continued  the  latter  with  his  uncle,  Carl 
Eschmann-Dumur,  and  composition  with 
Blanchet,  both  in  Lausanne.  Then  followed 
periods  with  Blumer  (piano)  in  Strassburg 
and  with  Busoni  (piano)  and  Urban  (com- 
position) in  Berlin.  At  the  end  of  1899  he 
made  his  formal  debut  as  pianist  with  the 
Philharmonic  Orchestra  in  Berlin,  playing  the 
Beethoven  concerto  in  E-flat  and  the  Chopin 
concerto  in  E  minor.  In  1900-05  he  was  head 
of  the  piano-department  in  the  Chicago 
Musical  College.  He  has  since  devoted  him- 
self to  recital-tours  in  Europe  and  America 
with  the  greatest  success.  He  is  equally 
at  home  in  the  presentation  of  classical  and 
modern  music,  and  has  an  enormous  repertoire. 
In  Berlin  alone  he  has  played  sixteen  different 
concertos.  His  programs  are  comprehensive, 
including  many  works  by  modern  composers. 
His  most  important  compositions  are  a 
Symphony  in  E,  op.  1,  and  a  Concert-Piece 
for  piano  and  orchestra,  op.  4,  both  performed 
in  Europe  and  America,  but  not  yet  published, 
with  a  set  of  piano-variations,  op.  21,  on  a 
theme  by  Brahms.  Published  works  include 
some  40  piano-pieces,  about  200  songs  and 
many  men's  choruses.  [  R.9  ]

studied  with  Trabadello  and  Fugere.  Her 
debut  as  Louise  was  at  the  Opera-Comique  on 
Apr.  12,  1900,  on  a  day's  notice  and  without 
rehearsal,  as  a  substitute  for  Mile.  Rioton. 
Even  so  she  won  success.  She  was  well- 
known  in  Paris  and  London  as  singer  and 
actress  before  she  appeared  in  'Thais'  at  the 
Manhattan  Opera  House  in  New  York  in 
1907.  She  sang  at  the  Manhattan  until  1910, 
and  has  since  been  with  the  Chicago  Opera  Com-

v.  641.  In  1912-13  he  promoted  a  series  of 
important  choral  and  orchestral  concerts  in 
London,  devoted  largely  to  the  production  of 
unknown  works  by  contemporary  British 
composers,  and  these  marked  an  epoch  in 
recent  musical  progress  in  England.  His 
own  work  was  interrupted  by  the  war,  the  only 
additions  to  his  compositions  being  the 
'Shepherd  Fennel's  Dance'  for  orchestra, 
'News  from  Whydah,'  for  chorus  and  or-

taught  music,  French  and  English  at  the 
State  School  in  Saltillo  in  1887-98,  becoming 
director  in  1899-1900.  In  1900-08  he  was

pedagogy  in  the  National  Conservatory. 
In  1915  the  government  sent  him  to  the  United 
States  to  study  teaching-methods,  and  on 
this  trip  he  expounded  original  theories  regard- 
ing harmony-teaching.  He  visited  Spain, 
Italy,  France  and  Switzerland  on  a  similar 
mission  in  1916.  In  1917  he  became  director

GATTI-CASAZZA,  GIULIO  (Feb.  3,  1869, 
Udine,  Italy) ,  was  educated  as  a  naval  engineer 
at  the  Universities  of  Ferrara  and  Bologna, 
and  graduated  from  the  Naval  Engineering 
College  at  Genoa  in  1890.  He  succeeded 
his  father  as  president  of  the  theatrical  com- 
mittee at  Ferrara  in  1893,  and  for  five  years 
managed  the  Teatro  Municipale.  His  marked 
success,  aided  by  recommendations  from 
Puccini,  Mascagni  and  Franchetti,  whose 
operas  he  produced  at  Ferrara,  led  to  his 
becoming  director  of  La  Scala  at  Milan  in 
1898.  There  he  worked  for  ten  years,  and, 
in  conjunction  with  Toscanini  as  conductor, 
brought  the  performances  to  notable  per- 
fection. 'Rheingold'  and  'Siegfried'  were 
staged  for  the  first  time  in  Italy,  'Parsifal' 
was  produced  at  concerts,  Strauss'  'Salome,' 
Tchaikovsky's  'Eugene  Onegin'  and  'Pique 
Dame,'  and  many  modern  French  as  well  as 
Italian  operas  were  introduced.  Since  1908 
he  has  been  General  Director  of  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House  in  New  York,  which 
has  never  been  administered  with  greater 
sustained  success.  His  policy  in  the  se-

tention given  to  every  detail  of  performance 
have  earned  him  high  renown.  [  R.9  1

also  developed  her  voice,  though  without  a 
teacher.  Brought  to  Pugno's  notice,  she  sang 
at  some  of  his  concerts,  and  thus  was  heard 
at  Brussels  by  the  director  of  the  Theatre  de 
la  Monnaie,  where  she  made  her  debut  as 
Carmen  in  1902  on  five  days'  notice  and  with 
success.  She  then  studied  with  Mme.  Adiny 
in  Paris  for  a  year.  She  toured  France, 
Belgium,  Germany,  Russia,  Spain  and  Eng- 
land, appearing  at  Covent  Garden  in  1906  as

GAYNOR,  JESSIE  LOVEL,  nee  Smith 
(Feb.  17,  1863,  St.  Louis),  had  no  special  musi- 
cal training  until  after  her  graduation  from 
Pritchett  College  in  1881.  She  then  went  to 
Boston,  where  she  studied  piano  for  two  years 
with  Maas.  Later  she  had  theory  with 
Goodrich  and  Weidig  in  Chicago.  Songs 
written  for  her  own  children  led  to  her  first 
book,  Songs  of  the  Child-World.  She  was 
then  evolving  simple  methods  for  the  begin- 
nings of  music-study  and  piano-playing.  She 
has  given  much  time  to  practical  teaching 
and  the  development  of  teaching-methods. 
Her  compositions  include  many  for  children, 
but  those  for  older  folk  are  equally  popular. 
In  her  books  of  songs  Mrs.  Alice  C.  D.  Riley 
has  cooperated,  writing  many  of  the  verses. 
The  complete  list  includes  about  fifty  songs 
published  separately,  of  which  'The  Slumber 
Boat'  is  perhaps  the  best-known;  seven 
'  Songs  to  Little  Folks ' ;  an  album  of  six 
'  Rose-Songs ' ;  an  album  of  seven  songs ; 
three  operettas,  'The  House  that  Jack  Built,' 
'The  Toy-Shop';  'Princess  Bo-Peep';  cho- 
ruses for  mixed  or  women's  voices;  and  sev- 
eral piano-pieces.  Three  volumes  of  'Songs 
of  the  Child-World'  are  now  published,  and 
'Sunday-school  Songs  for  Little  Children.' 
Educational  works  for  the  piano  are  First 
Pedal-Studies,  Miniature  Melodies  (two  books), 
Melody-Pictures  for  Little  Players,  and  Minia- 
ture Duets.  Lilts  and  Lyrics  is  a  song-book 
for  children's  schools,  and  Elements  of  Musical 
Expression  is  for  early  use  in  dictation  and 
ear- training.  Several  songs  are  unpublished, 
as  is  also  a  romantic  operetta  'Pierre,  the 
Dreamer.'  She  married  Thomas  W.  Gaynor 
in  1886,  and  lives  in  St.  Louis.  [  R.8  ] 

GEBHARD,  HEINRICH  (July  25,  1878,

Clayton  Johns  in  Boston  until  1895.  After 
four  years  with  Leschetizky  in  Vienna,  he 
made  his  debut  with  the  Boston  Symphony 
Orchestra  in  1900.  He  has  since  held  an 
enviable  position  in  Boston  as  pianist  and 
teacher.  He  is  popular  both  as  ensemble- 
player  and  recitalist,  and  has  played  in  the 
first  Boston  performances  of  Franck's  Quintet 
and  'Variations  Symphoniques,'  Faure's  G

formances of  Strauss'  'Burleske,'  Converse's 
'Night  and  Day,'  and  Loeffler's  'A  Pagan 
Poem.'  He  has  composed  a  string-quartet, 
a  sonata  for  violin  and  piano,  waltzes  for 
orchestra,  and  12  piano-pieces  (Boston  Music

ments won  first  prizes  at  London  in  1851,  at 
Paris  in  1867  and  at  Vienna  in  1873,  and  have 
been  used  by  the  greatest  players.  The 
business  was  continued  by  four  sons.  [  R.4  ]

His  second  engagement  as  conductor  of  the 
Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  was  in  1898- 
1906,  and  he  then  returned  to  Vienna,  retiring 
from  musical  activity.  He  showed  an  in- 
creased sympathy  for  modern  music  in  his 
later  years  at  Boston,  without  losing  that 
'passion  for  perfection'  for  which  he  was  noted. 
To  the  list  of  his  compositions  are  to  be  added 
a  septet,  a  string-quartet,  two  sonatas  for 
violin  and  piano  and  two  for  piano,  a  piano- 
quintet  and  trio,  and  a  suite  for  orchestra. 
He  has  also  orchestrated  three  sonata-move- 
ments of  Bach  and  provided  additional 
accompaniments  for  Handel's  'Judas  Mac- 
cabseus.'  [  R.7  ] 

GERMAN  SINGING-SOCIETIES.  Rit- 
ter,  in  his  Music  in  America,  lays  just  em- 
phasis upon  the  zeal  with  which  German 
immigrants  early  organized  choral  societies, 
originally  for  men's  voices  only.  The  New 
York  Liederkranz  was  started  in  1847,  and 
from  it  diverged  in  1854  the  Arion.  About 
the  same  time  similar  movements  took  place 
in  many  other  cities.  The  Cincinnati  Man- 
nerchore  united  in  a  festival  in  1849.  The 
Milwaukee  Musikverein  was  organized  in 
1849.  Philadelphia,  Baltimore,  St.  Louis 
and  Chicago  may  be  cited  as  other  places 
where  like  activity  was  shown.  At  first  all 
these  societies  were  for  men  and  cultivated 
only  part-songs.  All  of  them,  also,  were  in 
a  sense  private  —  for  members  and  their 
friends.  But  some  of  them  expanded  into 


mixed  choruses  and  undertook  extensive 
performances  of  large  choral  works  in  a  public 
way.  Even  in  their  more  limited  form  they 
supplied  within  their  own  circle  a  useful 
stimulus,  and  when  they  gave  concerted  works 
and  operas  they  became  institutions  of  general 
culture.  Their  most  fruitful  influence  was 
just  before  and  just  after  the  Civil  War. 
Out  of  them  in  several  cases  grew  more  com- 
prehensive enterprises  that  were  permanent 
and  powerful.  In  at  least  half  a  score  of  cities 
the  enthusiasm  over  them  supplied  the  basis 
for  both  choral  and  orchestral  projects  of 
much  greater  scope  and  public  spirit. 

GERMANIA  ORCHESTRA,  THE,  was  a 
cooperative  troupe  of  German  players,  largely 
recruited  from  Gungl's  band  in  Berlin,  who 
came  to  New  York  in  1848.  Originally  they 
numbered  twenty-four,  all  competent  per- 
formers, led  by  Carl  Lenschow.  The  latter 
was  succeeded  in  1850  by  Carl  Bergmann,  and 
the  number  of  members  was  at  times  increased. 
The  first  concert  was  on  Oct.  5,  1848,  in  the 
Astor  Place  Opera  House,  followed  by  a  series 
of  sixteen,  with  four  in  Brooklyn.  In  De- 
cember six  concerts  were  given  in  Philadelphia, 
but  with  such  ill-success  that  the  troupe  was 
temporarily  disbanded.  In  March,  1849, 
they  were  reassembled  at  Washington  to  play 
at  the  inauguration  of  President  Taylor. 
Thence  they  went  to  Baltimore,  giving  ten 
concerts  and  for  the  first  time  winning 
pecuniary  success.  On  their  way  north  they 
stopped  at  New  Haven,  Hartford,  Springfield, 
Worcester  and  Providence.  From  April  14 
they  gave  twenty  concerts  in  Boston  with  such 
6clat  that  they  were  in  much  request  else- 
where, not  only  in  New  England,  but  in  the 
South  and  West.  They  played  a  remarkably 
long  list  of  symphonies,  overtures  and  lesser 
works,  besides  joining  with  choral  societies 
in  concerted  works.  Among  the  soloists 
assisting  were  Jenny  Lind,  Sontag,  Camilla 
Urso  and  Ole  Bull.  In  September,  1854, 
however,  the  laboriousness  of  travel  led  to  the 
dissolution  of  the  Orchestra.  During  six 
years  they  gave  nearly  nine  hundred  concerts. 
The  influence  of  these  was  one  of  the  most 
potent  factors  in  the  growth  of  American 
taste  and  knowledge.  See  article  in  'Scrib- 
ner's  Magazine,'  Nov.,  1875,  and  the  old

scholarship,  and  was  made  A.M.  in  1906.

GILBERT 


GILCHRIST 


Since  1908  he  has  been  organist  at  Temple 
Israel  in  Boston,  and  music-director  at  the 
Union  Park  Forum.  With  his  wife,  nee 
Ramsay,  he  toured  at  intervals  for  three  years. 
For  a  time  he  conducted  the  Cecilia  Society. 
He  edited  the  Jewish  Hymnal  for  Religious 
Schools,  2nd  ed.,  1917.  His  compositions  are 
part-songs  for  women's  voices,  'As  sing  the 
thrushes'  and  'A  Jewish  Lullaby,'  four  songs 
and  a  piano-arrangement  of  the  Scherzo  from 
Guilmant's  Fifth  Sonata  (all  Witmark). 
Unpublished  are  a  Mass  in  F,  a  score  of  songs, 
and  arrangements  of  Russian-Jewish  folk- 
songs with  English  texts  (version  by  Mrs. 
Gideon) .  He  has  led  three  musical  pilgrimages 
through  Europe,  lectured  for  the  Boston  Opera 
Company,  and  written  many  articles  for  mag- 
azines. [  R.9  ] 

GILBERT,  HENRY  FRANKLIN  BEL- 
KNAP  (Sept.  26,  1868,  Somerville,  Mass.), 
had  his  school-education  at  Cambridge  and 
Reading,  Mass.  He  studied  violin  in  Boston 
with  Mollenhauer,  harmony  with  Howard 
and  Whiting  at  the  New  England  Conser- 
vatory, and  in  1889-93  composition  with 
MacDowell  —  his  first  pupil  after  returning 
from  Europe.  While  studying  he  played 
violin  in  small  orchestras  for  support.  In 
1894,  with  Professor  J.  D.  Whitney  of  Har- 
vard, he  gave  concerts  illustrating  the  Slavic 
tendencies  in  modern  music.  After  some  busi- 
ness experiences  and  varied  further  studies, 
he  lived  for  a  time  in  Paris  —  intent  upon 
French  literature.  In  1901,  being  once  more 
in  America,  he  went  again  to  Paris  to  hear 
Charpentier's  'Louise,'  and  then  decided  to 
devote  himself  to  composition.  Being  in- 
tensely interested  in  folk-music  generally,  he 
threw  in  his  lot  with  the  circle  represented  by 
the  Wa-Wan  Press,  though  with  more  emphasis 
upon  Negro  than  Indian  sources.  His  list 
of  works  is  as  follows: 

Orchestral — 

'Americanesque,'  based  on  three  minstrel-tunes 
(about  1903)  (Gray). 

'Comedy-Overture  on  Negro  Themes'  (1911,  New 
York,  Pittsburgh,  Boston  and  often  since)  (Gray). 

Three  'American  Dances'  (1911)  (4-hand  piano- 
arrangement,  Boston  Music  Co.). 

'Negro  Rhapsody'  (1913,  Norfolk  Festival)  (Gray). 

Two  'Episodes,'  'Legend,'  ' Negro  Episode '  (Gray). 

Symphonic  Prologue,  'Riders  to  the  Sea,'  after  the 
tragedy  of  Synge,  utilizing  studies  in  Celtic  folk- 
music  (1915,  Peterboro  Festival)  (Schirmer). 

'Salammbo's  Invocation  to  Tanith,'  after  Flaubert, 
fqr  soprano  and  orchestra  (piano-score,  Gray). 

Six  'Indian  Sketches,'  for  chorus  and  orchestra. 

Hymn,  'To  America'  (piano-score,  Birchard). 

Symphonic  Ballet,  'The  Dance  in  Place  Congo,' 
based  on  four  Creole  themes   quoted  by  Cable 
(1918,    Metropolitan    Opera    House,    thrice    re- 
peated and  once  in  Boston). 
Piano  — 

'The  Island  of  the  Fay,'  after  Poe  (Gray). 

'Indian  Scenes,'  'Negro  Dances'  (Gray). 


Songs  — 

'Pirate  Song,'  text  from  Stevenson  (often  sung  by 

Bispham). 
About  15  published  by  Gray,  with  others  by  Presser, 

Birchard,  Ditson  and  Boston  Music  Co. 
(Edited)  'One  Hundred  Folk-Songs'  (Birchard). 

Of  these  the  most  ambitious  is  the  '  Dance  in 
Place  Congo,'  which  called  out  both  high  praise 
and  question  for  its  depiction  of  rude  vigor. 
To  The  Art  of  Music  he  contributed  a  chapter 
on  'Primitive  Music,'  and  to  E.  S.  Curtis' 
North  American  Indian  one  on  '  Indian  Music.' 
He  has  written  thoughtful  articles  for  '  Music,' 
'The  New  Music  Review'  and  'The  Musical 
Quarterly.'  He  has  lectured  on  'Humor 
in  Music'  at  Harvard  and  Columbia  in  1917- 
18,  with  piano-illustration  by  George  Cope- 
land.  See  article  by  Olin  Downes  in  'The 
Musical  Quarterly,'  January,  1918.  [  R.8  1

University  in  1888.  He  composed  the  ora- 
torios 'St.  John'  (1857)  and  'The  Resto- 
ration of  Israel'  (1859),  services  in  C,  E  and 
A-flat  (one  written  when  only  17,  but  in 
standard  use),  anthems,  hymn-tunes  and

with  Philadelphia  (except  for  teaching  at 
Cincinnati  in  1872-73).  His  only  teacher 
(from  1865)  in  organ,  voice  and  theory  was 
Dr.  Clarke  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 
In  1874  he  organized  and  for  forty  years 
conducted  the  Mendelssohn  Club.  He  was 
conductor  of  the  Philadelphia  Symphony

GLUCK,  ALMA  (May  11,  1886,  Bucharest, 
Rumania),  was  brought  to  New  York  as  a 
child  (Reba  Fierson)  and  was  educated  in 
the  public  schools  and  the  Normal  College. 
She  began  a  business  career  as  confidential 
secretary  before  discovering  that  her  voice 
was  worth  cultivation.  After  studying  in 
1906-09  with  Buzzi-Peccia,  she  sang  for 
Toscanini  and  Gatti-Casazza  and  was  at  once 
engaged  for  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House. 
She  made  her  debut  as  Sophie  in  Massenet's 
'Werther'  in  1909,  and  later  appeared  in 


'Orfeo,'  'I  Pagliacci,'  'Armide,'  'Stradella' 
and  'La  Boheme.'  In  her  first  year  at  the 
Metropolitan  she  sang  eleven  roles  and  twenty 
in  all.  In  1912  she  gave  up  the  stage  for 
concert-work,  in  which  she  had  been  and  is 
notably  successful.  The  winter  of  1912-13 
was  spent  in  study  with  Sembrich  in  Berlin. 
She  married  the  violinist  Efrem  Zimbalist  in 
1914.  [  R.9  ] 

GODOWSKY,  LEOPOLD  (Feb.  13,  1870, 
Wilna,  Russian  Poland),  first  appeared  as 
pianist  at  nine,  and  began  American  tours  in 
1884  with  Clara  Louise  Kellogg  and  Emma 
Thursby  and  later  with  the  violinist  Musin. 
His  studies  prior  to  this  date  had  been  in 
Wilna,  with  a  few  months  at  the  Hochschule 
in  Berlin  under  Rudorff.  In  1886  he  returned 
to  Europe,  expecting  to  study  with  Liszt,  but 
the  latter's  death  prevented.  In  1887-90  he 
was  a  pupil  of  Saint-Saens  in  Paris.  His 
second  American  tour  began  in  1890,  and  led 
to  a  long  sojourn,  at  first  as  instructor  of 
piano-teachers  at  the  Broad  Street  Con- 
servatory in  Philadelphia,  and  in  1894  as 
director  of  the  piano-department  of  the 
Chicago  Conservatory.  In  1900  he  went  to 
Germany,  and  made  his  Berlin  debut  in 
December.  For  nine  seasons  his  home  was 
there,  the  routine  of  teaching  being  varied  by 
many  concert-trips.  In  1909  he  was  made 
director  of  the  Master-School  of  Piano-Playing 
at  Vienna,  with  the  title  of  Imperial  Royal 
Professor.  In  1912  and  1913  he  made  tours 
in  America,  and  in  1914  again  located  in  the 
United  States.  Since  1918  he  has  held  mas- 
ter-classes for  piano-playing  on  the  Pacific 
Coast  and  in  the  West.  His  concert-tours 
have  been  almost  continual,  but  he  has  found 
tune  also  to  prepare  and  edit  many  edu- 
cational works.  He  is  editor-in-chief  of  The 
Progressive  Series  of  Piano-Lessons,  1912 
(Art  Publication  Society,  St.  Louis).  Huneker 
calls  his  playing  'transcendental  .  .  it  is 
the  fine  equilibrium  of  intellect  and  emotion 
that  compels  admiration.'  His  compositions 
for  piano  are  as  follows  : 

Sonata  in  E  minor. 

24  'Walzermasken.' 

24  'Renaissance  Pieces.' 

53  Studies  on  Chopin's  Etudes.

GOEPP,  PHILIP  HENRY  (June  23,  1864, 
New  York),  in  1872-77  attended  school  in 
southern  Germany  and  began  to  study  the 
piano,  followed  by  further  training  in  organ 
and  theory  under  P.  B.  Sparks  in  New  York. 
In  1884  he  graduated  from  Harvard  and  took 
the  full  course  in  composition  under  Paine. 
He  then  became  a  law-student,  was  admitted 
to  the  bar  in  Philadelphia  and  wrote  articles 
on  legal  subjects.  Since  1891,  however,  music 
has  been  his  profession,  starting  with  supple- 
mental studies  with  W.  M.  Warner  (piano), 
Wood  (organ)  and  Clarke  (orchestration). 
In  1892  he  was  a  founder  of  the  Manuscript 
Music  Society  and  long  an  officer  in  it.  Since 
1900  he  has  prepared  the  program-notes  for 
the  Philadelphia  Orchestra.  He  is  organist 
at  the  First  Unitarian  Church  and  theory- 
professor  at  the  Temple  University,  besides 
much  general  teaching.  He  has  published 
a  fairy-opera,  'The  Lost  Prince,'  part-songs, 
madrigals,  anthems,  children's  songs  and  a 
'Lullaby'  for  violin.  He  has  besides  several 
orchestral  marches  (such  as  the  'Heroic' 
and  the  'Wedding'),  a  sonata  for  violin  and 
piano,  variations  for  organ,  many  pieces  for 
piano  or  violin,  a  Christmas  cantata  and 
many  songs.  He  is  most  widely  known  for 
his  Symphonies  and  their  Meaning,  3  vols., 
1898, 1902,  1913.  He  edited  Madeira's  Annals 
of  Music  in  Philadelphia,  1896,  and  has  written 
numerous  magazine  articles.  [  R.8  ] 

GOETSCHIUS,  PERCY  (Aug.  30,  1853, 
Paterson,  N.  J.),  until  twenty  assisted  his 
father  as  civil  engineer,  though  eagerly  using 
means  for  self-discipline  in  music.  In  1873 
he  entered  the  Stuttgart  Conservatory, 
studying  piano  with  Lebert  and  Pruckner, 
composition  with  Faiszt  and  instrumentation 
with  Doppler.  In  1876  he  began  to  teach 
the  theory-classes  and  in  1885  was  made 
Royal  Professor  in  theory  and  history  and 
became  critic  for  two  journals.  In  1890-92 
he  taught  at  Syracuse  University,  receiving  a 
Mus.D.  in  1892.  In  1892-96  he  was  at  the 


New  England  Conservatory,  and  in  1896-1905 
taught  privately  in  Boston.  Since  1905  he 
has  been  head  of  the  work  in  theory  and 
composition  at  the  Institute  of  Musical  Art 
in  New  York.  In  1897-1905  he  was  organist 
at  the  First  Parish  Church  in  Brookline. 

His  development  of  a  rational  and  com- 
prehensive system  of  theory-teaching  was 
partially  suggested  by  the  work  of  Faiszt, 
but  is  chiefly  due  to  his  own  persistent  efforts 
to  organize  tone-materials  and  show  reasons 
for  the  instinctive  impulses  of  genius  in  using 
and  applying  them,  to  lead  students  forward 
by  careful  stages  of  information  and  experi- 
ment, and  to  keep  their  work  vital  by  constant 
analysis  of  good  music.  In  pursuance  of  his 
ambition  he  has  produced  a  monumental 
series  of  text-books,  admirably  arranged  and 
abounding  in  original  definitions  and  directions. 
These  include  The  Material  Used  in  Musical 
Composition,  Stuttgart,  1882  (2nd ed.,  rewritten, 
New  York,  1889,  14th  ed.,  rewritten,  1913), 
The  Theory  and  Practice  of  Tone-Relations, 
1892  (llth  ed.,  revised,  1900;  15th  ed.,  re- 
written, 1916),  Models  of  the  Principal  Music- 
Forms,  1894,  History-Syllabus,  1894,  The  Homo- 
phonic  Forms  of  Musical  Composition,  1898, 
Exercises  in  Melody-Writing,  1900  (rewritten, 
1918),  Applied  Counterpoint  —  Invention,  Cho- 
rale-Elaboration, Fugue,  Canon,  1902,  Lessons 
in  Music-Form,  analysis  only,  1904,  Elementary 
Counterpoint,  1910,  The  Larger  Forms  of  Musi- 
cal Composition,  1915,  and  (with  Thomas  Tap- 
per) Essentials  in  Music-History,  1914. 

Unpublished  compositions  include  a  sym- 
phony, the  overtures '  Samson '  and  Christmas,' 
an  orchestral  suite,  three  concert-fugues  for 
piano,  and  many  smaller  pieces,  instrumental 
and  vocal.  He  has  published  a  piano-sonata 
in  B,  two  concert-fugues,  seven  Characteristic 
Pieces  in  waltz-rhythm,  a  Minuet,  a  Wedding- 
March  (also  organ),  two  Mazurkas,  a  Revery, 
six  anthems  and  the  song  'The  Lord  is  my 
Shepherd.'  He  has  edited  the  complete 
piano-works  of  Mendelssohn  (Cotta  Edition), 
Thirty  Compositions  of  Mendelssohn  (Ditson), 
an  analytic  edition  of  'The  Songs  without 
Words'  (Ditson),  etc.  He  is  one  of  the  editors 
of  The  School-Credit  Piano-Course  (Ditson). 
He  has  also  written  many  essays  and  articles 
for  musical  journals.  [  R.6  ]

charge  of  the  Cecilia  Society  in  1907-10,  and 
in  1907  conducting  the  orchestral  concerts 
at  Jordan  Hall.  From  the  inception  of  the 
Boston  Opera  Company  in  1909  he  was  one 
of  the  regular  conductors,  continuing  till  the 
Company  disbanded  in  1912.  He  has  pub- 
lished an  'Ave  Maria,'  after  Scheffel,  for 
chorus  and  orchestra,  and  'Choral  Music 
for  a  Requiem  Celebration  of  the  Holy  Eucha- 
rist' (1918).  He  has  translated  Pirro's 
J.  S.  Bach  and  his  Works  for  the  Organ,  1902, 
and  Niedermeyer  and  d'Ortigue's  Gregorian 
Accompaniment,  1905,  and  has  written  The 
Organ  in  France,  1917,  and  some  essays  on 
organ-building,  Gregorian  music,  etc. 

Besides  his  sympathy  with  the  French  school

mittee of  the  City  of  Boston.  During  the  war 
he  was  greatly  interested  in  everything  relating 
to  band-music  and  held  more  than  one  super- 
visory office.  In  1918  he  had  just  outlined  an 
extensive  plan  to  train  band-players  throughout 
the  country  when  the  signing  of  the  armistice 
cut  short  all  vocational  training.  [  R.7  ]

GORDON,  HAMILTON  S.,  of  New  York, 
is  the  name  of  &  music-publishing  business 
founded  in  1846  by  Stephen  T.  Gordon,  pre- 
viously an  organist  and  teacher  in  Hartford, 
Conn.  In  1854-55  the  firm-name  was  Berry 
&  Gordon  (S.  T.  Gordon,  T.  S.  Berry,  Oliver 
Ditson  and  J.  E.  Gould),  and  they  sold  pianos 
and  organs  as  well  as  music.  This  business 
was  conducted  under  Gordon's  name  again 
in  1855-73,  in  1873,  Hamilton  S.  Gordon 
coming  in,  as  S.  T.  Gordon  &  Son,  and  since 
1891  as  at  present.  S.  T.  Gordon  died  in 
1891  and  H.  S.  Gordon  in  1914.  The  present 
partners  are  the  latter's  four  sons.  From 
1894  the  scope  of  the  business  was  enlarged 
to  include  musical  instruments  generally  and 
Edison  phonographs.  In  1905  the  piano- 
making  was  transferred  to  the  Gordon  Piano 
Co.,  and  soon  the  firm  concentrated  its  at- 
tention upon  publishing  alone.  In  1913  it 
moved  to  its  present  location  at  141-145 
West  36th  St.  At  various  times  they  have 
issued  a  large  amount  of  useful  literature, 
especially  for  the  organ  and  for  piano-teaching.

at  graduation  received  three  gold  medals. 
He  came  to  America  in  1881  as  pianist  and 
accompanist  for  Patti,  and  remained  as 
teacher  at  the  Cincinnati  College  of  Music, 
where  for  years  he  has  been  head  of  the  piano- 
department.  His  compositions  include  a 
'Cantata  to  Garibaldi'  (1882,  New  York); 
'La  Festa  dei  Montanari,'  cantata  for  voices, 
piano  and  orchestra;  an  operetta,  'Cuore  e 
Patria'  (1881?,  Milan);  a  ' Marinaresca '  for 
piano  and  orchestra ;  many  piano-pieces, 
songs  and  choruses.  His  Material  for  the 
Study  of  the  Pianoforte-Pedals,  3  parts,  1894- 
1900,  is  an  exhaustive  treatise,  with  numerous 
classical  and  original  examples.  [  R.7  ] 

'GOSPEL  HYMNS.'  The  title  of  a  series 
of  evangelistic  hymn-books  with  tunes  pub- 
lished in  1875-9 1.1  Their  remarkable  vogue 
caused  the  name  to  be  popularly  applied  to 
all  hymns  and  tunes  of  a  similar  type.  Neither 
title  nor  type  was  new.2  Both  words  and 
music  of  this  order  had  been  in  use  in  America 
—  as  also  in  England  —  from  early  in  the 
19th  century,  especially  on  occasions  that 
were  then  novel,  such  as  prayer-meetings, 
Sunday-schools  and  revivals.  The  issue  of 
books  with  such  music  gradually  increased  till 
about  1860  and  then,  under  several  magnetic 
leaders,  rapidly  came  to  astonishing  propor- 
tions.3 The  movement  constituted  a  historic 
phenomenon  that  justifies  remark. 

The  type  of  tune  was  essentially  that  of 
the  folk-song,  though  not  based  upon  actual 
songs  of  that  kind.  Salient  features  are  an 
obvious  melody  upon  a  simple  harmonic 
basis  (usually  without  modulation),  with  the 
metric  pattern  often  varied  by  divided  pulses 
and  other  devices,  a  tendency  to  unify  couplets 
more  than  lines,  and  a  decided  rhythmic  swing 
and  flow.  In  these  regards  the  type  was  in 
grateful  contrast  with  the  traditional 
'psalmody.'  There  was  nothing  to  compete 
with  it  in  arresting  popular  attention.  Even 
down  to  the  end  of  the  century  it  circulated 
widely  among  thousands  to  whom  more  so- 
phisticated music  was  wholly  unknown. 
Such  tunes,  with  their  lilting,  ballad-like 
verses,  were  seized  upon  because  in  a  way 
they  met  the  craving  for  folk-music.  Here 
and  there  in  the  vast  literature  are  songs  of 
homely  naivete1  and  even  beauty.  But  as 
early  as  1850  and  much  more  after  the  success 
of  Phillips,  Bliss  and  Sankey  about  1870, 

*  No/ 1,  by  Bliss  and  Sankey;  No.  2,  1876;  No.  3, 
by  Sankey,  McGranahan  and  Stebbins,  1878;  No.  4, 
1881 ;  No.  5,  1887 ;  No.  6,  1891 ;  with  several  issues  in 
combination. 

*  For    example,    '  Gospel   Melodies '   (hymns)  was 
issued  in  1821,  'Gospel  Hymns'  in  1864  and  'Gospel 
Songs,'  by  Bliss,  in  1874. 

'  The  total  number  of  distinct  books  of  this  class 
published  during  the  century  was  probably  not  far 
from  1500.  Of  those  by  a  single  compiler  (Sankey) 
more  than  50,000,000  copies  were  sold  ! 


the  commercial  element  tended  to  vitiate  the 
type.  Both  hymns  and  tunes  were  mechan- 
ically produced  in  large  quantities,  and 
promoters  arranged  'conventions'  and  the  like 
to  sell  their  books.  So  'catchy'  was  the 
style  —  like  that  of  the  war-songs  in  the 
'60s  and  recently  —  that  it  tended  to  prevent 
attention  to  better  styles.  Hence  the  fre- 
quent view  that  the  whole  movement  is  to 
be  condemned.  Yet  it  presents  some  analogies 
to  much  more  dignified  movements  in  England, 
where,  however,  conditions  favored  the 
development  of  the  highly  lyrical  hymn  and 
the  artistic  part-song  tune.  Nothing  similar 
was  possible  in  America  till  long  after  the 
modern  forms  were  well  established  in  Eng- 
land. Instead  of  the  part-songs,  the  har- 
monized rhythmic  air  was  inevitably  pushed 
to  the  front,  and  the  desire  for  immediate 
success  with  the  thoughtless  multitude  kept 
down  efforts  to  give  the  style  distinction. 

Regarding  the  'Gospel  Hymns'  proper 
Sankey  wrote  in  My  Life  and  the  Story  of  the 
Gospel  Hymns,  1906.  Of  much  broader  scope 
and  higher  value  is  J.  H.  Hall,  Biography  of 
Gospel  Song  and  Hymn  Writers,  1914.  The 
list  of  tune-writers  and  compilers  in  this 
latter  includes  about  65  persons  at  work

only  six ;  piano-study  came  later.  Zimmer- 
man, then  head  of  the  piano-department  of 
the  Paris  Conservatory,  refused  even  to  hear 
the  boy  as  a  candidate ;  ten  years  later 
Gottschalk  was  himself  judge  at  a  Conser- 
vatory concours.  His  first  appearance  in 
Paris  was  at  the  Salle  Pleyel  in  April,  1844, 
and  Chopin  then  said  to  him,  'I  predict  you 
will  become  a  king  of  pianists.'  A  few  years 
later  Berlioz  wrote  that  '  he  possessed  all  the 
different  elements  of  a  consummate  pianist.' 
His  first  New  York  concert  was  at  Niblo's 
on  Feb.  10,  1853.  He  refused  Barnum's 
offer  of  $20,000  and  all  expenses  for  a  year's 
engagement.  In  the  winter  of  1855-56  he 
gave  eighty  concerts  in  New  York.  The  years 
1856-62  were  'squandered,'  to  use  his  own 
words,  in  the  West  Indies.  He  reappeared 
in  New  York  at  Irving  Hall  in  1862,  and  in  the 
next  three  years  gave  concerts  constantly  in 
the  North  and  Canada.  In  1865  he  visited 
California,  going  thence  to  Panama,  Peru, 
Chili  and  finally  Rio  de  Janeiro,  where  he 
arrived  in  May,  1869.  His  last  concert  was 
Nov.  24,  1869.  His  body  was  brought  to 
New  York,  where  services  were  held  at  St. 
Stephen's  Church  on  Oct.  30,  1870.  See

GOW,  GEORGE  COLEMAN  (Nov.  27, 
1860,  Ayer  Junction,  Mass.),  graduated  from 
Brown  University  in  1884  and  from  Newton 
Theological  Seminary  in  1889.  His  chief 
musical  training  was  under  B.  C.  Blodgett 
in  Pittsfield  and  E.  B.  Story  in  Worcester, 
and  from  1889  he  was  associated  with  them 
as  teacher  of  piano  and  harmony  at  Smith 
College.  In  1892-93  he  studied  with  Bussler 
in  Berlin.  Since  1895  he  has  been  professor 
at  Vassar  College,  where  he  has  developed  a 
highly-organized  department  of  music.  His 
first  book  of  songs  appeared  in  1884,  with 
several  others  later,  besides  duets  and  part- 
songs.  He  is  the  author  of  a  striking  treatise 
on  harmony,  The  Structure  of  Music,  1895, 
and  wrote  the  articles  on  Harmony  and 
Theory  in  the  American  History  and  Encyclo- 
pedia of  Music,  1910,  besides  many  essays 
in  periodicals.  Brown  University  made  him 
Mus.D.  in  1903.  [  R.7  ]

GRAINGER,  PERCY  ALDRIDGE  (July 


8,  1882,  Melbourne,  Australia).  See  article 
in  Vol.  v.  643.  Though  a  composer  from 
childhood,  his  first  appearance  as  such  was  at 
a  Balfour  Gardiner  concert  in  London  in 
1912,  when  he  conducted  his  'Mock  Morris.' 
His  American  debut  in  recital  was  at  New 
York  on  Feb.  11,  1915;  on  Mar.  13  he  played 
the  Grieg  concerto  with  the  New  York  Phil- 
harmonic Society.  In  June,  1917,  he  enlisted 
as  a  bandsman  in  the  Army,  playing  oboe  and 
saxophone ;  a  year  later  he  became  instructor 
at  the  Army  Music-School  and  became  a  nat- 
uralized citizen.  His  extraordinary  success  as 
virtuoso  is  equaled  by  that  of  his  compositions. 
Of  him  Cyril  Scott  has  written  ('  Musical  Quar- 
terly' July,  1916)  : 

'Contemplating  Grainger' s  entire  musical  per- 
sonality (for,  I  would  repeat,  this  is  essential)  I  see 
in  him  all  those  elements  which  make  the  'immortal 
artist.'  For  he  exists  as  something  quite  new  in 
musical  expressibility ;  he  has  invented  new  forms 
or  considerably  enlarged  and  transformed  old  ones; 
he  is  a  great  harmonic  inventor,  yet,  unlike  Schonberg, 
he  does  not  lead  us  into  the  excruciating.  Further- 
more, although  at  times  he  is  a  little  too  unafraid 
of  the  obvious,  he  is  entirely  consistent  therein  and 
one  sees  at  once  how  little  such  a  thing  is  the  out- 
come of  weakness.  In  addition  to  all  these  char- 
acteristics, he  can  equally  show  forth  a  poetry 
and  pathos  which  speak  in  sublime  dulcitude  to  the 
soul,  and  a  rollicking  liveliness  which  awakens 
energy  almost  in  the  limbs  of  the  decrepit.  Can 
one  demand  a  more  all-encompassing  plane  of 
emotions  in  one  individuality  than  this?  Truly 
it  were  difficult  to  find.' 

Of  his  extensive  total  composition  only 
about  one-third  is  as  yet  published.  The 
present  list  is  as  follows : 

Suite,  'In  a  Nutshell'  —  'Arrival,  Platform  Hum- 
let,'  'Gay,  but  Wistful,'  'Pastoral,'  'The  Gum- 
suckers'  March'  —  for  orchestra,  piano  and 
Deagan  percussion-instruments,  also  for  piano 
solo,  two  pianos  and  (in  part)  theater-orches-

orchestra,  various  smaller  combinations  and 
piano  solo  (Schott). 

'Shepherd's  Hey,'  morris-dance  for  orchestra 
(Schott),  also  for  12  instruments  (Schott),

(July  27,  1867,  Lerida,  Spain  :  Mar.  24, 
1916,  at  sea1),  in  1884-87  studied  under 
Pujol  at  Barcelona  and  Pedrell  at  Madrid 

1  While  escaping  from  the  '  Sussex,'  torpedoed  by  a 
German  submarine, 


and  then  went  to  Paris,  where  he  attended 
de  Beriot's  class  at  the  Conservatory  inter- 
mittently because  of  ill-health.  His  zarzuela 
'Maria  del  Carmen'  was  performed  at  the 
Royal  Theater  in  Madrid  in  1898.  Part  of 
'Folleto'  was  given  at  Barcelona  in  1903. 
'Goyescas'  dates  from  1899.  Not  satisfied 
with  its  original  form,  he  made  from  it  a  piano- 
suite  (played  in  America  by  Schelling),  and 
later  rewrote  the  opera  to  a -new  libretto  by 
Fernando  Periquet.  This  was  accepted  at 
the  Paris  Grand-Op&ra  for  1914-15,  but  given 
up  because  of  the  war.  Its  premiere  was 
at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  New 
York  on  Jan.  28,  1916  —  the  first  Spanish 
opera,  sung  in  Spanish,  given  in  the  United 
States.  Both  composer  and  librettist  were 
present.  It  had  five  performances,  with  fair 
success.  On  Feb.  22  the  composer  and  Miss 
Fitziu,  the  soprano,  gave  a  recital  of  his  music 
at  ^Eolian  Hall.  His  other  works  are  the 
opera  'Miel  de  la  Alcarria'  (1893);  two 
symphonic  poems,  'La  Nit  del  Mort'  and 
'Dante'  (the  latter  played  by  the  Chicago 
Symphony  Orchestra  in  1915,  with  Miss 
Braslau  as  contralto);  'Elisenda,'  a  poem 
for  voice  and  small  orchestra;  a  quartet  for 
strings  and  piano ;  a  trio ;  songs ;  and  a 
number  of  piano-pieces,  of  which  the  two 
books  of  'Goyescas'  are  most  significant.

GRAND  CONSERVATORY,  THE,  of 
New  York,  was  founded  in  1874  by  Ernst 
Eberhard,  who  directed  it  for  about  forty 
years.  Its  plan  was  ambitious  and  for  many 
years  it  had  much  success.

GRASSE,  EDWIN  (Aug.  13,  1884,  New 
York),  despite  the  handicap  of  blindness  from 
infancy,  has  made  an  enviable  record  as 
violinist,  pianist  and  composer.  As  a  child 
he  studied  violin  and  harmony  with  Carl 
Hauser.  In  1898  he  went  to  study  with 
Thomson  in  Brussels,  and  became  a  pupil 
of  the  Royal  Conservatory,  where  in  1900  he 
won  a  first  prize  and  in  1901  was  awarded 
the  'Prix  de  CapaciteV  'with  the  very  highest 
distinction.'  On  Joachim's  advice  he  made 
his  Berlin  d6but  in  1902  with  the  Philharmonic 
Orchestra,  playing  the  Sinding  concerto.  His 
debut  in  New  York  was  with  the  Brahms 
concerto  in  1903.  He  has  toured  with  success 
in  both  Europe  and  America.  His  published 
compositions  for  violin  and  piano  are  a  Sonata 
in  C  (Schirmer) ;  a  Scherzo  Capriccioso  and 
'Waves  at  Play'  (Schirmer) ;  a  Song  without

GRAU,  MAURICE  (1849,  Briinn,  Austria 
:  Mar.  14,  1907,  Paris),  was  brought  to 
America  in  1854  and  graduated  from  the 
College  of  the  City  of  New  York  in  1867  and 
from  the  Columbia  Law  School.  His  connec- 
tion with  music  dates  from  1872,  when  with 
C.  A.  Chizzola  he  managed  the  tours  of 
Rubinstein  and  Wieniawski.  In  1874  they 
managed  a  season  of  opera  bouffe  (in  English) 
by  Emma  Soldene  and  company,  and  in  1875 
Mme.  Aimee  and  her  French  company.  Later 
he  promoted  the  Kellogg  Opera  Company 
and  managed  tours  for  Sarah  Bernhardt, 
Salvini,  Offenbach  and  others.  In  1883-84 
the  firm  of  Abbey,  Schoeffel  and  Grau  leased 
the  Metropolitan  Opera  House,  and  gave 
performances  there  and  in  other  cities  from 
Oct.  22  to  Apr.  12,  with  such  disastrous 
financial  results  that  they  did  not  make 
another  attempt  until  1891-92.  They  con- 
tinued until  1897,  when  the  whole  burden  was 
assumed  by  Grau.  In  1903  ill-health  led  to 
his  retirement.  [  R.6  ] 

GRAUPNER,  JOHANN  CHRISTIAN 
GOTTLIEB  (Oct.  6,  1767,  Verden,  Germany 
:  Apr.  16,  1836,  Boston),  who  had  been  an 
oboe-player  in  a  Hanoverian  regiment  and 
honorably  discharged,  in  1788  went  to  London 
and  in  1791-92  played  there  under  Haydn. 
He  came  to  Prince  Edward's  Island,  and  by 
1795  was  in  Charleston,  where  he  played  in 
the  City  Theatre  orchestra.  Early  in  1797 
he  settled  in  Boston,  and  besides  playing  oboe 
in  and  leading  the  Federal  Street  Theatre 
orchestra,  played  the  double-bass  and  an- 
nounced himself  as  teacher  of  oboe,  German 
flute  and  violin  (see  Sonneck,  Early  Concert- 
Life,  p.  306).  He  is  credited  with  being  'the 
father  of  Negro  song,'  from  the  fact  that  on 
Dec.  30,  1799,  at  the  end  of  the  second  act 
of  'Oroonoko'  (Federal  Street  Theatre,  Boston) 
he  sang  in  character  'The  Gay  Negro  Boy,' 
accompanying  himself  with  the  banjo.  About 
1800  he  opened  a  music-store  ;  he  also  engraved 
and  published  music.  Soon  after  coming  to 
Boston  he  began  to  assemble  players  for  an 
orchestra,  and  this  group  may  have  been  the 


nucleus  of  the  Philharmonic  Orchestra,  which 
gave  its  last  concert  in  1824  after  a  known 
existence  of  some  fifteen  years.  He  was  an 
enthusiast  for  Haydn's  music,  was  active  and 
influential  in  musical  affairs,  and  undoubtedly 
deserves  Bison's  title,  'the  father  of  American 
orchestral  music.'  At  Charleston  in  1796  he 
married  Mrs.  Catherine  Hillier,  who  had  made 
her  debut  at  Boston  as  a  singer  in  1794  (as 
'Mrs.  Heelyer').  She  was  one  of  the  most 
prominent  and  successful  singers  of  the  day. 
She  died  at  Boston  on  May  28,  1821.  For 
these  dates  and  the  Graupner  family-record,

Book,  1909-10,  pp.  920-23.  [  R.2  ]

See  Register,  8. 

GRAY  COMPANY,  THE  H.  W.t  of  New 
York,  was  organized  in  1906  by  H.  Willard 
Gray  to  take  over  the  business  of  the  American 
branch  of  Novello  &  Co.,  the  great  London 
publishers.  This  branch  had  been  established 
in  1883,  eight  years  before  the  change  of  laws 
which  for  the  first  time  gave  foreigners  copy- 
right-protection in  America.  At  first  only  a 
few  American  works  were  taken  into  the 
catalogue,  such  as  Parker's  'Hora  Novissima' 
and  Shelley's  'Vexilla  Regis'  (both  1893), 
but  in  1894-1906  about  100  choral  works  were 
published,  together  with  books  like  the  No- 
vello Music-Course  for  Public  Schools,  Parker's 
(P.  E.)  Hymnal,  the  Hymnal  for  Schools  and 
The  Institute  Hymnal  by  Ives  and  Woodman, 
Stubbs'  Manual  of  Intoning  and  The  Choir- 
Service,  Hulbert's  Voice-Production,  J.  W. 
Goodrich's  Gregorian  Accompaniment  and 
Hall's  Choir-Boy  Training.  Since  1906  at 
least  3000  American  compositions  have  been 
issued,  including  works  by  all  the  foremost 
composers.  Converse's  'The  Pipe  of  Desire,' 
the  first  American  opera  to  be  given  at  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House,  came  out  in  1907. 
Gilbert' s  works  were  taken  over  in  1 9 1 2 .  Among 
important  orchestral  works  are  Converse's 
'Endymion's  Narrative'  and  'Ormazd,'  Gil- 
bert's 'Comedy  Overture'  and  'Negro  Rhap- 
sody,' etc.  The  Company  was  the  first  to  reduce 
the  size  of  folio  sheet-music  to  9X12  in.,  an  inno- 
vation now  adopted  by  most  music-publishers. 
In  1901  the  issue  began  of  '  The  Church  Music 
Review,'  which,  altered  and  enlarged,  became 
'The  New  Music  Review'  in  1904.  This 
monthly,  edited  by  H.  W.  Gray,  has  always 
maintained  a  high  rank  for  keen  editorials,  able 
articles  and  trustworthy  reports  of  musical 
happenings.

The  chorus  numbers  about  150,  besides  a  local 
orchestra  of  35.  Two  to  six  concerts  are 
given  annually,  usually  including  one  by  a 
visiting  orchestra.  The  enterprise  is  main-

269.  In  1907  he  resigned  as  editor  of  the 
4  Kirchenmusikalisches  Jahrbuch'  and  was 
succeeded  by  Karl  Weinmann.  A  large  part

went  to  Italy  for  four  years  of  vocal  study. 
Since  1893  he  has  lived  in  Chicago,  at  first

head  of  the  vocal  department  at  Northwestern 
University  in  Evanston  and  also  since  1896 
at  the  American  Conservatory.  He  has  since

Regarding  his  music  The  Art  of  Music  (1915) 
happily  said, '  Everywhere  in  it  is  energy,  fancy, 
the  spirit  of  youth.  It  bubbles  and  glints, 
running  an  inexhaustible  gamut  of  varying 
tints  and  ingenious  and  poetic  tonal  designs. 
It  is  the  music  of  immense  enjoyment  of  objec- 
tive life,  of  actions,  sights,  emotions  —  too 
eager  and  full  of  action  to  be  deeply  reflective, 
too  happy  to  be  philosophic.'  His  '  Cleopatra's 
Night'  is  thought  by  many  to  be  on  the  whole 
the  most  brilliant  opera  yet  produced  by  an 
American  composer.  [  R.8  ]

HAINES  BROTHERS.  A  well-known  and 
successful  firm  of  piano-makers,  founded  in 
1851  by  Napoleon  J.  Haines,  with  his  brother 
Francis  W.  Haines,  at  first  under  the  name 
of  N.  J.  Haines  &  Co.  They  derived  their

Nunns  and  traced  through  the  New  York 
Pianoforte  Manufacturing  Co.  and  (from  1840) 
A.  H.  Fale  &  Co.  The  Haines  brothers  were

strung' scales.  They  were  the  first  to  give  up 
making  'square'  pianos.  The  firm  is  now  a 
part  of  the  American  Piano  Co.  Their  factory

Phillips  (Exeter)  Academy  and  Yale  College, 
graduating  in  1876.  In  1880  he  became  a  law- 


yer at  Albany,  where  he  also  studied  piano  and

1882  he  went  abroad  for  work  with  Haupt, 
Raif ,  Urban  and  Bargiel  at  Berlin,  with  Rhein- 
berger  at  Munich  and  Faiszt  at  Stuttgart,  and 
with  Guilmant  at  Paris.  In  1887-89  he  was 
organist  at  St.  John's  in  Troy  and  conducted

substantial  work  has  gone  into  the  program- 
books  of  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra, 
which  he  has  prepared  since  1901.  His  writing 
is  always  marked  by  accurate  learning,  bril- 
liancy of  expression  and  not  a  little  satire  and 
humor.  He  has  also  lectured  in  the  Lowell 
Lectures  in  Boston  and  at  many  other  places. 
He  has  edited  Modern  French  Songs,  2  vols.,

HALLET  &  DAVIS  PIANO  COMPANY, 
THE,  of  Boston,  is  derived  from  the  firm  of 
Brown  &  Hallet,  founded  in  1835,  in  which 
Edwin  Brown  was  the  expert  inventor  and 
mechanician  and  Russell  Hallet  the  supplier  of 
capital.  In  1840  they  won  a  first  prize  from 
the  Franklin  Institute  for  refinement  of  tone. 
In  1843  Brown  became  one  of  the  Chickering 
foremen  and  George  H.  Davis  took  his  place. 
The  firm  then  underwent  several  readjustments. 
About  1850,  as  Hallet  &  Davis,  it  became  one 
of  the  best  in  the  country,  as  attested,  for  ex- 
ample, by  a  gold  medal  from  the  Mechanics 
Institute  in  1853.  Mechanically  and  tonally 
pianos  have  received  numerous  similar 


awards  in  recent  years.  Their  type  of  player- 
piano  is  called  the  '  Virtuolo.1

HAMLIN,  GEORGE  JOHN  (Sept.  20,

schools  and  Phillips  (And  over)  Academy, 
studied  singing  with  various  American  and 
European  teachers.  He  was  first  heard  as 
concert- tenor  with  the  St.  Louis  Choral  Society, 
and  in  1898  won  notice  in  Chicago  for  the  first 
entire  program  of  Strauss  songs  given  in  Amer- 
ica. In  1904-06  he  sang  in  England,  France 
and  Germany,  and  in  1911  made  his  operatic 
debut  in  'Natoma'  with  the  Chicago  Opera 
Company,  in  which  he  was  a  leading  tenor  till 
1915.  He  has  been  successful  in  'Carmen,' 
'I  Giojelli  della  Madonna,'  'Tosca,'  'Madama 
Butterfly,'  'The  Cricket  on  the  Hearth'  and 
'Madeleine.'  His  repertoire  of  oratorio  roles

HAMMERSTEIN,  OSCAR  (1847,  Berlin, 
Germany  :  Aug.  1,  1919,  New  York),  came 
to  New  York  in  1863  a  penniless  and  tradeless 
youth  and  found  employment  as  cigar-maker. 


Five  years  later  he  invented  a  cigar-making 
machine,  for  which  he  received  $6000.  All  to- 
gether he  took  out  over  a  hundred  patents  in 
this  business,  in  which  he  never  lost  interest 
and  which  brought  him  large  wealth.  In 
1868  he  wrote  and  produced  three  one-act 
comedies,  one  of  them  set  to  music  by  himself. 
His  activity  as  theatrical  manager  began  in 
1870,  with  the  leasing  of  the  Stadt  Theatre. 
In  1888  he  built  the  Harlem  Opera  House,  and 
followed  it  with  the  Columbus  Theatre,  the 
Harlem  Music  Hall,  the  Murray  Hill  Theatre, 
the  (first)  Manhattan  Opera  House  (1892), 
the  Olympia,  the  Victoria,  the  Republic,  and 
the  Harris,  most  of  which  he  managed  for  a 
longer  or  shorter  period.  In  1906  he  built 
the  second  and  better-known  Manhattan  Opera 
House,  which  was  opened  with  'I  Puritani'  on 
Dec.  3.  With  such  artists  as  Melba,  Nordica, 
Tetrazzini,  Garden,  Bonci,  Dalmores,  Bress- 
ler-Gianoli,  Renaud,  and  Cleofonte  Campanini 
as  conductor,  the  Manhattan  at  once  became 
a  serious  rival  of  the  Metropolitan.  In  1908 
he  built  the  Philadelphia  Opera  House,  running 
it  in  conjunction  with  his  New  York  venture. 
In  April,  1910,  the  Metropolitan  management 
bought  the  Hammerstein  interests,  with  the 
stipulation  that  he  should  not  produce  opera 
in  the  United  States  for  ten  years.  In  1910 
he  transferred  his  activities  to  England,  build- 
ing the  London  Opera  House,  opened  on  Nov. 
13,  1911.  After  an  unsuccessful  season  he 
sold  this  and  in  1913  built  the  American  Opera 
House  in  New  York.  His  plans  for  opera 
here  were  blocked  by  injunction  and  the  house 
(now  known  as  the  Lexington  Opera  House) 
has  been  used  for  grand  opera  only  during 
visits  by  the  Chicago  Opera  Company.  In 
1919  he  announced  his  intention  of  resuming 
grand  opera  in  New  York  in  1920.  Despite 
a  series  of  failures,  he  is  to  be  remembered  for 
the  introduction  of  many  great  artists,  of  nu- 
merous modern  French  operas  (especially 
'Pelleas  et  Melisande'  and  'Louise')  Strauss' 
'Elektra,'  etc.,  and  for  a  thorough  awakening 
of  his  competitors.  See  Krehbiel,  Chapters 
of  Opera  and  More  Chapters  of  Opera.  [  R.7  ] 

HAMMOND,  WILLIAM  CHURCHILL 
(Nov.  25,  1860,  Rockville,  Conn.),  was  a  pupil 
in  organ  of  Allen  in  Hartford  and  S.  P.  Warren 
in  New  York.  Since  1885  he  has  been  organist 
at  the  Second  Congregational  Church  in  Hoi- 
yoke,  Mass.,  where  he  has  given  a  remarkable 
series  of  over  a  thousand  recitals.  In  1919, 
however,  fire,  destroyed  the  church  and  with 
it  his  fine  library.  From  1890  he  was  instructor 
in  organ  at  Smith  College,  and  since  1900  has 
been  head  of  the  music-department  at  Mount 
Holyoke  College,  which  he  has  brought  to  much 
efficiency.  [  R.7  ]

is  a  firm  of  piano-makers  that  has  been  prom- 
inent since  1850,  when  Frederick  and  Henry 
Hazelton  became  partners,  later  joined  by 
John  Hazelton,  a  third  brother.  They  derived 
traditions  of  first-class  work  from  Dubois  & 
Stodart,  and  immediately  gained  recognition 
and  success,  as  attested  by  a  high  award  at 
the  London  Exposition  of  1853  and  often  since. 
They  were  among  the  first  to  adopt  the  full 
iron  frames  and  have  introduced  many  refine- 
ments in  scale.  They  have  a  comprehensive 
type  of  player-piano.

HEDDEN,  WARREN  ROSECRANS  (Dec. 
25,  1861,  New  York),  studied  with  Messiter, 
Archer,  Buck,  Richard  Hoffman  and  C.  C. 
Miiller,  took  his  Mus.B.  at  Toronto  University 
in  1896  and  became  F.  A.  G.  O.  in  1902.  He 
is  known  as  pianist,  concert-organist,  teacher, 
conductor  and  composer.  In  1908-09  he  was 
warden  of  the  A.  G.  O.,  and  during  his  term 
organized  chapters  in  Cleveland,  Rochester, 
Los  Angeles,  Toronto  and  Montreal.  Since 
1913  he  has  been  director  of  the  examinations 
that  the  Guild  holds  in  some  twenty  cities. 
His  best-known  compositions  are  a  Te  Deum 
in  D  (Schirmer)  and  several  Benedicites  (Gray, 
Luckhardt).  [  R.7  ] 

HEIFETZ,  JASCHA  (Feb.  2,  1901,  Vilna, 
Lithuania) ,  was  extremely  precocious  musically, 
taking  short  violin-lessons  from  his  father  at 
three  and  playing  by  ear  various  studies  and 
pieces  with  notable  ease  and  purity  of  intona- 
tion. At  four  he  entered  the  Vilna  music- 
school  and  soon  played  in  public  with  success. 
On  Auer's  advice  he  went  to  the  Conservatory 
in  Petrograd,  where  his  entrance-test  (Glazunov 
being  one  of  the  judges)  won  the  highest  mark 
yet  given.  At  nine  he  played  in  the  largest 
concert-hall  in  Petrograd,  at  ten  with  sym- 
phony orchestras  at  Odessa  and  Kiev,  and  at 
eleven  in  Pavlovsk  and  later  in  Berlin,  where 
he  made  a  sensation.  Within  a  year  he  was 
heard  with  the  Berlin  Philharmonic  under 
Nikisch,  the  Gewandhaus  Orchestra  at  Leipzig 
and  in  Vienna  under  Safonov.  His  studies 
•with  Auer  were  carefully  continued,  and  his 
general  education  under  tutors.  His  last  Eu- 
ropean tour  was  in  Sweden,  Norway  and  Den- 
mark. When  the  Russian  revolution  broke 
out  the  Heifetz  family  came  to  the  United 
States.  His  American  debut  was  in  New  York 
in  1917.  Since  then  he  has  been  extensively 
heard,  always  with  the  highest  admiration.

HEINRICH,  MAX  (June  14,  1853,  Chem- 
nitz, Germany  :  Aug.  9,  1916,  New  York), 
having  studied  with  Klitzsch  in  Zwickau  and 
at  the  Dresden  Conservatory,  in  1873  came  to 
Philadelphia  as  teacher,  removing  in  1876-82 
to  Judson  College  in  Alabama.  In  1882  he 
began  his  notable  career  as  concert-  and  ora- 
torio-baritone by  singing  in  'Elijah'  under 
Leopold  Damrosch  in  New  York.  He  was 
remarkably  successful  in  song-recitals  (playing 
his  own  accompaniments)  and  specialized  in 
works  by  Schubert,  Schumann  and  Brahms. 
He  sang  also  with  leading  orchestras  and  for  a 


time  in  opera.  He  taught  singing  at  the  Royal 
Academy  of  Music  in  London  in  1888-93, 
lived  in  Chicago  in  1894-1903,  in  Boston  in 
1903-10  and  then  in  New  York.  His  '  farewell ' 
recital  was  given  in  Chicago  in  1903,  but  his 
final  public  appearance  was  in  New  York  in 
1915.  He  wrote  songs  and  melodramatic 
settings  of  Poe's  '  Raven'  and  Waller's  'Magda- 
lena,'  edited  classical  German  songs,  trans- 
lated song-texts,  and  wrote  Correct  Principles 
of  Classical  Singing.  His  daughter,  Julia 
Heinrich  (d.  1919),  from  1915  sang  at  the  Met- 
ropolitan Opera  House.  [  R.6  ] 

HEINROTH,  CHARLES  (Jan.  2,  1874, 
New  York) ,  studied  piano  with  Friedheim  and 
Spicker,  organ  with  John  White  and  composi- 
tion with  Herbert.  In  Munich  he  was  a  pupil 
of  Hieber  and  Rheinberger.  In  1893  he  be- 
came organist  at  St.  Paul's  in  Brooklyn,  and 
in  1897-1907  was  at  the  Church  of  the  Ascen- 
sion and  Temple  Beth-El  in  New  York.  He 
taught  organ,  harmony  and  counterpoint  at 
the  National  Conservatory  for  some  years. 
Since  1907  he  has  been  organist  and  director 
of  music  at  the  Carnegie  Institute  in  Pittsburgh 
—  the  first  American  to  be  thus  chosen,  his 
predecessors  being  Archer  and  Lemare.  Each 
season  he  gives  over  seventy  free  organ-recitals 
(Saturday  evenings  and  Sunday  afternoons). 
These  recitals  cover  the  entire  range  of  organ- 
music,  so  that  the  annual  volumes  of  annotated 
programs  constitute  a  handbook  of  organ-liter- 
ature. During  Lent  the  Saturday  evenings 
are  taken  for  lectures  on  pertinent  musical 
topics,  and  in  these  he  has  been  eminently 
effective.  He  is  also  organist  at  the  Third  Pres- 
byterian Church  and  patron  of  the  music-de- 
partment of  the  Carnegie  Institute  of  Tech- 
nology. The  total  number  of  his  recitals 
throughout  the  country  now  approximates 
2000,  including  five  at  the  Panama-Pacific  Ex- 
position in  1915,  a  series  at  the  opening  of  the 
municipal  organ  in  Springfield,  Mass.,  and 
special  programs  before  the  A.  G.  O.  and  the 
N.  A.  O.,  besides  many  on  important  occasions. 
A  recent  critic  says  that  'the  term  virtuoso, 
which  can  be  applied  to  comparatively  few 
of  our  organists,  belongs  rightfully  to  him.'

HENDERSON,  WILLIAM  JAMES  (Dec. 
4,  1855,  Newark,  N.  J.),  has  been  in  various 
phases  of  newspaper-work  since  he  was  fifteen. 
He  graduated  from  Princeton  in  1,886.  He 
studied  singing  under  Angelo  Torriano  and 
piano  under  Carl  Langlotz  (composer  of  the 
college-song  'Old  Nassau').  In  theory  he  is 
mostly  self-taught.  In  1883-1902  he  was  on 
the  staff  of  the  New  York  'Times,'  first  as  re- 
porter, then  as  music-critic.  Since  1902  he 
has  been  critic  for  the  'Sun.'  In  1889-95  he 
lectured  on  music-history  at  the  New  York 
College  of  Music,  and  since  1904  has  lectured 
on  the  development  of  vocal  art  at  the  Institute 
of  Musical  Art.  His  books  are  thoroughly  in- 
teresting and  valuable.  They  include  The 
Story  of  Music,  1889  (12th  ed.,  1912),  Preludes 
and  Studies,  1891,  What  is  Good  Music?,  1898,

Some  Forerunners  of  Italian  Opera,  1911  —  the 
latter  embodying  much  original  research,  be- 
sides The  Soul  of  a  Tenor,  1912,  a  psychological 
study  more  than  a  novel.  He  has  written  the 
libretti  of  several  light  operas  and  also  of  Dam- 
rosch's  opera  'Cyrano  de  Bergerac'  (1913),  and 
published  a  volume  of  poems,  Pipes  and  Tim- 
brels (1905).  In  1892-94  he  was  one  of  the 
associate-editors  of  The  Standard  Dictionary. 
He  has  always  been  an  expert  yachtsman  and 
student  of  naval  subjects,  as  witnessed  by  his 
Sea-Yarns  for  Boys,  1894,  Afloat  with  the  Flag, 
1895,  The  Last  Cruise  of  the  Mohawk,  1897,  and 
—  his  most  widely-circulated  book  —  The 
Elements  of  Navigation,  1895  (many  editions, 
rewritten  in  1918) .  For  twelve  years  he  was  an 
officer  in  the  Naval  Militia,  was  commissioned 
lieutenant  in  the  Spanish  War,  and  in  1917- 
18  was  instructor  in  navigation  for  the  Naval 
Militia  of  New  York.  He  has  written  stories, 
poems  and  essays  for  a  large  number  of  Ameri- 
can and  English  magazines.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  Institutes  of  Arts  and  Letters  and  of 
Social  Sciences.  (  R.7  ]

Peter's  and  later  at  the  Peabody  Conservatory, 
where  he  graduated  in  1906,  his  teachers  being 
Randolph  in  piano,  Barkworth  in  organ  and 
Boise  in  composition.  While  studying  he  be- 
gan memory-playing  on  the  organ.  For  a  year 
he  taught  at  Hood  College  in  Frederick,  Md., 
substituted  for  Boise  and  Brockway  at  the 
Conservatory,  and  from  1913  taught  in  its 
preparatory  department.  As  an  organist  he 
has  been  constantly  employed  since  1901,  alto- 
gether in  Baltimore  except  in  1909-10,  when 
he  was  in  New  Orleans.  Since  1911  he  has 
been  at  Christ  Church  in  Baltimore.  Since 
1903  he  has  given  many  recitals  in  Baltimore 
and  elsewhere  (as  at  the  Jamestown  Exposi- 
tion in  1907),  invariably  from  memory.  He 
became  F.  A.  G.  O.  in  1914,  and  has  been  prom- 
inent in  the  Maryland  Chapter,  becoming  dean 
in  1919.  Since  1910  he  has  been  also  engaged 
in  newspaper-work  with  the  Baltimore  'Star,' 
beginning  as  a  reporter,  but  soon  becoming

HEYMAN 


HILL 


HEYMAN,  HENRY  (Jan.  13,  1855,  Oak- 
land, Cal.),  was  educated  at  Oakland  College 
(now  the  University  of  California) .  In  1870  he 
went  to  Leipzig,  studying  with  David,  Roent- 
gen, Hermann,  Reinecke  and  Jadassohn,  and  for 
five  years  was  a  violinist  in  the  Gewandhaus  Or- 
chestra. Returning  to  San  Francisco  in  1877, 
he  at  once  began  a  series  of  orchestral  and  cham- 
ber-music concerts,  at  which  many  important 
works  were  performed  for  the  first  time  in  San 
Francisco.  In  1880  he  made  a  concert-tour 
of  Pacific  Coast  cities,  visiting  also  Victoria 
and  Vancouver.  The  next  year  he  became 
concertmaster  of  the  Philharmonic  Orchestra, 
directed  by  Hinrichs,  and  also  brought  out  a 
string-quartet  by  Kelley.  In  1884  he  made  a 
concert-trip  to  Honolulu,  and  was  appointed 
violinist  to  King  Kalakaua  and  was  knighted. 
By  means  of  his  many  concerts,  including  those 
of  the  Heyman  String-Quartet,  he  has  con- 
tinually introduced  classic  and  modern  com- 
positions to  California  audiences.  He  has  also 
worked  to  raise  the  social  standing  of  local 
musicians.  For  over  forty  years  he  has  been  a 
member  of  the  famous  Bohemian  Club  and  was 
made  an  honorary  life-member  in  1918.  The 
dean  of  violinists  and  teachers  on  the  Pacific 
Coast,  he  has  an  international  reputation  for 
hospitality  extended  to  musicians  and  artists 
who  visit  San  Francisco,  and  numbers  among 
his  friends  an  extraordinary  number  of  celebri- 
ties. In  the  great  fire  of  1906  he  lost  not  only 
his  library  and  collection  of  instruments,  with 
many  valuable  souvenirs,  but  all  his  manuscript 
works,  including  many  revised  violin-etudes. 
Compositions  that  have  been  dedicated  to 
him  are  Saint-Saens'  'Elegie'  for  violin  and 
piano,  Jadassohn's  Romanza,  op.  87,  and 
Musin's  Berceuse  and  Waltz.  [  R.6  ] 

HEYMAN,  KATHERINE  RUTH  WIL- 
LOUGHBY,  born  in  Sacramento,  had  a  variety 
of  teachers  in  America  and  abroad.  In  1899 
she  made  her  debut  as  pianist  with  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra  and  then  toured  exten- 
sively, in  1905-15  in  Europe.  Since  1916  she 
has  traveled  again  in  the  United  States.  She 
has  been  active  in  presenting  unfamiliar  works 
—  introducing  American  composers  in  Ger- 
many and  Russia,  and  Russian  composers  in 
America.  Thus  in  1899  she  gave  the  first 
American  rendering  of  Arensky's  concerto  and 
in  1919  the  first  American  recital  of  Scriabin 
alone  (4th  and  8th  Sonatas,  etc.).  She  has 
also  lectured  on  the  contrast  between  Oriental 
and  Occidental  music.  Various  songs  have  been 
published  (Schirmer,  Schmidt,  etc.) .  [  R.8  ]

HIGGINSON,  HENRY  LEE  (Nov.  18, 
1834,  New  York  :  Nov.  15,  1919,  Boston), 
after  a  partial  course  at  Harvard  was  trained 
as  a  banker,  but  also  in  1856-60  studied  sing- 
ing, piano  and  composition  at  Vienna.  In  the 


Civil  War  he  became  major  and  lieutenant- 
colonel  by  brevet  in  the  1st  Mass.  Cavalry, 
and  in  1863  was  badly  wounded.  From  1868 
he  was  a  member  of  the  banking  firm  of  Lee, 
Higginson  &  Co.  He  was  always  active  in 
educational  undertakings  —  on  the  corporation 
of  Harvard  from  1893,  trustee  of  the  Carnegie 
Institution,  of  the  New  England  Conservatory, 
etc.  In  1881  he  established  the  Boston  Sym- 
phony Orchestra,  provided  an  endowment  of 
about  $1,000,000  for  its  maintenance,  and  for 
over  thirty-five  years  directed  its  policy  with 
conspicuous  wisdom.  In  1918  he  relinquished 
control  to  a  Board  of  Directors.  [  R.7  ] 

HILL,  EDWARD  BURLINGAME  (Sept. 
9,  1872,  Cambridge,  Mass.),  was  born  into 
Harvard  traditions,  being  the  son  of  a  pro- 
fessor and  grandson  of  a  president.  In  1894 
he  graduated  there  with  highest  honors  in 
music,  having  taken  all  of  the  courses  under 
Paine.  He  continued  study  with  Lang,  Bui- 
lard,  Arthur  Whiting,  and  Howard  Parkhurst 
in  Boston  and  New  York,  and  with  Breitner 
and  Widor  in  Paris.  Later  he  also  took  or- 
chestration under  Chadwick.  For  some  years 
he  taught  piano  and  harmony  in  Boston,  was 
critic  for  the  'Transcript'  and  wrote  on  music 
for  magazines.  Since  1908  he  has  been  con- 
nected with  the  Division  of  Music  at  Harvard, 
at  first  as  instructor  and  from  1918  as  assistant- 
professor.  Until  the  war  he  was  head  of  the 
Boston  group  of  the  I.  M.  S.,  and  is  now  presi- 
dent of  the  Composers'  Club  of  Boston  and 
secretary  of  the  American  Friends  of  Musicians 
in  France.  Besides  developing'unusual  courses 
in  the  critical  analysis  of  musical  style  for  his 
Harvard  classes,  he  has  done  fine  original  work.

HILL,  JUNIUS  WELCH  (Nov.  18,  1840 
Hingham,  Mass.),  after  studying  with  J.  C.  D. 
Parker  in  Boston,  in  1860-63  was  in  Leipzig 
under  Moscheles,  Hauptmann,  Reinecke,  Plaidy 
and  Richter.  He  was  then  organist  at  Tremont 
Temple,  Shawmut  Church,  Tremont  Street 
(M.  E.)  Church  in  Boston  and  at  Harvard 
Church  in  Brookline.  In  1884-97  he  was  pro- 
fessor at  Wellesley  College  and  then  taught  in 
Boston  until,  retiring  from  active  musical  life, 
he  removed  to  Los  Angeles.  An  excellent 
musician  and  teacher,  he  was  particularly  suc- 
cessful in  establishing  high  standards  for  the 
music-department  at  Wellesley.  Mrs.  Beach 
was  his  pupil  in  1881-82.  He  has  composed 
many  choruses  for  women's  voices  and  edited

graduated  from  Valparaiso  (Ind.)  University 
in  1888,  studying  voice  and  harmony  there 
with  R.  A.  Heritage,  and  later  continued  vocal 
study  with  L.  G.  Gottschalk  and  L.  A.  Phelps

he  sang  for  four  years.  In  1903  he  opened  the 
Hinshaw  School  of  Opera  in  Chicago  (later 
merged  with  the  Chicago  Conservatory),  of 
which  he  was  president  till  1907.  Since  1909 
he  has  engaged  in  operatic  work,  first  as  founder 
and  director  of  the  International  Grand  Opera 
Company  in  Chicago,  in  1910-13  as  baritone 
at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  New  York, 
and  since  1917  as  business-manager  and  presi- 
dent of  the  Society  of  American  Singers  in

one-act  opera  by  an  American  composer  was 
awarded  in  1917  to  H.  K.  Hadley  for  'Bianca.' 
His  repertory  includes  over  fifty  roles,  from 
Wagner  operas  (he  sang  at  the  Wagner  festival 
in  Graz,  1912,  and  the  'Ring'  festival  in  Berlin, 
1914)  to  comic  opera  and  baritone-parts  in

began  at  Trinity  Church  in  1846  there  was 
much  objection  to  the  severity  of  English 
cathedral  music.  His  Service  in  D,  written  to 
overcome  this,  he  called  his  '  New  York  Service.'

the  General  Theological  Seminary  in  1854.  In 
1854-56  he  was  assistant  at  Trinity  Church  in 
Pittsburgh,  in  1856-59  taught  at  Nashotah 
Theological  Seminary  in  Wisconsin,  hi  1860 
was  rector  at  Grace  Church  in  Newark,  and 
from  1870  at  St.  Paul's  in  Baltimore,  becoming 
emeritus  in  1906.  He  was  an  excellent  organist 
and  composed  many  services,  anthems,  tunes 
and  chants.  He  compiled  The  Book  of  Com- 
mon Praise,  1868,  and  had  much  to  do  with 
the  successive  revisions  of  the  Episcopal  Hym- 
nal. He  founded  in  Baltimore  the  earliest 
choir-school  in  the  United  States.  [  R.5  ] 

HODGKINSON,  JOHN  [real  name  Mead- 
owcraft]  (1767,  England  :  1805,  Washing- 
ton), and  his  wife,  nee  Arabella  Brett,  were 
popular  stage-singers  who  in  1792  were  brought 
to  New  York  by  John  Henry  as  leading  mem- 
bers of  the  Old  American  Company,  appearing 
chiefly  in  New  York,  Philadelphia  and  Boston, 
but  also  in  Hartford  and  Providence,  for  about 
ten  years.  In  1794-96  Hallam  and  Hodgkin- 
son  replaced  Henry  in  the  direction  of  the  Com- 
pany and  in  1796-98  Hodgkinson  and  Dunlap 
were  similarly  associated.  From  1797  Hodg- 
kinson managed  the  Haymarket  Theatre  in 
Boston  at  intervals.  Both  he  and  his  wife 
often  sang  in  concerts,  but  his  ambition  was 
for  dramatic  parts  and  the  managing  of  com- 
panies. He  had  unusual  memory,  readiness 
and  effectiveness  as  an  actor.  In  1796  he  took 
the  leading  r61e  in  the  production  of  Carr's 
'The  Archers.'  In  1795-99  he  was  president 
of  the  Columbian  Anacreontic  Society  in  New 
York,  which  he  probably  founded.  He  died 
of  yellow  fever  and  his  wife  of  consumption.

versary of  his  first  appearance  in  New  York. 
On  this  occasion,  besides  a  Chopin  Nocturne 
and  Ballade,  he  played  in  Hummel's  Septet 
(on  the  program  in  1847),  Mozart's  Piano- 
Quartet  in  G  minor  and  a  Bach  concerto. 
After  this  he  gradually  gave  up  playing  in 
public,  though  teaching  till  his  last  days.  He 
joined  Gottschalk  in  two-piano  pieces  in  the 
'60s  at  his  New  York  concerts  and  played  with 
Von  Biilow  in  1875  (Bach's  Triple  concerto  in 
D  minor).  See  his  Musical  Recollections  of

HOLMBERG,  GUSTAF  FREDRIK  (Aug. 
17,  1872,  Fridened  Parish,  Sweden),  came  to 
America  in  1891,  having  had  a  good  general 
education,  including  some  violin-lessons.  At 
Bethany  College  in  Kansas,  where  he  graduated 
from  the  music-school  in  1&99,  he  was  concert- 
master  and  assistant-conductor  in  the  orchestra 
at  the  annual  festivals,  and  continued  as  teacher 
of  violin  and  harmony.  Since  1903  he  has  been 
music-director  at  the  University  of  Oklahoma 
at  Norman,  where  from  small  beginnings  a 
notable  department  was  rapidly  developed, 
now  forming  part  of  the  School  of  Fine  Arts,  of 
which  he  has  been  dean  since  1909.  Not  only 
are  choral  and  orchestral  concerts  prominent, 
but  interscholastic  contests  in  music,  art  and 
expression  have  since  1912  become  keen  and 
absorbing.  He  has  also  lectured  widely  on 
musical  and  artistic  subjects.  [  R.8  ]

HOOK,  E.  &  G.  G.,  was  an  organ-making 
business  started  in  1827  at  Salem,  Mass.,  by 
Elias  and  George  G.  Hook,  the  former  having 
been  an  apprentice  of  William  M.  Goodrich. 
In  1832  they  moved  to  Boston,  where  they  be- 
came for  many  years  leading  manufacturers. 
Up  to  1855  they  built  170  organs.  At  that 
time  Frank  H.  Hastings  (1836-1916)  joined 
them,  becoming  a  partner  in  1865,  when  the 
firm  became  Hook  &  Hastings.  In  1887  a  fine 
new  factory  was  built  at  Kendal  Green,  Mass., 
and  in  1893  the  business  was  incorporated  as 
the  Hook  &  Hastings  Co.  The  total  output 
of  the  firm  since  the  beginning  is  about  2500 
instruments,  including  many  that  have  been 
famous.  See  Jones,  Handbook  of  American 
Music  and  Musicians,  p.  76.

organist  of  the  Birkenhead  School  Chapel,  at 
seventeen  was  apprenticed  to  Laird  Bros.,  an 
electrical  and  shipbuilding  firm  at  Birkenhead, 
and  later  became  chief  engineer  of  the  National 
Telephone  Co.  His  interest  in  the  organ  per- 
sisted, and  despite  his  progress  as  an  electrical 
inventor,  he  turned  to  organ-building  in  1889. 
He  came  to  the  United  States  in  1903,  and  for 
two  years  was  'with  the  Austin  Organ  Co.  and 
for  two  more  with  the  Skinner  Co.  In  1907 
the  Hope-Jones  Organ  Co.  was  formed  and 
located  at  Elmira,  N.  Y. ;  but  in  1910  this  was 
taken  over  by  the  Wurlitzer  Co.,  and  the  plant 
moved  to  North  Tonawanda,  N.  Y.  He  held 
decidedly  radical  views  about  organ-making, 
introducing  a  long  series  of  ingenious  inventions 
and  advocating  them  with  zeal,  but  many  of 
them  have  not  been  widely  approved,  despite 
their  cleverness.  See  Vol.  iii.  551-2,  and  Miller,

a  favorite  teacher  in  Boston.  From  1919  she 
returned  to  Edinburgh  for  part  of  each  year. 
She  introduced  in  America  many  works  by

Debussy,  the  d'Indy  quartet  (Boston,  1901), 
and  the  Faure  quintet  in  D  minor  (New  York, 
1907).  Her  compositions  include  about  100 
songs  (about  half  of  them  published),  such  as 
'Under  the  Still,  White  Stars'  (violin-obbli- 
gato),  'My  Heart's  in  the  Highlands'  (for 
chorus),  eleven  on  poems  of  Fiona  Macleod,

HOPKINS,  EDWARD  JEROME  (Apr.  4, 


1836,  Burlington,  Vt.  :  Nov.  4,  1898,  Athe- 
nia,  N.  J.),  began  organ-playing  at  ten,  at- 
tended the  University  of  Vermont  and  the 
New  York  Medical  College,  but  from  1856, 
though  self-taught  in  music,  undertook  teach- 
ing, lecturing  and  composing.  In  1856  he 
founded  the  American  Music  Association  to 
promote  works  by  American  composers,  in 
1865  the  Orpheon  Free  Schools  in  New  York, 
which  in  twenty  years  enrolled  over  30,000 
pupils,  and  in  1868  'The  New  York  Philhar- 
monic Journal, '  which  he  conducted  till  1885. 
He  gave  'lecture-concerts'  throughout  the 
country,  and  for  some  years  was  church-organ- 
ist. He  composed  over  700  works  —  the  operas 
'Samuel'  (1877,  New  York)  and  'Dumb  Love' ; 
a  symphony;  'Easter  Festival  Vespers'  for 
three  choirs,  two  organs,  orchestra,  harp  and 
cantor ;  a  fantasia  for  five  pianos ;  etc.  Two 
collections  of  church-music,  an  Orpheon  Class- 
Book  and  other  works  were  published.  [  R.4  ]

1873).  See  Register,  8. 

HOPKINSON,  FRANCIS  (Sept.  21,  1737, 
Philadelphia  :  May  9,  1791,  Philadelphia), 
seems  likely  to  stand,  as  Sonneck  calls  him, 
'the  first  native  poet-composer  of  the  United 
States. '  He  was  the  first  student  matriculated 
at  what  is  now  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
where  he  graduated  in  1757  and  was  made  A.M. 
in  1760  and  LL.  D.  in  1790.  In  1761  he  was 
admitted  to  the  bar,  in  1766-67  was  in  England, 
and  became  active  in  politics  from  1768.  In 
1774  he  became  a  member  of  the  Provincial 
Council  of  New  Jersey  and  in  1776,  represent- 
ing that  state,  was  a  signer  of  the  Declaration 
of  Independence.  In  1787  he  participated  in 
the  convention  that  framed  the  Constitution 
of  the  new  United  States.  In  1779  he  was 
made  Admiralty  Judge  for  Pennsylvania  and 
in  1790  Judge  of  the  United  States  District 
Court.  Besides  more  serious  writing,  he 
exerted  much  influence  through  poems  and 
satires.  His  essays  and  miscellaneous  writings 
were  published  in  three  volumes  in  1792  (see 
Allibone,  Dictionary  of  Authors). 

He  evidently  took  up  the  harpsichord  when 
about  seventeen  and  attained  considerable 
proficiency.  At  the  College  Commencement 
of  1760  he  was  represented  as  composer  and 
he  may  have  then  played  on  the  new  organ. 
In  1764  the  vestry  of  Christ  and  St.  Peter's 
United  Churches  thanked  him  for  teaching  the 
children  to  sing,  and  in  the  same  year  the  con- 
sistory of  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church  in  New 
York  employed  him  to  make  an  English  version 
of  their  Psalter.  He  invented  an  improved 
method  of  quilling  harpsichords,  which  at- 
tracted attention  in  Europe,  and  he  followed 
Franklin  in  experimenting  with  the  harmonica. 

A  collection  of  songs  composed  by  Hopkinson 
was  begun  in  1759,  and  his  '  My  days  have  been

so  wondrous  free,'  from  that  year,  is  doubtless 
the  earliest  extant  secular  piece  of  American 
origin.  In  1788  a  set  of  Seven  Songs  for  the 
Harpsichord  or  Forte-Piano  —  '  the  Words  and 
Music  by  Francis  Hopkinson'  was  published 
in  Philadelphia.  It  is  dedicated  to  Washington, 
and  in  so  doing  Hopkinson  claims  the  credit '  of 
being  the  first  Native  of  the  United  States  who 
has  produced  a  Musical  Composition.'  See 
O.  G.  Sonneck,  article  in  /.  M.  G.  Sammelbde.

(1919).  [  R.I  ] 

'HORA  NOVISSIMA.'  An  oratorio  by 
Horatio  Parker,  op.  30,  finished  in  1893  and 
first  given  by  the  New  York  Church  Choral 
Society  at  Holy  Trinity  Church.  The  text, 
effectively  translated  by  the  composer's  mother, 
is  taken  from  the  famous  poem  of  Bernard  of 
Cluny.  It  immediately  took  rank  as  the 
strongest  oratorio  by  an  American  composer, 
and  has  been  extensively  performed  both  in 
America  and  in  England.

HUGHES,  RUPERT  (Jan.  31,  1872,  Lan- 
caster, Mo.),  graduated  from  Adelbert  College 
in  Cleveland  in  1892,  and  had  some  lessons  in 
theory  from  W.  G.  Smith  and  from  Kelley,  as 
well  as  later  from  C.  W.  Pearce  in  London,  but 
is  largely  self-educated  in  music.  His  first 
published  songs  date  from  1892  —  'Tears,  Idle 
Tears '  and  '  In  a  Gondola. '  In  1900  appeared 
'Midnight  in  Venice'  and  a  group  of  ten  on 
words  by  Riley.  One  of  the  most  ambitious  is 
'  Cain,'  a  dramatic  monologue  with  original 
words,  presenting  some  fruits  of  investigation 
in  the  realm  of  dissonances.  Many  songs  and 
piano-pieces  are  as  yet  unpublished.  His  lat- 
est composition  is  a  'Funeral  March  for  the 
American  Dead  in  France.'  Writing  about 
music  has  occupied  a  large  amount  of  his  time 
and  energy,  and  he  has  become  known  both 
for  his  acute  discrimination  and  his  picturesque 
style.  He  was  music-critic  for  the  New  York 
'Criterion'  in  1898-90,  and  since  then  has  been 


a  frequent  contributor  to  various  papers  and 
periodicals.  His  Contemporary  American  Com- 
posers, 1900  (enlarged  by  Arthur  Elson,  1915), 
was  a  pioneer  work,  based  on  the  study  of  large 
quantities  of  manuscripts  and  printed  music. 
His  Love-Affairs  of  Great  Musicians,  2  vols., 

1903,  was  also  a  work  of  painstaking  research. 
The  more  prosaic,  but  comprehensive  Musical 
Guide,  2  vols.,  1903,  was  later  recast  in  one 
volume  as  The  Music- Lover's  Cyclopedia,  1912. 
He  also  compiled  Songs  by  Thirty  Americans, 

1904,  made  up  of  original  contributions.     His 
novel  'Zal,'  1905,  is  a  study  of  the  psychology 
of  the  concert-pianist.     He  has  been  also  an 
industrious  writer  of  stories  (from  1899)  and 
plays  (from  1902),  of  which  a  list  is  given  in 
Who's  Who  in  America,  besides  contributing 
to    magazines    and    cyclopedias.     He    began 
military  service  as  a  private  in  the  N.  Y.  N.  G. 
in  1897,  becoming  captain  in  1908,  and  in  1916 
was  on  active  duty  on  the  Mexican  border.     In 
1917  he  was  assistant  to  the  Adjutant-General 
in  New  York,  and  in  1918  was  commissioned 
major  in  the  United  States  Army.       [  R.8  ]

have  given  him  a  high  place  among  American 
essayists,  and  several  of  them  have  been  trans- 
lated into  other  languages.  His  extraordinary 
range  of  knowledge  in  music,  literature  and  art, 
combined  with  his  brilliant  and  witty  style, 
holds  the  interest,  however  one  may  feel  about 
his  judgments.  [  R.7  ]

HUSS,  HENRY  HOLDEN  (June  21,  1862, 
Newark,  N.  J.) ,  through  his  father  is  descended 
from  the  brother  of  the  Bohemian  patriot  and 
martyr,  John  Huss.  His  first  study  was  under 
his  father,  later  continued  with  Boise  and  for 
three  years  with  Rheinberger  and  Giehrl  at  the 
Munich  Conservatory,  where  he  graduated  in 
1885.  At  his  graduation  he  played  his  Rhap- 
sody for  piano  and  orchestra  —  later  also  played 
with  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  in  1887 
and  in  New  York  with  Van  der  Stucken.  His 
piano-concerto  in  B  he  has  played  with  the 
Boston  Symphony,  New  York  Philharmonic, 
Pittsburgh,  Cincinnati  and  St.  Paul  Orchestras- 
He  has  also  given  his  violin-sonata  with  Hart- 
mann,  Kneisel,  Spiering,  Lichtenberg  and 
others,  and  his  'cello-sonata  with  Schroeder, 
Hambourg,  May  Mukle  and  others.  The  Kneisel 
Quartet  introduced  his  string-quartet,  and  an 
early  piano-trio  was  given  by  the  composer, 
Kneisel  and  Hekking  in  Boston.  In  1904  he 
married  Hildegard  Hoffmann,  the  concert-so- 
prano, and  they  have  given  many  joint  recitals 
in  the  United  States  and  in  Europe.  His 
compositions  include  the  following 

'Wald-Idylle,'   op.   2,   for   small   orchestra    (1884, 

Munich).

HUTCHESON,  ERNEST  (July  20,  1871, 
Melbourne,  Australia),  when  between  five  and 
seven,  trained  by  Vogrich  and  Torrance,  toured 
Australia  as  a  child-pianist.  At  fourteen  he 
went  to  Leipzig  to  study  piano  under  Reinecke 
and  Zwintscher  and  composition  under  Jadas- 
sohn.  At  .nineteen  he  made  a  second  tour  in 
Australia.  He  then  continued  study  under 
Stavcnhagen  at  Weimar,  where  he  was  keeping 
alive  the  Liszt  traditions.  From  1898  he  was 
highly  successful  in  Berlin  as  pianist,  conductor 
and  composer.  In  1900  he  became  chief  piano- 
teacher  at  the  Peabody  Conservatory  in  Balti- 
more, but  resigned  in  1912  to  have  time  for 
more  concert-work.  After  two  years  in  Europe, 
principally  Germany,  in  1914  he  settled  in  New 
York.  In  1911  he  succeeded  Sherwood  as  head 
of  the  piano-department  of  the  Chautauqua 
Institution.  The  best-known  of  his  many 
prominent  piano-pupils  is  Olga  Samaroff  (Mrs. 
Stokowski).  He  has  composed  a  symphonic 
poem,  an  orchestral  suite,  a  piano-concerto,  a 
concerto  for  two  pianos  and  a  violin-concerto. 


Some  piano-pieces  have  been  published.  He 
has  also  written  the  excellent  text-book,  The 
Elements  of  Piano-Technique,  a  guide  to  Strauss' 
'Elektr a,' and  many  musical  articles.  [  R.9  ]

See  Register,  8. 

HYLLESTED,  AUGUST  (June  17,  1858, 
Stockholm,  Sweden),  played  in  public  when  but 
eight,  for  three  years  was  trained  by  Holger 
Dahl  and  then  went  to  the  Copenhagen  Con- 
servatory to  study  piano  with  Neupert,  com- 
position and  orchestration  with  Gade,  counter- 
point with  Hartmann,  violin  with  Tofte  and 
organ  with  Attrup.  He  made  his  second  tour 
of  Scandinavia  in  1875,  and  became  conductor 
and  organist  at  the  Cathedral  in  Copenhagen. 
In  1879  he  worked  with  Kullak  and  Kiel  at. 
Berlin  and  in  1880  won  approval  from  Liszt. 
In  1883-84  he  toured  in  Great  Britain  and  in 
1885  made  his  debut  in  New  York,  followed  by 
concerts  in  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
In  1886-91  he  was  assistant-director  of  the 
Chicago  Musical  College  and  in  1891-94  head 
of  the  piano-department  in  the  Gottschalk 
Lyric  School.  After  three  years  of  concertizing 
in  England,  France,  Germany  and  Scandinavia 
he  returned  to  Chicago  as  player  and  teacher. 
He  has  received  distinguished  honors  from 
more  than  one  European  court.  His  published 
works  include  'Elizabeth,'  a  symphonic  poem 
with  double  chorus  (produced  under  his  direc- 
tion in  1897,  London) ;  incidental  music  to  '  Die 
Rheinnixe ' ;  a  '  Marche  Triomphale '  for  or- 
chestra; 'Scandinavian  Dances,'  fantasias, 
two  suites  and  smaller  pieces  for  piano.  In 
manuscript  are  two  piano-trios,  a  piano-sonata, 
'Variations  Serieuses,'  a  suite  for  piano  and 
songs.  [  R.7  ] 

HYMN-BOOKS  WITH  TUNES.  Except 
for  a  limited  number  of  Psalters  in  the  17th 
century,  American  churches  did  not  have  ser- 
vice-books for  congregational  song  that  con- 
tained both  words  and  music  in  conjunction 
until  about  1850.  During  what  may  be  called 
the  first  period  of  development  of  hymn-singing 
(1720-1820)  such  tunes  as  were  imported, 
adapted  or  composed  were  accumulated  in 
separate  Tune-Books  (see  article),  which,  be- 
sides supplying  material  for  the  'singing- 
schools,'  tended  more  and  more  to  build  up 
choir-singing  rather  than  to  be  used  by  con- 
gregations as  such.  In  the  early  decades  of 
the  19th  century,  however,  when  two  or  three 
types  of  religious  assembly  that  were  novel  be- 
came common,  a  demand  arose  for  books  with 
words  and  music  printed  together.  At  first 
books  of  this  kind  were  not  meant  for  the  more 
formal  services,  but  for  Sunday-schools,  in- 
formal 'social'  meetings  and  evangelistic  gather- 
ings. Thus  was  started  a  movement  of  publi- 
cation that  soon  attained  large  dimensions. 
During  the  century  since  1820  hundreds  of 


250 


HYMN-BOOKS 


HYMN-BOOKS 


small  books  have  been  put  forth,  representing 
various  grades  of  ability,  taste  and  sincerity. 
Taken  together,  these  lesser  books  have  con- 
tained a  huge  amount  of  original  music,  but 
usually  of  so  trivial  and  ephemeral  a  character 
that  no  summary  of  them  is  here  attempted. 

But  meanwhile,  from  the  appearance  in  1831 
of  Leavitt's  'Christian  Lyre'  and  Hastings 
and  Mason's  'Spiritual  Songs'  (its  immediate 
rival),  the  new  movement  pointed  toward  a 
type  of  service-book  for  dignified  church  use, 
and  such  books  began  to  be  made  after  about 
1850.  The  music  was  taken  from  existing 
tune-books  or  followed  in  their  style.  The 
bulk  of  it  was  American  in  origin.  After  1860, 
however,  the  usage  of  Episcopal  churches  began 
to  be  affected  by  the  transition  in  England  that 
was  embodied  in  '  Hymns  Ancient  and  Modern' 
(1861  and  later).  This  epoch-making  book 
was  at  once  imported,  reprinted  (from  1866), 
adopted  by  many  Episcopal  churches,  and 
increasingly  considered  by  editors  of  other  de- 
nominations. The  influence  of  the  several 
types  of  tune  in  Anglican  usage,  combined 
probably  with  other  tendencies  in  American 
music,  produced  a  progressive  alteration  of 
standard  in  the  demands  of  congregations  and 
the  practice  of  editors.  Especially  after  1880, 
the  larger  church  hymnals,  whether  issued  by 
denominational  authority  or  by  independent 
editors  and  publishers,  have  generally  sought 
to  combine  tunes  of  many  styles  —  the  old 
American  type,  the  juvenile  or  evangelistic 
type,  the  chorale-types  of  England  and  Ger- 
many, the  English  part-song  type,  etc.  —  and 
often  also  to  stimulate  fresh  composition.  The 
proportion  of  these  elements  varies  greatly, 
and  the  scholarship  and  judgment  of  individual 
editors  also  vary.  But,  on  the  whole,  there 
has  been  notable  advance.1 

On  the  whole,  then,  the  series  of  books  that 
has  been  compiled  from  various  sources  offers 
curious  and  interesting  evidence  of  the  growth 
of  one  side  of  popular  musical  culture  —  a  side 
which  undoubtedly  affects  the  appreciation  of 
a  vast  number  of  users  and  which  has  attracted 
effort  in  original  composition  that  is  by  no 
means  insignificant.  The  list  is  doubtless  far 
from  complete,  but  it  is  sufficient  to  indicate 
the  extent  of  the  literature.  The  editor's 
name  is  added  in  most  cases,  and  an  abbrevia- 
tion that  indicates  the  denomination  for  which 
the  book  is  intended.

1  Copyright  considerations  have  played  no  small 
part  in  the  process.  In  many  books  commercial 
reasons  have  kept  down  the  number  of  tunes  protected 
by  American  copyright  and  increased  that  of  tunes 
taken  from  English  sources.  Often  what  was  artisti- 
cally better  was  at  the  same  time  cheaper.

IDE,  CHESTER  EDWARD  (June  13, 1878, 
Springfield,  111.),  after  having  been  a  pupil  of 
Prout,  Corder  and  Davenport  at  the  Royal 
Academy  of  Music  in  London,  taught  piano 
and  harmony  in  Springfield  till  1916.  He 
has  since  taught  harmony  at  the  Music  School 
Settlement  in  New  York  and  piano  privately. 
He  has  composed  the  orchestral  suite  'Idyllic 
Dances ' ;  the  symphonic  poem  '  Pan's  Dream 
of  Syrinx ' ;  an  orchestral  suite  in  four  move- 
ments —  'Thoughts  of  Winter,'  'Frolic,'  'Fire- 
side-Dreams,' '^Eolus';  songs  with  orchestra, 
'Queen  of  Bubbles'  and  'Autumn  Songs'  (texts 
by  the  composer) ;  incidental  music  for  Mac- 
kaye's  masque  '  Caliban ' ;  songs  and  piano- 
pieces.  He  has  also  edited  a  collection  of  50 
folk-songs  for  primary  study  (1917,  Schirmer).

INDIAN  MUSIC.  Within  the  past  half- 
century  there  has  been  a  significant  and  grow- 
ing interest  in  the  music  of  the  North  American 
Indians.  The  motive  behind  this  developing 
attention  has  been  partly  ethnological  and 
partly  artistic,  and  in  the  case  of  many  inves- 
tigators the  two  purposes  have  been  happily 
blended.  The  one  aim  is  to  collect,  analyze 
and  codify  the  facts  as  part  of  the  total  body 
of  knowledge  regarding  a  vanishing  race,  so  as 
to  facilitate  the  comparison  of  them  with  similar 
facts  in  other  fields.  The  other  aim  is  to  pene- 
trate into  sympathy  with  the  instinct  and  im- 
pulse behind  the  facts,  to  interpret  the  artistic 
spirit  which  they  embody,  to  set  forth  actual 
songs,  themes  or  figures  for  general  apprecia- 
tion or  for  use  in  new  production,  or  so  to  ab- 
sorb the  essence  of  the  style  as  to  incorporate 
its  spirit  in  characteristic  composition  without 
direct  imitation.  What  has  been  accomplished 
by  critical  research  would  have  been  of  slight 
general  value  if  it  had  not  been  for  the  zeal 
and  sympathy  of  the  searchers  after  meaning 
and  beauty.  These  latter  have  lifted  the  whole 
subject  into  distinction. 

Though  it  is  popularly  customary  to  class 
all  the  aborigines  of  North  America  under  one 
name,  they  were  far  from  being  a  unified  race. 
Not  less  than  sixty  distinct  tribes,  are  counted, 
or  even  more,  differing  in  language  and  customs 
and  so  widely  separated  that  between  them  was 
no  interchange.  There  is  therefore  no  such 
thing  as  a  general  type  or  system  of  Indian 
music,  except  as  all  examples  are  alike  primi- 
tive or  unsophisticated,  with  an  essential  amal- 
gamation of  verse  and  song  and  a  minimum 
use  of  instruments  save  in  conjunction  with 
vocal  delivery.  It  is  all  folk-music  of  the  most 
typical  kind,  shaped  by  a  diffused  tribal  use 
and  preserved  by  oral  tradition  as  a  precious 


tribal  possession.  As  in  many  other  cases, 
song  is  intimately  interwoven  with  dancing, 
pantomime  and  other  dramatic  expression  and 
all  these  artistic  efforts  often  have  a  profound 
religious  aspect. 

There  is  dispute  as  to  the  scale-forms  used, 
especially  as  there  is  so  much  variety  in  the 
phenomena.  It  is  likely  that  the  subconscious 
basis  is  usually  pentatonic  or  hexatonic  —  as 
among  other  primitive  peoples  —  but  the  prac- 
tical treatment  of  melody  is  sometimes  so 
overladen  with  curious  intonations  or  shadings 
as  to  suggest  to  some  a  complicated  scheme  of 
quarter-tones,  quite  alien  to  traditional  Eu- 
ropean music.  Occasionally,  however,  melo- 
dies conform  closely  to  lines  that  seem  to  us 
normal.  Tonality  seems  to  exist,  though  not 
that  belonging  with  a  developed  harmonic  sys- 
tem, but  rather  such  as  underlies  ancient  and 
mediaeval  schemes.  Scales  are  probably  con- 
ceived downward  rather  than  upward. 

There  is  an  abundance  of  downright  rhythm, 
but  it  often  shifts  from  one  type  to  another 
with  amazing  readiness,  and,  especially  when 
drumming  and  singing  are  combined,  often 
presents  startling  contradictions  between  voice 
and  instrument.  While  the  result  seems 
chaotic  to  the  cultivated  hearer,  it  is  usually 
held  to  with  great  persistence  and  repeated 
with  fidelity,  implying  much  positiveness  of 
rhythmic  conviction. 

There  is  little  trace  of  harmony.  As  a  rule, 
songs  are  strictly  in  unison.  The  only  instru- 
ment of  importance  is  the  drum  —  variously 
made  —  which  is  used  without  regard  to  its 
pitch-relation  with  the  voices. 

Although  some  scattered  notes  had  been 
made  previously,  the  first  serious  researches 
were  in  1880  by  Theodore  Baker  of  New  York, 
then  studying  at  Leipzig  University,  in  his 
thesis  for  a  Ph.D.1  These  were  made  on  the 
Seneca  Reservation  in  western  New  York,  with 
added  points  derived  from  western  students 
at  the  Indian  School  at  Carlisle,  Pa.  Next 
came  Alice  C.  Fletcher's  studies,  first  among 
the  Omahas,  and  later  among  the  Pawnees  and 
other  tribes  of  the  plains  west  of  the  Mississippi.2 
To  these  followed  investigations  by  Frederick 
R.  Burton  among  the  Ojibways  in  Ontario  near 
Lake  Huron,3  and  the  extensive  collection  of 
material  under  the  Hemenway  Southwestern

Expedition,  which  was  worked  up  particularly 
by  Natalie  Curtis,1  and  by  Benjamin  Ives  Gil- 
man,  the  latter  of  whom  had  first  entered  the 
field  earlier.2  These  deal  with  the  pueblo 
tribes  of  the  southern  Rocky  Mountains. 
From  time  to  time  the  literature  has  been  aug- 
mented by  monographs  published  by  the  Bu- 
reau of  Ethnology,  the  United  States  Museum, 
the  Carnegie  Institution,  etc.,  and  by  articles 
in  magazines  by  detached  observers.  It  is  to 
be  hoped  that  undeveloped  sides  of  the  subject 
will  be  further  investigated  and  that  the  total 
data  may  be  better  correlated  than  has  thus 
far  been  possible.  It  is  unfortunate  that  scien- 
tific study  did  not  begin  earlier,  when  more 
tribes  than  now  were  still  in  existence  and  when 
their  life  was  even  more  free  and  untouched. 

In  its  artistic  aspect  what  has  been  collected 
of  Indian  music  is  sufficient  to  arouse  no  little 
wonder  and  often  positive  admiration.  It  is 
true  that  the  average  listener  finds  its  effects 
abnormal,  so  that  he  is  often  baffled  in  noting 
them  down  or  reducing  them  to  habitual  forms 
of  analysis.  They  are  to  him  decidedly  alien 
or  'barbarous.'  Yet  the  best  observers  agree 
that  the  Indian  himself  finds  in  his  singing  a 
very  real  self-expression,  affording  outlet  for  im- 
agination and  emotion  otherwise  unembodied, 
so  that  song  is  his  one  particular  fine  art,  ab- 
sorbing the  deepest  interest  of  both  performer 
and  listener  and  often  standing  out  as  the  cli- 
macteric embodiment  of  his  social  and  tribal 
life.  To  one  who  appreciates  this  and  becomes 
wonted  to  the  unfamiliar  idioms,  many  Indian 
melodies  come  to  have  a  beauty  of  a  singularly 
affecting  kind.  This  beauty  is  of  course  en- 
hanced by  associations  of  thought  arising  from 
the  topics  of  the  songs,  their  actual  texts  and 
their  habitual  usage,  and  from  whatever  ro- 
mance has  collected  about  the  history  of  this 
dignified  and  freedom-loving  race.  The  imagi- 
nation is  also  stirred  by  whatever  can  be  under- 
stood of  the  dramatic,  ceremonial  and  religious 
implications  connected  with  verse  and  melody. 

Without  attempting  an  exhaustive  catalogue, 
it  may  be  well  to  make  reference  to  some  com- 
posers and  works  that  illustrate  how  the  im- 
press of  Indian  themes,  topics  and  sentiments 
has  affected  musical  creation.  Among  these 
are  Henry  Schoenefeld's  'Suite  Caracteristique,' 
op.  15,  'Indian  Legends,'  pantomime-ballet 
'  Machicanta '  and  an  opera ;  Edward  Mac- 
Dowell's  'Indian'  Suite,  op.  48  (1896);  Fred- 
erick R.  Burton's  cantata  'Hiawatha'  (1898) ; 
Carl  Busch's  symphonic  poem  'Minnehaha's 
Vision,'  cantata  'The  Four  Winds,'  'Indian 
Legend'  for  violin,  many  songs,  etc.;  Ernest 
R.  Kroeger's  overtures  '  Hiawatha '  and  '  Atala,' 
besides  several  piano-pieces ;  Henry  F.  Gilbert's

(d.  1920),  Thorvald  Otterstrom  and  Mrs.  Stella

pieces  by  other  hands.  The  foregoing  examples 
illustrate  varied  treatments,  from  faithful 
transcriptions  harmonized  to  purely  fanciful 
imitations  or  suggestions.  But  together  they 
testify  to  the  strong  impression  that  the  study 
of  Indian  sources  has  made  upon  American 
composition.  See  article  by  Cadman  in  'The 
Musical  Quarterly,'  July,  1915. 

One  of  the  objects  of  the  Wa-Wan  Press, 
founded  in  1901  by  Arthur  Farwell,  was  to  pro- 
mote this  movement  by  publishing  both  musical 
and  literary  material  regarding  it.  Specially

INSTITUTE  OF  MUSIC  PEDAGOGY, 
THE,  of  Northampton,  Mass.,  is  a  summer- 
school  for  training  public-school  supervisors. 
It  originated  in  an  enterprise  started  in  1900 
by  Sterrie  A.  Weaver  at  Westfield,  Mass.  At 
his  death  in  1904  this  was  continued  by  Ralph 
L.  Baldwin  until  1907,  when  the  School,  now 
fully  organized,  was  moved  to  Northampton 
and  George  O.  Bowen  and  Lyman  L.  Wellman 
(d.  1908)  became  partners.  Since  then  it  has 
been  conducted  by  Messrs.  Baldwin  and  Bowen, 
with  several  other  instructors.  The  number  of 
students  is  125-150  each  year,  and  about  250 
have  graduated.  The  sessions  continue  three 
weeks,  and  are  held  in  the  Northampton  High 
School,  with  exceptional  advantages  for  demon- 
stration and  practice. 

INSTITUTE  OF  MUSICAL  ART,  THE, 
of  New  York,  came  into  being  in  1904  under 
the  hand  of  Frank  Damrosch  upon  the  basis 
of  an  initial  endowment  of  $500,000  given  by 
James  Loeb,  Esq.,  in  memory  of  his  mother, 
Betty  Loeb.  To  this  original  endowment  con- 
siderable additions  were  later  made  by  gifts  or 
subscription.  Receiving  its  charter  from  the 
Board  of  Regents  of  the  University  of  the  State 
of  New  York,  the  Institute  was  opened  in  1905, 
at  first  occupying  a  building  remodeled  from 
the  fine  old  Lenox  residences  at  Fifth  Avenue 
and  12th  Street.  In  1910  it  removed  to  a  new 
and  perfectly  appointed  building  of  its  own  at 
120  Claremont  Avenue,  near  Columbia  Uni- 
versity. Dr.  Damrosch  has  continued  as 
director  from  the  beginning,  and  has  consist- 
ently applied  the  progressive  policy  originally 
outlined. 

With  its  liberal  resources,  the  Institute  has 
been  able  from  the  first  to  command  the  services 
of  exceptional  teachers  in  every  branch,  to  sift 
its  students  rigorously  with  reference  to  ability 
and  promise,  to  insist  that  every  student,  ex- 
cept the  more  advanced,  shall  pursue  such 
studies  as  are  prescribed  for  his  special  needs, 
to  provide  without  extra  charge  many  striking 
general  recitals  and  lectures,  and  thus  to  main- 
tain an  educational  standard  that  is  at  least 
unusual.  In  addition  to  the  branches  uni- 
versally taught,  attention  is  given  to  dramatic 
singing,  choral  work,  chamber,  orchestral  and 
band  music,  general  and  special  pedagogy,  the 
training  of  supervisors  for  public  schools,  and 
lectures  on  historical  and  critical  subjects. 
The  faculty  numbers  over  70,  about  half  of 
whom  have  served  since  the  first  years.  The 
number  of  students  was  originally  fixed  at  about 
600,  and  this  figure  has  been  regularly  main- 
tained or  exceeded.  The  total  number  en- 
rolled up  to  1920  has  been  about  8500,  and  the 


graduates  number  about  600.  The  average 
size  of  the  school  chorus  is  60,  and  of  the  or- 
chestra 75.  The  equipment  includes  a  reference 
library  of  over  2500  volumes,  and  a  large  cir- 
culating library  of  music. 

The  eminence  of  the  Institute  is  attested  by 
the  large  proportion  of  its  graduates  or  recipi- 
ents of  artist-diplomas  who  now  occupy  posi- 
tions of  leadership  throughout  the  country.

INTERNATIONAL  MUSICAL  SOCIETY, 
THE,  founded  at  Leipzig  in  1899  to  promote 
advanced  musical  scholarship  by  maintaining 
a  monthly  Zeitschrift  and  quarterly  Sammel- 
bdnde  and  by  fostering  local  and  national  associ- 
ations of  its  members,  with  general  Congresses 
at  intervals,  promptly  secured  30-40  members 
in  the  United  States.  A  National  Section  was 
organized  in  1907,  which  held  annual  meetings 
until  the  outbreak  of  the  European  War  in 
1914  led  to  the  dissolution  of  the  central  So- 
ciety. The  presidents  of  the  Section  were  Albert 
A.  Stanley  (1907-1911)  and  Waldo  S.  Pratt. 
The  total  number  of  members  rose  to  about 
120,  besides  many  libraries.  The  Section  was 
officially  represented  at  the  Congresses  of 
Vienna  (1909),  London  (1911)  and  Paris  (1914). 
Local  groups  of  its  members  occasionally  held 
special  meetings.  Although  the  apparent  re- 
sults of  the  Section  in  actual  research  and 
publication  were  slight,  it  drew  attention  to 
scholarly  effort  in  a  way  that  may  lead  to  some- 
thing more  substantial  in  the  future. 

The  meetings  of  the  Section  were  regularly 
held  in  connection  with  those  of  the  Music 
Teachers'  National  Association,  and  the  fol- 
lowing papers  of  the  International  Society 
were  printed  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  M.  T.

ers two  forms  of  effort  —  the  editing  of  musical 
periodicals  and  the  provision  of  musical  reports 


and  criticisms  in  non-musical  periodicals,  es- 
pecially newspapers.  An  adequate  account 
of  these  in  America  is  not  here  attempted. 
But  certain  salient  points  may  be  stated. 

Periodicals  devoted  to  music  began  before 
there  was  a  public  to  sustain  them,  so  that 
many  were  short-lived.  Apparently  the  first 
was  the  'American  Musical  Magazine'  of  New 
York,  begun  in  1786  and  succeeded  in  1790  by 
'Gilfert's  Musical  Magazine,'  issued  by  George 
Gilfert,  dealer  in  instruments.1  These,  like 
many  later,  were  little  more  than  serial  issues 
of  music-pieces.  Ritter  refers  to  a  'Euter- 
peiad'  in  1821  as  'the  first  established  musical 
journal  in  Boston,'  2  and  another  of  the  same 
name  appeared  in  New  York  in  1830-31. 
H.  T.  Hach  edited  the  'Musical  Magazine'  in 
Boston  in  1839-42.  J.  W.  Moore  twice  started 
(1840,  '43)  'The  World  of  Music'  at  Bellows 
Falls,  Vt.,  and  as  late  as  1863  issued  'Moore's 
Musical  Record'  at  Manchester,  N.  H.3  One 
of  L.  A.  Godey's  early  enterprises  in  Philadel- 
phia from  1842  was  'The  Lady's  Musical  Li- 
brary,' edited  by  Charles  Jarvis.  In  1846 
A.  N.  and  J.  Johnston  set  up  in  Boston  '  The 
Musical  Gazette  '  (fortnightly) .  In  New  York 
from  1850  I.  B.  Woodbury  put  forth  an 
'American  Monthly  Musical  Review,'  which 
in  1852  under  Mason's  more  powerful  lead  be- 
came the  '  Musical  Review '  and  then  the  '  New 
York  Musical  Review,'  Woodbury  turning  to 
the  'Musical  Pioneer,'  which  he  managed  in 
1855-68.  These  latter  were  connected  with 
the  promotion  of  'psalmody'  and  its  sequels. 
Another  line  in  New  York  started  with  H.  C. 
Watson's  'Musical  Chronicle'  of  1843,  changed 
presently  into  the  'American  Musical  Times' 
and  the  'Philharmonic  Journal'  and  leading 
on  to  the  'American  Art  Journal,'  begun  by 
Watson  in  1863,  but  developed  from  1875  by 
W.  M.  Thorns  till  beyond  1900.4  These  mag- 
nified the  relation  between  professional  prog- 
ress and  trades  like  instrument-making  and 
music-publishing,  as  have  done  the  many 
journals  fathered  by  J.  C.  Freund,  from  his 
'Music-Trade  Review'  of  1875  to  the  present 
'Music-Trades,'  and  others. 

Meanwhile  in  Boston  in  1852  began '  Dwight's 
Journal  of  Music,'  which  till  1881  continued  to 
be  the  only  really  dignified  and  influential 
organ  of  musical  report  and  criticism.  From 
this  branched  off  in  1878  Ditson's  'Musical 
Record,'  edited  at  first  by  Dexter  Smith,  in 
1897-1900  by  Philip  Hale  and  then  by  Thomas 
Tapper,  and  in  1903  succeeded  by  '  The  Musi- 
cian.' In  New  York  the  '  Dramatic  and  Musi- 
cal Courier'  began  in  1880,  being  later  trans-

formed  under  Otto  Floersheim  and  M.  A. 
Blumenberg  into  the  large  and  powerful  '  Musi- 
cal Courier.'  In  1883  Theodore  Presser  founded 
'The  Etude,'  which  since  1884  in  Philadelphia 
has  been  a  prominent  organ  of  private  music- 
teaching.  In  1880  O.  L.  Fox  started  'The  In- 
dicator '  in  Chicago  —  the  first  of  a  long  line 
of  similar  journals  in  the  Middle  West.  After 
1880  the  number  of  enterprises  becomes  too 
large  to  be  followed  in  detail.  It  is  enough  to 
identify  as  leaders  in  the  field,  of  those  that 
have  been  mentioned , '  The  Musician' ,  now  pub- 
lished in  New  York,  the  '  Musical  Courier '  and 
'The  Etude,'  besides  'The  Musical  Leader,' 
founded  in  1896  at  Chicago  by  Charles  F.French, 
'  Musical  America,'  begun  by  Freund  in  1898, 
the  '  New  Music  Review,'  issued  by  H.  W.  Gray 
since  1901, '  The  Pacific  Coast  Musical  Review ' 
(weekly),  begun  in  1901  and  now  edited  by 
Alfred  Metzger,  '  Music  News,'  started  by  C.  E. 
Watt  in  Chicago  in  1908,  'The  Musical  Ob- 
server,' issued  since  1910  and  now  edited  by 
Gustav  Saenger,  and  several  of  later  date. 

Genuine  'magazines'  have  been  few. 
'Dwight's  Journal'  belonged  partly  to  this 
class,  especially  in  its  earlier  days.  But  the 
first  serious  enterprise  of  this  kind  was  W.  S.  B. 
Mathews' '  Music,'  issued  in  Chicago  from  1891 
till  1902,  a  monthly  of  real  distinction,  though 
carried  forward  very  unequally.  With  this 
may  be  mentioned  the  '  Music  Review,'  also 
of  Chicago,  edited  in  1892-94  by  C.  B.  Cady. 
In  1915  came  the  'Musical  Quarterly',  pro- 
jected on  the  broadest  lines  and  brilliantly 
edited  by  O.  G.  Sonneck.  This  not  only  has 
overtopped  anything  attempted  in  America, 
but  takes  rank  as  one  of  the  great  musical 
periodicals  of  the  world. 

Details  regarding  the  rise  of  musical  journal- 
ism in  connection  with  newspapers  and  maga- 
zines of  a  general  character  are  difficult  to 
secure  and  classify.  The  New  York  '  Tribune ' 
employed  W.  H.  Fry  as  critic  in  1852-63,  fol- 
lowed in  1863-66  by  H.  C.  Watson,  in  1866-84 
by  J.  R.  G.  Hassard  and  since  then  by  H.  E. 
Krehbiel.  This  pattern  was  presently  imitated 
by  other  New  York  papers,  so  that  now  every 
leading  paper  has  its  musical  editor,  the  sig- 
nificant circle  including  H.  E.  Krehbiel,  H.  T. 
Finck,  W.  J.  Henderson,  Richard  Aldrich,  J.  G. 
Huneker,  Lawrence  Gilman  and  many  others. 
Similarly  in  Boston  prominent  names  stand 
out,  like  W.  F.  Apthorp,  L.  C.  Elson,  Philip 
Hale,  H.  T.  Parker,  and  Olin  Downes ;  while  in 
Chicago  are  Felix  Borowski,  Maurice  Rosenfeld 
and  G.  D.  Gunn.  These  are  but  distinguished 
examples  of  a  large  and  influential  fraternity  the 
country  over.  Under  their  hands  what  had  been 
simply  a  gathering  of  musical  items  and  the  pub- 
lication of  matter  more  or  less  of  the  advertising 
variety  has  become  dignified  by  a  large  amount 
of  sane,  illuminating  and  stimulating  criticism. 


JUBILEE  SINGERS,  THE,  were  a  group 
of  ten  or  twelve  students  in  Fisk  University 
(Tenn.),  trained  in  singing  Negro  songs  and 
organized  to  tour  in  the  interest  of  the  Uni- 
versity. The  first  expedition  in  1871  was  so 
successful,  both  in  raising  money  and  in  arous- 
ing interest  in  Negro  music,  that  it  was  extended 
and  repeated  till  1874,  covering  not  only  many 
parts  of  the  United  States,  but  England  as 
well.  On  the  second  trip  to  England  Theodore 
F.  Seward  was  musical  director.  The  proceeds 
of  the  tours  (about  $150,000)  were  used  in 
erecting  Jubilee  Hall,  the  first  of  the  University 
buildings.  Seward  edited  over  100  songs  under 
the  title  Jubilee  Songs.  See  J.  B.  T.  Marsh, 
The  Story  of  the  Jubilee  Singers,  1895. 

JUCH,  EMMA  ANTONIA  JOANNA  (July 
4,  1865,  Vienna,  Austria),  was  the  daughter  of 
American  parents.  She  was  educated  in  New 
York  and  studied  singing  there  with  Mme. 
Murio-Celli.  Her  concert-debut  as  soprano 
was  in  1882,  and  in  1883  she  appeared  in  opera 
in  'Mignon'  at  Her  Majesty's  Theatre  in  Lon- 
don. For  three  seasons,  under  Mapleson,  she 
sang  Violetta,  Queen  of  Night  (in  'The  Magic 
Flute'),  Martha,  Marguerite  (in  'Faust'),  The 
Queen  (in  'Les  Huguenots')  and  Isabella  (in 
'Robert  le  Diable').  In  1886-87  she  was  one 
of  the  principal  sopranos  in  the  American 
Opera  Company  under  Thomas.  In  1889  she 
organized  the  Emma  Juch  Grand  Opera  Com- 
pany, which  gave  performances  in  the  United 
States  and  Mexico  for  two  seasons.  She  has 
since  sung  in  concerts  and  festivals,  including 
appearances  with  the  leading  orchestras  and 
choral  societies.  In  addition  to  the  roles  named 
she  has  appeared  as  Aida,  Valentine,  Elsa, 
Elizabeth,  Sieglinde  and  Senta,  and  created 
the  part  of  Chrysa  at  the  first  American  per- 
formance of  Rubinstein's  '  Nero. '  [  R.7  ] 

'JUDITH'.  An  opera  by  George  W. 
Chadwick,  produced  at  the  Worcester  Festival 
in  1901  in  concert-form.  Though  called  a 
'lyric  opera,'  it  is  virtually  an  oratorio.

KAEUPER,  HERMANN  H.  See  COL- 
LEGES, 3  (Millikin  U.,  111.). 

KAHN,  OTTO  HERMANN  (Feb.  21,  1867, 
Mannheim,  Germany),  came  to  London  in 
1888  as  employe  of  the  Deutsche  Bank  and 
in  1893  a  visit  to  New  York  led  to  permanent 
residence  and  citizenship.  From  1897,  as  a 
member  of  Kuhn,  Loeb  &  Co.,  he  has  partici- 
pated in  many  financial  operations  of  magni- 
tude and  has  become  trustee  and  director  in 
numerous  great  corporations.  Being  himself 
a  musician  of  talent  and  training,  he  has  been 
increasingly  identified  with  musical  under- 
takings. He  has  been  head  of  the  Metropoli- 
tan Opera  Company,  of  the  Theatre  du  Vieux 
Columbier,  of  the  French-American  Associa- 
tion for  Musical  Art  and  (till  1915)  of  the  Cen- 
tury Opera  Company,  and  in  the  directorate 
of  the  Boston  Opera  Company  (1908-15),  the 
Chicago  Opera  Association  and  the  Royal 
Opera,  Covent  Garden,  London.  He  has 
also  been  active  in  countless  other  enterprises. 
His  services  to  the  cause  of  the  Allies  in  the 
World  War  were  recognized  by  high  honors  from 
France,  Italy  and  Spain.  He  is  also  LL.D.  of 
the  University  of  Michigan.  [  R.9  ] 

KANSAS  CITY  SYMPHONY  ORCHES- 
TRA, THE,  was  founded  in  1910  and  from 
1911  supported  by  an  Orchestra  Association, 
formed  through  the  efforts  of  the  Musical  Club. 
Since  1912  a  high  standard  has  been  maintained 
under  the  leadership  of  Carl  Busch.  Seven 
regular  and  six  popular  concerts  are  given  annu- 
ally. The  usual  force  is  65  players,  with  Hein- 
rich  Rittmeister  as  concertmaster.  The  scope 
and  quality  of  the  programs  is  indicated  by 
the  list  of  larger  works,  which  includes

JKARG-ELERT,  SIGFRID  (Nov.  21, 
1878,  Oberndorf,  Wiirtemberg),  when  a  choir- 
boy studied  clarinet,  viola  and  oboe  without 
a  teacher.  Through  Reznicek  he  obtained  a 
three-year  scholarship  at  the  Leipzig  Conser- 
vatory, where  his  teachers  were  Jadassohn, 


Wendling  and  Homeyer,  and  later  he  entered 
Reisenauer's  'master-class'  for  pianists.  He 
also  devoted  much  time  to  the  organ  and  the 
'Kunstharmonium,'  for  which  he  has  written 
extensively.  His  larger  compositions  are  a 
Passacaglia  in  E-flat  minor,  op.  25,  for  organ ; 
a  Sonata  in  F-sharp  minor,  op.  50,  for  piano ;

sides numerous  songs,  piano-  and  organ-pieces, 
much  chamber-music  and  many  educational 
works.  See  Baker,  Diet,  of  Musicians,  p.  451.

J  KASTALSKY,  ALEXANDER  DIMI- 
TRIEVITCH  (Nov.  28, 1856,  Moscow,  Russia), 
graduated  at  the  Moscow  Conservatory  in  1882, 
having  studied  with  Tchaikovsky,  Hubert  and 
Tanieiev.  In  1887  he  began  to  teach  in  the 
new  Moscow  Synodal  School,  and  in  1901  be- 
came conductor  of  the  Synodal  Choir,  which 
he  gave  an  international  reputation.  He  has 
worked  vigorously  to  revitalize  Russian  church- 
music  and  has  written  much  for  service-use. 
He  has  also  composed  the  a  cappella  oratorio 
'The  Furnace  of  Nabucho,'  for  soli  and  chorus 
(1909) ;  the  opera  'Clara  Militche'  (1916, 
Moscow) ;  a  Requiem  for  the  soldiers  of  the 
Allies  (1916)  ;  the  cantata  'Le  Chant  d'figlise' ; 
the  piano-suite  '  En  Georgie ' ;  a  manual  for  self- 
instruction  in  church-music ;  and  '  De  Temps 
Pass6s,'  4  vols.  of  restorations  of  ancient  music.

KAUN,  HUGO  (Mar.  21,  1863,  Berlin,  Ger- 
many), was  a  precocious  composer,  having 
written  160  pieces  before  he  was  sixteen.  After 
a  year  at  the  Hochschule,  he  studied  piano  with 
the  Raifs  and  composition  with  Kiel.  His  con- 
nection with  American  music  arises  from  his 
having  lived  as  teacher  in  Milwaukee  in  1887- 
1902.  During  this  time  he  left  an  impress  on 
many  talented  pupils  and  his  works  were  often 
given  by  Thomas.  He  has  since  worked  in 
Berlin,  where  in  1912  he  became  member  of 
the  Royal  Academy  of  Arts.  For  list  of  works,

KELLER,  WALTER  (Feb.  23,  1873,  Chi- 
cago), attended  Baldwin-Wallace  College  in 
Ohio  and  in  1894  graduated  from  the  American 
Conservatory  in  Chicago,  also  studying  with 
Gleason  in  1892-93  and  '96-99.  In  1894-96 
he  was  at  Leipzig,  studying  at  the  Conserva- 
tory and  with  Piutti.  In  1899-1904  he  taught 
at  Northwestern  University,  and  in  1906  joined 
the  staff  of  the  Sherwood  Music  School  in 
Chicago,  of  which  since  1911  he  has  been  direc- 
tor. In  1903-18  he  was  organist  at  St.  Vincent 
de  Paul's,  and  since  1912  has  also  been  dean  of 
music  at  De  Paul  University,  where  he  was 
made  Mus.D.  in  1916.  He  became  a  fellow 
of  the  A.  G.  O.  in  1916,  having  been  dean  of 
the  Illinois  Chapter  in  1914-15.  In  1907  he 
conducted  the  premiere  of  Gleason's  'Otho 
Visconti,'  and  he  now  directs  a  choral  club  at 
Danville,  111.  He  has  written  a  comic  opera, 
the  melodrama  '  Alaric's  Death,'  much  Catholic 
and  Anglican  church-music,  including  organ- 
pieces,  two  canons  for  piano,  and  a  synchronous 
Prelude  and  Fugue,  op.  10,  for  two  pianos 
(Gilbert),  which  is  notable  for  ingenuity  of 
structure.  [  R.8  ] 

KELLEY,  EDGAR  STILLMAN  (Apr.  14, 
1857,  Sparta,  Wis.).  See  article  in  Vol.  ii. 
562-3.  His  San  Francisco  residences  were  in 
1880-86  arid  1892-96,  and  in  1886-92  and  1896- 
1900  he  was  in  New  York.  In  1901-02  he  was 
acting-professor  at  the  Yale  School  of  Music 
and  conductor  of  its  orchestral  concerts.  In 
1902-10  he  lived  in  Berlin  and  was  active  as 
a  teacher  of  composition.  Since  1910  he  has 
been  head  of  the  composition-department  in 
the  Cincinnati  Conservatory,  and  has  also 
held  a  fellowship  from  the  Western  College 
for  Women  in  Oxford,  O.  Besides  his  work  as 
teacher  and  composer  he  has  written  many 
critical  articles  and  published  Chopin  the  Com- 
poser, 1913,  an  extremely  able  analysis  of 
structure  and  method.  In  1916  Miami  Uni- 
versity gave  him  the  degree  of  Litt.D.  and  in 
1917  the  University  of  Cincinnati  that  of  LL.D. 

His  music  for  '  Ben  Hur '  was  first  performed 
in  1899  and  has  since  been  given  about  5000 
times  in  English-speaking  countries.  Orches- 
tral suites  have  been  made  from  both  this  and 
his  'Macbeth'  music.  His  piano-quintet,  op. 
20,  and  a  string-quartet,  op.  25,  have  been 
much  played  in  America  and  Europe  (both 
published  1907,  Berlin).  His  larger  works  in- 
clude incidental  music  for  Lathrop's  version 
of  'Prometheus  Bound';  Symphony  No.  1, 
'Gulliver  —  his  Voyage  to  Lilliput,'  op.  15, 
with  much  fantastic  humor,  Symphony  No.  2, 
'New  England,'  op.  33,  the  movements  of 
which  bear  mottoes  from  Bradford's  diary  on 
the  '  Mayflower '  (the  third  is  based  on  the  old 
tune  '  China ') ,  which  was  first  given  at  the  Nor- 


folk Festival  of  1913,  the  composer  conducting, 
in  Altenburg,  Germany,  at  the  Liszt  Festival  in 
1914,  and  over  twenty  times  since;  the  pan- 
tomimic suite  for  orchestra  'Alice  in  Wonder- 
land,' first  given  at  the  Norfolk  Festival  of 
1919;  and  a  setting  of  'Pilgrim's  Progress' 
in  the  form  of  a  miracle-play,  which  was  first 
produced  at  the  Cincinnati  Festival  of  1918 
and  recently  repeated  in  New  York.  Among 
his  smaller  works  are  the  songs  'Eldorado' 
and  'Israfel,'  op.  8  (1901),  choral  settings  of 
Whitman's  'My  Captain,'  op.  19,  and  Poe'a 
'  The  Sleeper,'  op.  21,  no.  7 ;  and  various  piano- 
pieces.  He  has  shown  a  marked  tendency 
to  emphasize  the  spirit  and  sentiment  of  Amer- 
ican life,  not  only  in  his  characteristic  'New 
England '  symphony,  but  in  many  lesser  works. 
Regarding  such  composition  he  has  said  :  '  The 
American  composer  should  apply  the  universal 
principles  of  his  art  to  the  local  and  special 
elements  of  the  subject-matter  as  they  appeal 
to  him,  and  then,  consciously  or  unconsciously, 
manifest  his  individuality,  which  will  involve 
the  expression  of  mental  traits  and  moral  tend- 
encies peculiar  to  his  European  ancestry,  as 
we  find  them  modified  by  the  new  American 
environment.'  See  note  upon  his  work  in  The 
Art  of  Music,  iv.  368-73.  [  R.7  ]

KREHBIEL,  HENRY  EDWARD  (Mar.

Vol.  ii.  599.  He  was  associate-editor,  for 
American  topics,  of  the  second  edition  of  this 
Dictionary.  He  is  still  musical  editor  of  the 
New  York  'Tribune,'  and  has  added  the  fol- 
lowing books  to  his  list:  Chapters  of  Opera, 
1908  (2nd  ed.,  1911),  A  Book  of  Operas,  1911,

Songs,  1914,  More  Chapters  of  Opera,  1919, 


and  an  English  version  of  'Parsifal,'  1920. 
His  position  as  Nestor  among  music-critics,  his 
wide  culture  and  experience,  and  his  geniality 
of  spirit  and  literary  style,  have  given  him  more 
or  less  unique  authority  and  influence.  His 
long-awaited  edition  of  Thayer's  Life  of  Bee- 
thoven was  finished  in  1914,  but  publication  has 
been  delayed  by  war-conditions.  This  is  based 
on  the  German  editions  and  Thayer's  original 
text,  revised,  annotated  and  with  added  con- 
cluding chapters.  See  his  article  on  Thayer 
and  his  work  in  'The  Musical  Quarterly,'

composition  and  orchestration  with  Rybner. 
In  1904-14  he  was  organist  at  Kingsbridge, 
but  in  .1905-06  went  abroad  on  a  Mosenthal 
scholarship  and  in  1910  had  work  in  or- 
chestration under  Vidal  at  Paris.  At  his 
death  he  was  just  entering  upon  work  at  the 
West  End  Presbyterian  Church.  In  1912  he 
founded  the  Lambord  Choral  Society,  to  give 
new  works,  especially  by  Americans,  which 
in  1914  became  the  Modern  Music  Society  and 
undertook  orchestral  works  as  well.  His 
works  include  15  songs,  opp.  1,  3,  4,  7,  10  (the 
last  with  orchestra)  ;  part-songs,  op.  2 ;  a 
piano-trio,  op.  5;  'Valse  Fantastique,'  op.  6,

an  English  dance-theme,  op.  8,  for  orchestra ; 
and  'Verses  from  Omar,'  op.  11,  for  chorus 
and  orchestra.  The  song  'Clytie,'  op.  10,  no. 
2,  is  an  example  of  his  best  work.  He  had 
completed  two  acts  of  the  opera  'Woodstock,' 
published  'Ten  Lyric  Studies'  for  piano,  and 
edited  'The  Orchestra  and  Orchestral  Music' 
in  The  Art  of  Music,  Vol.  viii.  [  R.9  ]

LANG,  BENJAMIN  JOHNSON  (Dec.  28, 
1837,  Salem,  Mass.  :  Apr.  3,  1909,  Boston). 
See  article  in  Vol.  ii.  631-2.  The  last  concert 
of  the  Cecilia  Society  which  he  conducted 
was  on  Apr.  16,  1907,  when  Piern6's  'The 
Children's  Crusade'  was  given.  He  was 
organist  of  King's  Chapel  from  1885  until 
his  death.  His  last  appearance  as  conductor 
was  on  Feb.  12,  1909,  when  he  led  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra  and  a  chorus  at  a  Lincoln 
Memorial  service  in  Symphony  Hall.  At 
the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  concerts 
of  Apr.  8  and  10,  1909,  Mozart's  Masonic 
funeral-music  was  played  in  his  memory. 
Among  his  pupils  were  his  daughter  (see

Ethelbert  Nevin.  [  R.4  ] 

LANG,  HENRY  ALBERT  (Oct.  9,  1854, 
New  Orleans),  graduated  from  the  Stuttgart 
Conservatory  in  1875,  having  studied  piano 
with  Lebert  and  Pruckner  and  composition 
with  Faiszt.  He  then  continued  composition 
with  Lachner  in  Karlsruhe,  taught  there  and 
at  Riga  and  Konigsberg,  and  till  1890  gave 
some  concerts.  For  a  year  he  lived  in  Gal- 
veston,  Tex.,  but  since  1891  has  made  his 
home  in  Philadelphia.  Since  1913  he  has  been 
head  of  the  theory-department  of  the  Phila- 
delphia Conservatory,  which  gave  him  the 
degree  of  Mus.D.  in  1911.  His  compositions 
include  Symphony  No.  1,  'Fantasies  of  a 
Poet'  (1914,  Philadelphia  Orchestra),  Sym- 
phony No.  2,  in  C  minor  (1915  first  prize, 
Illinois  Music  Teachers'  Association),  the 
orchestral  suite  'Fantastic  Dances,'  a  piano- 
trio  in  E  major  (1911,  first  prize  for  chamber- 
music,  National  Federation  of  Music  Clubs), 
a  piano-trio  in  C  minor,  a  concerto  for  violin 
and  orchestra,  a  sonata  for  'cello,  a  piano- 
quintet  in  B'-flat  (1894,  first  prize,  Utopian 
Club,  Philadelphia),  two  string-quartets  (1898, 
prizes,  New  York  Music  Teachers'  Associa- 
tion, and  1913,  Sinfonia),  songs  and  piano- 
pieces.  [  R.8  ] 

LANG,  MARGARET  RUTHVEN  (Nov.

Among  recent  compositions  are  a  Te  Deum 
in  E-flat,  a  'Christmas  Cycle'  for  quartet, 
and  the"  double  a'cappella  chorus  'Wind.'  The 
carol  'In  Prsesepio,'  for  mixed  chorus,  has  been 
much  sung,  and  'The  Heavenly  Noel,'  op. 
57  (Schmidt),  for  mezzo-soprano,  women's 
chorus,  strings,  harp,  piano  and  organ,  is  one 
of  the  most  valuable  recent  works  for  women's 
voices.  She  has  been  fortunate  in  her  choice 
cf  texts  for  songs  and  choral  works,  and  her 


settings  show  strong  individuality,  with  a  wel- 
come absence  of  haste.  [  R.8  ]

LANIER,  SIDNEY  (Feb.  3,  1842,  Macon, 
Ga.  :  Sept.  7,  1881,  Lynn,  N.  C.),  famous 
as  one  of  the  most  spontaneous  and  mystically 
gifted  of  American  poets,  touched  music  in 
three  ways.  From  childhood  he  showed  a 
phenomenal  instinct  in  appreciation  and 
expression,  developing  such  technical  skill 
as  to  serve  with  distinction  as  first  flutist 
(from  1873)  in  the  Peabody  Symphony  Or- 
chestra of  Baltimore,  and  becoming  recognized 
there  for  his  sympathetic  critical  acumen. 
For  years,  also,  at  length  as  lecturer  at  Johns 
Hopkins  University,  he  made  careful  studies 
in  the  musical  aspects  of  poetic  technique, 
publishing  a  lucid  and  able  Science  of  Eng- 
lish Verse,  1881,  which  remains  a  stimulating 
contribution  to  a  neglected  subject.  And, 
finally,  his  poems  contain  numerous  passages 
about  music  or  couched  in  musical  imagery 
—  among  whole  poems  being  'To  Wagner', 
(1877)  and]' To  Beethoven'  (1876-77),  and  the 
most  sustained  and  characteristic  use  of 
musical  analogies  occurring  in  'Life  and  Song' 
(1868)  and  especially  'The  Symphony'  (1875). 
He  was  invited  to  write  the  text  for  the  opening 
cantata  at  the  Centennial  Exposition  (Phila- 
delphia, 1876),  the  music  being  composed  by 
Dudley  Buck.  All  his  permanent  work  was 
done  while  in  a  losing  fight  with  consumption. 
See  his  Letters,  1881,  the  Memorial  prefixed 
to  his  Poems,  1884,  and  the  biography  by 
Mims,  1905,  especially  the  remarkable  chapter 
'A  Musician  in  Baltimore.'  [  R.6  ]

berger  in  composition  and  as  student  of 
languages,  and  won  a  diploma  in  composition 
from  the  Akademie  der  Tonkunst.  Since  1892 
he  has  been  in  the  faculty  of  Tufts  College, 
at  first  as  instructor  in  French  and  from  1895 
as  professor  of  music.  Besides  marked  sue-

cess  in  arousing  enthusiasm  among  his  stud- 
ents, he  has  been  active  in  promoting  at- 
tention to  music  in  high  schools  and  colleges 
generally.  For  many  years  he  has  been  on 
the  staff  of  the  College  Entrance  Examination 
Board  and  since  1910  chief  examiner  in  music. 
Early  works  were  the  cantata  'The  Conso- 
lation of  Music'  (1895)  and  a  sonata  for  violin 
and  piano  (1895).  For  the  revivals  at  Tufts 
of  Milton's  'Comus'  and  Dekker's  'For- 
tunatus'  (1901,  '06)  he  arranged  the  music 
from  old  scores.  His  music  for  'Comus'  has 
been  repeated  at  other  institutions.  With 
S.  W.  Cole  he  has  published  Harmonia  and 
Melodia  (both  1905)  and  several  other  col- 
lections of  school-music.  Of  his  war-songs 
'  We  Stand  —  a  Song  of  Devotion  to  the  United 
States'  was  specially  popular.  He  has  in 
manuscript  a  symphonic  prelude  for  Brown- 
ing's 'A  Blot  on  the  'Scutcheon.'  He  is  the 
originator  of  a  system  of  card-indexing  for 
music.  He  has  written  considerably  in  fields 
outside  of  music.  [  R.8  ] 

J  LIADOV,  ANATOL  CONSTANTINO- 
VITCH  (May  11,  1855,  Petrograd,  Russia  : 
August,  1914,  Petrograd).  See  article  in  Vol. 
ii.  689.  As  professor  in  the  Petrograd  Con- 
servatory from  1878  he  was  the  teacher  of 
many  prominent  Russian  composers  of  the 
present  generation.  From  1894  he  conducted 
the  concerts  of  the  Imperial  Musical  Society. 
Among  later  works  were  the  symphonic  poems 
'Baba  Yaga,'  op.  56,  'Le  Lac  Enchante,'  op. 
62,  and  'Kikimora,'  op.  63,  choruses  with 
orchestra  to  Maeterlinck's  'Sceur  Beatrice,' 
op.  60,  and  the  ballet  'Leila  andAdelai'  (un- 
finished) .

VITCH  (Nov.  30,  1859,  Yaroslav,  Russia). 
See  article  in  Vol.  ii.  690.  In  1902-10  he  was 
music-inspector  at  St.  Helen's  Institute,  and 
since  1910  has  been  professor  at  the  Petrograd 
Conservatory.  In  recent  years  he  has  also 
appeared  in  European  capitals  as  conductor 
or  pianist.  To  the  list  of  works  add  the  2nd 
piano-concerto,  op.  38,  a  'Rapsodie'  on  Ukrai- 
nian themes,  op.  28,  for  piano  and  orchestra, 
and  the  symphonic  poem  'Yelasova  Vola,' 
op.  37.  He  edited  letters  between  Tchai- 
kovsky and  Balakirev,  1912. 

LIBRARIES,  MUSICAL.  See  notes  in 
Vol.  ii.  717-20.  The  leadership  of  the  Library 
of  Congress,  the  Boston  Public  Library,  the 
New  York  Public  Library  and  the  Newberry 
Library  in  Chicago,  as  there  stated,  has  been 
maintained.  But  the  public  library  of  almost 
every  large  city,  and  even  of  many  cities  of 
moderate  size,  is  now  giving  careful  attention 
to  the  accumulation  of  books  about  music, 
collections  and  often  well-selected  sets  of  piano- 
scores,  vocal  music  and  even  orchestral  music. 
The  purpose  is  naturally  to  encourage  popular 


intelligence  and  appreciation  rather  than  to 
collect  material  for  scholarly  research.  Be- 
sides Harvard  and  Yale  Universities,  many 
others  are  now  important,  especially  several 
of  the  great  State  Universities,  like  Michigan, 
California  and  Wisconsin.  A  few  of  the 
State  Libraries,  also,  like  those  of  New  York, 
Kansas  and  California,  are  building  up  musi- 
cal collections  of  importance.  Some  of  the 
leading  conservatories,  like  the  New  England 
Conservatory  in  Boston,  the  Institute  of 
Musical  Art  in  New  York,  the  Oberlin  Con- 
servatory and  the  School  of  Music  in  North- 
western University,  have  valuable  libraries, 
either  of  their  own  or  in  the  institutions  of 
which  they  are  a  part.  Regarding  the  four 
leading  libraries  mentioned  in  Vol.  ii.  see 
articles  in  the  M.T.N.A.  Proceedings,  1908, 
pp.  269,  289;  1910,  p.  188;  1914,  p.  211 ;  and 
1909,  p.  198,  as  well  as  papers  relating  to  the 
subject  in  general  in  1916,  p.  47;  1917,  p.  52; 
and  1918,  p.  190.  In  the  volume  for  1917  is 
given  the  questionnaire  issued  by  a  committee 
working  in  conjunction  with  the  Bureau  of 
Education  and  a  tentative  summary  of  some 
of  the  statistics  secured.  The  report  of  this 
committee  has  been  drafted  in  detail,  but  has 
not  yet  been  published.  It  is  soon  to  appear 
as  a  Bulletin  of  the  Bureau  of  Education. 

The  total  number  of  books,  pamphlets  and  pieces 
in  the  Library  of  Congress  (Music-Division)  is  about 
825,000.  Of  this  number  about  35,000  are  books 
upon  music,  old  and  new.  There  are  over  5000  scores 
of  instrumental  works,  like  symphonies,  concertos, 
suites,  etc.,  over  7000  vocal  scores  of  operas,  over  3000 
orchestral  operatic  scores,  and  over  20,000  opera- 
librettos.  There  are  also  more  than  5000  player- 
piano  rolls. 

The  New  York  Public  Library  has  over  125,000 
books  upon  music,  7200  bound  volumes  of  music  and 
more  than  1000  orchestral  scores.  It  has  an  exten- 
sive collection  of  opera-librettos.  In  1914  it  received 
by  gift  the  opera-collection  of  the  late  Julian  Edwards, 
containing  about  250  full  scores  of  operas,  oratorios, 
etc.,  300  operatic  vocal  scores  and  325  books  on  music. 

The  Boston  Public  Library  contains  more  than 
15,000  books  on  music,  over  26,000  bound  volumes  of 
music,  over  4000  orchestral  scores  and  about  1000 
scores  of  chamber-music  works.  It  has  a  remarkable 
collection  of  programs  of  musical  events  in  Boston 
for  the  past  fifty  years.  It  also  has  many  autograph 
scores  of  important  works  by  American  composers. 

The  Newberry  Library  in  Chicago  has  more  than 
13,000  books  upon  music  or  bound  volumes  of  music.

LIEBLING,  EMIL  (Apr.  12,  1851,  Pless, 
Germany  :  Jan.  20,  1914,  Chicago),  first 
came  to  America  when  a  youth,  but  had  his 
musical  training  abroad.  At  Berlin  he  studied 
piano  with  Ehrlich  and  Kullak,  at  Vienna 
with  Dachs  and  at  Weimar  with  Liszt,  while 
Dora  taught  him  composition.  In  1874-76 
he  was  teacher  in  the  Kullak  Conservatory. 
Meanwhile,  in  1872,  he  had  located  in  Chicago, 
where  he  became  eminent  as  player,  teacher  and 
writer.  His  works  for  piano  include  a  '  Gavotte 
Moderne,'  op.  11;  a  'Florence  Valse,'  op.  12; 
'Feu  Follet,'  op.  17;  Albumblatt,  op.  18; 
Cradle-Song,  op.  23 ;  and  '  Minuetto  Scher- 
zoso,'  op.  28.  He  contributed  brilliant  articles 
to  several  periodicals  and  was  one  of  the  editors 
of  The  American  History  and  Encyclopedia  of 
Music,  1908.  [  R.5  ] 

LIEBLING,  LEONARD  (Feb.  7,  1874, 
New  York),  is  a  nephew  of  the  foregoing. 
He  graduated  from  the  College  of  the  City 
of  New  York  in  1897  and  then  went  abroad 
to  study  piano  at  Berlin  under  Godowsky, 
Kullak  and  Barth  and  composition  under 
Urban.  After  teaching  and  appearing  as 
pianist  there  and  in  America,  since  1899  he 
has  been  mostly  engaged  in  literary  work. 
He  has  written  a  number  of  comic  opera- 
librettos,  including  'Vera  Violetta,'  'The 
Girl  and  the  Kaiser,'  'The  American  Maid' 
(music  by  Sousa),  etc.  In  1902  he  joined  the 
staff  of  'The  Musical  Courier'  and  since  1911 
has  been  editor-in-chief.  [  R.8  ]

LITCHFIELD  COUNTY  CHORAL  UN- 
ION, THE.  This  enterprise,  founded  in  1899, 
is  a  memorial  of  Robbins  Battell  (1819-95), 
planned  and  munificently  supported  by  his 
daughter  and  her  husband,  Carl  Stoeckel,  of 
Norfolk,  Conn.  Almost  a  century  ago  there 
was  a  Litchfield  County  Musical  Associa- 
tion of  which  Battell  was  promoter  and  con- 
ductor. Its  last  concert  in  1851  at  Litch- 
field he  directed.  In  1875  he  led  a  glee-club 
at  Winsted,  where  in  1878  a  choral  society 
was  formed,  with  R.  S.  Frary  as  conductor. 
From  1882  he  arranged  superior  open-air 
concerts  at  Norfolk,  which  were  repeated  at 
Lakeville.  In  1885  the  Winsted  chorus  was 
reorganized,  Richmond  P.  Paine,  then  of  New 
Britain,  being  conductor.  In  1897  Mrs. 
Stoeckel  started  the  Norfolk  Glee  Club,  led 
in  1899  by  N.  H.  Allen.  Its  success  led  to  the 
formation  in  that  year  of  the  present  County

Union,  which  links  together  the  musical 
interests  of  a  chain  of  five  or  six  towns  and 
villages  in  the  northwestern  corner  of  Con- 
necticut. Of  this  organization  five  local 
choruses  (Norfolk,  Winsted,  Salisbury,  Canaan 
and  Torrington)  have  been  members  since  1906. 
The  chief  conductors  have  been  R.  P.  Paine 
(1899-1915)  and  Arthur  Mees  of  New  York. 
The  total  forces  in  recent  years  have  included 
about  700  singers  (not  over  425  at  any  one 
concert)  and  a  picked  orchestra  of  75-100 
from  New  York,  with  a  variety  of  distinguished 
soloists,  vocal  and  instrumental.  At  present 
three  concerts  are  given  each  year  at  Norfolk 
in  the  first  week  of  June,  and  from  time  to 
time  local  concerts  in  other  places.  The 
June  Festivals  have  acquired  an  extraordinary 
prestige  for  dignity  and  perfection,  attracting 
visitors  from  all  over  the  country.  For  these 
Festivals  in  1904  Mr.  Stoeckel  erected  an 
experimental  building  and  this  was  later 
replaced  by  a  more  permanent  structure, 
known  as  the  'Music  Shed,'  seating  about 
1450  auditors  amid  ideal  acoustical  conditions. 
Since  the  fifth  year  there  has  been  no  ad- 
mission-fee charged,  and  no  advertising  of  any 
sort  is  permitted.  The  heavy  expenses  for 
conductors,  orchestras,  soloists  and  invited 
composers  are  defrayed  by  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Stoeckel  as  patrons.  They  have  been  strik- 
ingly successful  not  only  in  setting  up  a  unique 
artistic  center,  but  in  making  it  a  nucleus  for 
community-enthusiasm . 

The  programs  of  the  concerts  include  such 
standard  choral  works  as  'Elijah,'  'Hymn  of 
Praise,'  'Messiah,'  'The  Redemption,'  the 
Requiems  of  Verdi  and  of  Brahms,  the  Stabat 
Maters  of  Rossini  and  of  Dvorak,  'The 
Damnation  of  Faust,'  'Samson  and  Delilah,' 
'Scenes  from  Hiawatha,'  and  a  long  list  of 
great  orchestral  works  and  famous  vocal 
solos.  The  following  works  have  also  been 
specially  written  for  Norfolk  and  first  per- 
formed there : 

Parker  — 'King  Gorm  the  Grim'  (1908),  'Col- 
legiate' Overture  (1911),  'The  Dream  of  Mary' 
(1918). 

Chadwick  — 'Noel'  (1909),  'Aphrodite'  (1912), 
'Tarn  O'Shanter'  (1915),  'Land  of  our  Hearts' 
(1918). 

Coleridge-Taylor  —  'Bamboula  Rhapsodic  Dance' 
(1910),  'Tale  of  Old  Japan'  (1912),  Violin 
Concerto  (1912),  '  Negro  Air '  for  violin  and 
orchestra  (1912),  'From  the  Prairie'  (1914). 

Hadley  —  Symphony  No.  4,  'North,  East,  South, 
West'  (1911),  'Lucifer'  (1914). 

Bruch  —  Konzertstiick,  op.  85,  for  violin  and  or- 
chestra (1911). 

Kelley  —  Symphony  No.  2,  '  New  England'  (1913), 
Alice  in  Wonderland  '  (1919). 

Gilbert  —  '  Negro  Rhapsody'   (1913). 

Sibelius  —  '  Aalottaret '    (1914). 

Stanford  —  Piano  Concerto  (1915),  'Irish  Rhap- 
sody,' No.  5  (1917),  'Verdun'  (1918). 

Stock  —  Violin  Concerto  (1915). 


Loeffler  —  Symphony,  'Hora  Mystica'  (1916). 
Grainger  —  Suite,   'In   a   Nutshell'    (1916),   'The 

Warriors'  (1917). 
Carpenter  —  Symphony  (1917). 
Laucella  —  Symphonic  Impressions,  'Whitehouse' 

(1917). 

Smith,  David  Stanley  —  Symphony  No.  2  (1918). 
(In  most  cases  these  works  were  conducted  by  the 
composers  in  person.) 

Considering  all  that  this  list  implies  as  to 
the  encouragement  of  original  composition, 
with  the  employment  of  distinguished  singers 
and  players  and  the  development  through 
Mr.  Paine 's  genius  of  a  permanent  chorus  of 
extraordinary  competence  and  sympathy,  it 
is  not  strange  that  these  Festivals  stand  out 
as  peculiarly  significant.  See  Litchfield  County

Opera-Comique  Orchestras.  In  1898  ho  came 
to  America  as  first  oboist  in  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra,  a  position  still  held 
with  distinction.  In  1900  he  founded  the 
Longy  Club,  made  up  of  wind-instruments 
and  piano  (Heinrich  Gebhard),  which  has 
given  many  notable  chamber-music  per- 
formances. The  Boston  Orchestral  Club, 
which  he  conducted  in  1899-1913,  introduced 
many  novelties,  chiefly  by  French  composers.

trained.  Then  he  studied  with  Mrs.  Watson, 
Gleason  and  Eddy,  and  in  1879-81  taught 
piano  at  Northwestern  University  in  Evanston. 
In  1881-84  he  was  in  Berlin,  taking  piano  with

the  noted  A  Cappella  Choir  of  the  School  and 
its  orchestral  forces,  supplied  the  means  for 
the  establishment  in  1908  of  the  Chicago  North

'  I  regard  the  '  Indian '  Suite  an  ideal  guide  for  those 
who  would  build  upon  Indian  themes.  MacDowell 
has  first  of  all  given  us  charming  music,  fascinating 
and  well-conceived  music,  aside  from  any  color  or 
atmosphere  one  may  discover  in  its  measures.  It  is 
not  a  mere  ethnological  report  set  to  music.  It  is 
a  distinct  art-work  and  every  movement  conveys 
a  definite  picture  of  Indian  life.  The  method  of 
idealization  is  not  abstruse.  One  can  quickly  discern 
the  source  of  the  themes  —  they  are  borrowed  deftly 
from  an  ethnological  paper  by  Dr.  Theodore  Baker, 
together  with  some  other  material.  In  the  next 
place,  MacDowell  did  not  over-idealize  or  under- 
idealize  (if  these  terms  may  be  permitted)  since  there 
is  a  happy  balance  of  musical  values  —  of  atmosphere 
obtained,  of  triumph,  of  dignity,  even  of  melancholy, 
wedded  to  finely  conceived  contrasts  and  dynamics. 
Whether  Mr.  MacDowell  ever  seriously  studied  the 
subject  of  Indian  folk-lore  or  folk-music  I  do  not 
know.  But  I  do  know  that  he  has  had  the  genius 
to  produce  a  work  based  on  good  thematic  material, 
soundly  worked  out  and  withal  pleasing  to  every 
musician  and  music-lover.  And  it  rings  true!  It 
is  the  best  orchestral  illustration  extant,  I  think,  of 
what  may  and  what  may  not  be  done  with  Indian 
folk-tunes.  It  serves  to  show,  too,  that  it  is  possible 
to  write  music  which  reflects  the  oddities,  the  char- 
acteristics of  Indian  rhythm  and  melody,  and  at  the 
same  time  to  create  something  that  may  be  analyzed 
freely  as  music.' 

Enthusiasm  for  MacDowell's  music  and 
reverence  for  his  memory  have  expressed 
themselves  in  various  ways,  as  in  the  formation 
of  MacDowell  Clubs  in  several  places,  in  the 
MacDowell  Chorus  in  New  York  (1909)  and 
especially  in  the  MacDowell  Memorial  Associa- 
tion, with  its  artistic  headquarters  at  the 
MacDowell  summer-home  atPeterboro,  N.  H., 
and  the  annual  festivals  held  there  since  1910. 
[R.7] 

MACDOWELL  MEMORIAL  ASSOCIA- 
TION, THE,  was  formed  soon  after  Mac- 
Dowell's death,  largely  to  carry  out  his  own 
idea  concerning  his  summer-home  at  Peter- 
boro,  N.  H.  To  the  Association  Mrs.  Mac- 
Dowell transferred  the  property  that  it  should 
be  'a  center  of  interest  to  artists  working  in 
varied  fields,  who,  being  there  brought  into 
contact,  may  learn  to  appreciate  fully  the 
fundamental  unity  of  the  separate  arts.'  Be- 
sides becoming  a  summer-colony  of  distinctive 
character,  this  headquarters  has  since  1910 
been  the  scene  of  an  annual  festival,  chiefly 
musical,  at  which  a  variety  of  works,  vocal  and 
instrumental,  by  different  composers  have  been 
given  in  a  forest-setting.  In  1910  and  '19  there 


was  an  elaborate  pageant,  the  music  by 
Chalmers  Clifton. 

MACFARLANE,  WILLIAM  CHARLES 
(Oct.  2,  1870,  London,  England),  was  the  son 
of  Duncan  Macfarlane  (1836-1916),  who 
became  a  naturalized  American  citizen  in 
1858.  He  had  his  whole  education  in  New 
York.  Besides  early  lessons  from  his  father, 
he  studied  organ  and  theory  with  S.  P.  Warren 
in  1886-90.  He  was  a  choir-boy  at  Christ 
Church  and  in  1886  appeared  as  concert- 
organist  at  Chickering  Hall.  From  1885  he 
held  various  positions  as  organist,  notably 
in  1889-1900  at  All  Souls',  in  1898-1912  at 
Temple  Emanu-El  and  in  1900-12  at  St. 
Thomas'.  In  1912-19  he  was  municipal  or- 
ganist at  Portland,  Me.,  where  he  annually 
gave  about  40  recitals  of  high  quality  and 
conducted  various  other  musical  under- 
takings. In  1896  he  was  one  of  the  founder? 
of  the  A.  G.  O.  and  in  1897  won  its  Clemson 
medal  for  an  anthem.  In  1911,  '14  and  '17 
he  also  took  the  Kimball  prize  of  the  Chicago 
Madrigal  Club  for  a  cappella  works.  In 
1918  Bates  College  made  him  Mus.D.  His 
organ-works  include  a  Meditation,  Reverie, 
Spring-Song,  Cradle-Song,  Scotch  Fantasia 
and  Scherzo,  and  he  has  written  the  cantata 
'The  Message  of  the  Cross'  (1907),  the 
operettas  'Little  Almond-Eyes'  and  'Swords 
and  Scissors,'  anthems,  songs  and  part-songs.

MADISON  CHORAL  UNION,  THE,  of 
Madison,  Wis.,  was  founded  in  1893,  largely 
through  the  efforts  of  President  Charles  K. 
Adams  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  with  a 
desire  to  unite  musical  interests  in  the  Univer- 
sity and  the  city.  The  conductors  have  been 
Fletcher  A.  Parker  in  1893-1907,  Rossetter  G. 
Cole  in  1907-09,  Elias  A.  Bredin  in  1909-10, 
Louis  A.  Coerne  in  1910-15,  Peter  W.  Dykema 
in  1915-18,  and  Irving  W.  Jones  since  1918. 
The  membership  has  ranged  from  75  to  300, 
with  an  average  of  perhaps  150.  Two  concerts 
are  usually  given  each  year,  with  additional 
ones  in  years  when  a  festival  has  been  held. 
The  University  provides  the  conductor  and 
place  of  rehearsal.  The  Union  has  lately 
made  a  feature  of  Yule-tide  Festivals  with 
emphasis  upon  the  'community'  spirit.

icles ofl915  and  1916),  he  was  killed  while  de- 
fending his  home  from  the  depredations  of  a 
troop  of  German  soldiers.  A  number  of  manu- 
scripts including  the  opera  'Guercoeur,'  are 
said  to  have  been  carried  away  by  the  latter.

MAHLER,  GUSTAV  (July  7,  iseo,  Ka- 

lischt,  Bohemia  :  May  11,  1911,  Vienna). 
See  articles  in  Vols.  iii.  27-8,  and  v.  652.  In 
New  York  he  first  conducted  at  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House  on  Jan.  1,  1908,  the  opera 
being  'Tristan,'  and  in  November  and  De- 
cember he  led  the  Symphony  Society  three 
times,  producing  at  the  second  his  2nd  Sym- 
phony. The  operas  given  under  him  were 
various  Wagnerian  works,  'Don  Giovanni,' 
'Le  Nozze  di  Figaro,'  'Fidelio,'  'The  Bartered 
Bride'  and  'Piqtue  Dame'  (the  last  two  being 
American  premieres).  His  reorganization  of 
the  Philharmonic  Society  in  1909-11  was 
thorough  and  effective,  but  interrupted  at 
the  end  by  ill-health.  His  sudden  death  was 
from  heart- trouble,  complicated  by  pneumonia. 
His  8th  Symphony  (first  given  in  1910  at 
the  Munich  Exposition  under  the  composer) 
was  produced  in  1916  in  Philadelphia  under 
Stokowski,  who  conducted  from  memory, 
with  an  orchestra  of  110,  eight  soloists,  a 
divided  chorus  of  800  and  a  children's  chorus 
of  150.  It  was  thrice  repeated  there  and 
also  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House  in  New 
York.  In  1917  it  was  given  in  Chicago  under 
Stock  with  still  larger  forces.  The  9th 
Symphony  was  first  performed  in  1912  at 
the  Vienna  Festival  under  Bruno  Walter,  and 
also  given  in  1913  by  the  Berlin  Philharmonic 
under  Oskar  Fried.  It  was  not  fully  com- 
pleted or  at  least  revised  by  the  composer. 
In  his  will  he  is  said  to  have  directed  that  all 
material  for  the  10th  Symphony  should  be 
destroyed.  The  list  of  his  works  is  as  follows : 

For  orchestra  and  chorus  —

MANCHESTER,  ARTHUR  LIVING- 
STON (Feb.  9,  1862,  Bass  River,  N.  J.),  had 
his  training  in  piano,  organ  and  theory  with 
Zeckwer  and  in  voice  with  Gilchrist,  Buss- 
mann  and  Tubbs.  Beginning  as  organist  at 
thirteen,  after  1882  he  has  held  a  series  of 
positions  as  head  of  music-schools  —  in  1882- 
86  at  the  Beaver  (Pa.)  Musical  Institute,  in 
1886-93  first  at  the  State  Normal  School  at 
Clarion,  Pa.,  and  then  at  Martha  Washington

1900-02  he  was  president  of  the  M.  T.  N.  A. 
and  active  in  extending  its  range  and  influence, 
in  1900-04  also  editing  'The  Messenger'  as 
its  official  organ.  While  at  Spartanburg  he 
was  conductor  of  the  choral  society  and  of 

1  the  annual  festivals.  At  intervals  he  has 
appeared  in  song-  and  lecture-recitals,  often 

i  with  emphasis  upon  the  work  of  Franz.  He 
has  always  been  interested  in  whatever  per- 

'  tains  to  community-music,  and  prominent  in 
discussions  of  music-education  in  schools  and 
colleges.  He  published  Twelve  Lessons  on  the 

I  Fundamentals  of  Voice-Production  (Ditson), 
and  edited  for  the  Bureau  of  Education  a 
bulletin  on  Music-Education  in  the  United 
States,  1908.  [  R.7  ] 

MANHATTAN  OPERA  HOUSE,  THE, 
was  built  by  Oscar  Hammerstein  in  1906  on 
West  34th  Street,  New  York,  as  a  rival  of  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House,  and  was  managed 
by  him  for  four  seasons,  1906-10.1 

The  venture  was  audacious  and  picturesque, 

,  differing  from  its  competitor  in  that  it  lacked 
the  organized  support  of  society  leaders,  that 
it  eschewed  German  and  that  it  devoted  itself 
either  to  well-known  popular  favorites  or  to 
novelties  of  the  French  school.  Musically, 
the  marked  feature  for  the  first  three  seasons 
was  the  enthusiasm  and  genius  of  Cleofonte 
Campanini,  who  was  both  musical  manager 
and  conductor,  being  followed  in  1909  by 
Enriquez  de  la  Fuente.  From  the  start 
Hammerstein  was  fortunate  in  securing  many 
important  artists,  like  the  tenor  Bonci,  the 
bass  Renaud,  the  soprano  Bressler-Gianoli, 
and  for  a  time  both  Melba  and  Calve.  In 
the  second  season  he  introduced  Mary  Garden 

!  and  Tetrazzini,  besides  a  long  list  of  others. 
The  smaller  size  of  the  auditorium  as  compared 
with  the  Metropolitan,  and  the  exceptional 

[  perfection  of  the  ensemble,  made  many  of  the 

|  performances  extremely  effective. 

The  novelties  introduced  were  'Thais' 
(Nov.  24,  1907),  'Louise'  (Jan.  3,  1908), 
'Siberia'  (Feb.  6,  1908)  'Pelleas  et  Melisande' 

!  (Feb.  19,  1908),  'Le  Jongleur  de  Notre-Dame' 
(Nov.  27,  1908),  'La  Princesse  d'Auberge' 
(Mar.  10,  1909),  'Herodiade'  (Nov.  8,  1909), 
'Sapho'  (Nov.  17,  1909),  'Griselidis'  (Jan. 
19,  1910)  and  'Elektra'  (Feb.  1,  1910),  be- 
sides several  interesting  revivals  of  works  not 
recently  given. 

In  1908  Hammerstein  broadened  his  field 
by  erecting  the  fine  Philadelphia  Opera 

j  House,  but  in  1910  he  sold  out  to  a  syndicate 

!  friendly  to  the  Metropolitan  interest,  agreeing 
not  to  undertake  grand  opera  in  New  York 
for  ten  years. 

1  In  1893  Hammerstein  used  the  same  name  for  an- 
other house,  also  on  34th  Street  and  built  for  the  same 
purpose,  which  he  sold  precipitately  after  but  a  fort- 
night's experiment. 


The  record  of  the  Manhattan,  as  given  by 
Krehbiel  (Chapters  of  Opera,  pp.  426-7),  is

continued  under  Door  and  Gradener  at  the 
Vienna  Conservatory,  taking  first  prize  three 
years  in  succession,  and  made  her  debut  in 
1879.  In  1881  she  came  to  New  York,  appear- 
ing at  once  in  recital  and  early  in  1883  with 
the  Thomas  Orchestra.  Since  then  she  has 
played  with  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra 
and  other  orchestras  and  often  in  recital.  In 
1885  at  a  'Novelty  Concert'  under  Van  der 
Stucken  she  introduced  the  second  and  third 
movements  of  MacDowell's  1st  Concerto.  In 
1890-92  she  formed  the  Margulies  Trio  with 
Lichtenberg  and  Herbert,  and  in  1904  this 
was  revived  in  more  permanent  form  with 
Lichtenberg  and  Schulz  (Schroeder  after  1915). 
This  organization  has  introduced  in  America 
many  chamber- works  by  Korngold,  Juon, 
Reger,  Georg  Schumann  and  others,  and  is 
counted  one  of  the  best.  Since  1887  she  has

also  been  chief  piano-teacher  at  the  National 
Conservatory.     [  R.7  ] 

MARINE  BAND,  THE.  The  military 
band  belonging  to  the  U.  S.  Marine  Corps, 
with  headquarters  at  Washington  and  for 
that  reason  more  or  less  associated  with  the 
National  Government  and  traditionally  re- 
garded as  its  official  musical  organization. 

The  Marine  Corps  was  established  in  1798 
and  from  the  start  had  a  fife-and-drum  corps 
of  32  players.  In  1802  this  was  transformed 
into  a  brass-band,  which  is  known  to  have 
officiated  on  occasion  outside  the  regular  mili- 
tary routine,  though  the  records  were  destroyed 
in  the  War  of  1812.  Beginning  with  1854  the 
giving  of  open-air  concerts  at  the  Capitol  or  the 
White  House  became  an  established  custom, 
and  congressional  action  followed,  increasing  the 
Band's  compensation  and  finally,  in  1861,  desig- 
nating it  as  the  chief  band  in  the  service.  Up 
to  this  time  the  number  of  players  had  been  30. 
In  1898  it  was  officially  increased  to  60  (now 
65) .  The  leader  was  then  given  the  pay  of  first 
lieutenant  in  the  Corps,  which  in  1916  was 
changed  to  that  of  captain.  A  full  list  of  the 
leaders  is  not  available,  especially  as  in  earlier 
years  different  members  alternated  in  the  duty. 
In  1824-30  the  leader  was  John  Lewis  Clubb, 
in  1830  Entius  Friquet,  in  1830-41  Francis 
Schenig,  in  1841-42  Joseph  Curveltier,  in  1842- 
43  and  again  in  1848-54  Antonio  Pons,  in  1843- 
48  and  again  in  1854-71  Francis  Scala,  in  1871- 
73  Henry  Fries,  in  1873-80  Louis  Schneider, 
in  1880-92  John  Philip  Sousa,  in  1892-97  Fran- 
cesco Fanciulli,  and  since  1898  William  H. 
Santelmann.  For  at  least  fifty  years,  probably 
i  more,  the  Band  has  ranked  as  one  of  the  best, 
!  if  not  the  best,  in  the  country.  It  has  regularly 
officiated  at  functions  of  national  importance 
'  at  Washington  and  occasionally  has  appeared 
!  elsewhere,  especially  at  the  great  Expositions, 
;  and  has  made  concert-tours.

Conservatory  to  succeed  Joachim  at  the  Berlin 
Hochschule.  As  reserve-officer  of  the  French 
army  he  was  interned  at  the  outbreak  of  the 
war.  After  his  connection  with  the  Hoch- 
schule was  terminated  on  Oct.  1,  1915,  he  was 
allowed  to  leave  the  detention-camp,  but  com- 
pelled to  remain  in  Germany.  After  the  war 
he  returned  to  Geneva.  To  the  list  of  works

11,  1844,  Lambourn,  England  :  Feb.  23, 
1916,  London.)  See  article  in  Vol.  iii.  65.  He 
remained  organist  at  St.  Paul's  till  his  death. 
A  tablet  commemorating  his  forty-two  years' 
distinguished  service  was  unveiled  in  the  crypt 
on  Oct.  31,  1917.  In  1912  Oxford  University 
conferred  an  honorary  Mus.D.  upon  him.  A 
full  list  of  his  works  is  given  in  '  The  Musical 
Times,'  April,  1916.  It  includes  20  services 
(complete  or  partial) ,  22  anthems  (both  services 
and  anthems  often  with  orchestra),  21  hymn- 
tunes,  5  carols,  a  collection  of  84  tunes  and 
carols,  some  secular  songs  and  part-songs, 
editions  of  church-music  by  other  composers, 
and  the  manual  The  Art  of  Training  Choir- 
Boys. 

MARTIN,  RICCARDO  [Christian  name 
originally  Hugh  Whitfield]  (Nov.  18,  1881, 
Hopkinsville,  Ky.),  encountered  strong  family 
opposition  to  musical  aspirations,  but  began 
violin  in  Nashville,  harmony  with  Irrgang  in 
Berlin  and  singing  with  Carelli  in  Naples,  and 
in  1896-1900  was  under  MacDowell  in  com- 
position in  New  York.  From  this  period  date 
several  songs  (Ditson,  Schirmer,  Hamelle), 
men's  choruses  (Schirmer)  and  some  choral  and 
orchestral  works.  In  1901  he  was  enabled  by 
H.  H.  Flagler  to  study  for  the  opera-stage  in 
Paris  under  Sbriglia,  M.  and  Mme.  Escalaiis 
and  Jean  de  Reszke,  developing  into  an  effec- 
tive tenor.  His  debut  as  Faust  was  in  1904  at 
Nantes  (the  manager  then  affixing  a  stage-name 
that  he  has  felt  obliged  to  retain).  He  also 
sang  in  Verona  and  Milan  in  1905-06,  and  in 
1906  appeared  in  New  Orleans  and  toured  with 
the  Henry  Russell  company.  In  1907-15  he 
was  regularly  engaged  at  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House,  appearing  first  in  'Mefistofele' 
and  later  creating  (for  that  stage)  the  tenor  roles 
in  'La  Wally,'  'The  Pipe  of  Desire,'  'Mona' 
and  'Cyrano  de  Bergerac,'  and  in  Philadelphia 
with  the  Chicago  Opera  Company  in  'The 
Cricket  on  the  Hearth.'  In  1910-11  he  also 
sang  at  Covent  Garden  in  London,  appearing 


first  in  'Madama  Butterfly,'  and  in  1910  was 
at  the  Teatro  Arbeu  in  Mexico  City.  In  1916- 
17  he  toured  with  the  Boston  Grand  Opera 
Company.  His  favorite  roles  are  Enzo  (in 
'La  Gioconda'),  Manrico,  Rodolfo,  Avito  (in 
'  L'Amore  dei  Tre  R& ') ,  Cavaradossi  and  Pink- 
erton.  He  was  the  first  American  to  sing  the 
latter  at  the  Metropolitan  and  at  Covent  Gar- 
den. [  R.9  ]

MARZO,  EDUARDO  (Nov.  29,  1852,  Na- 
ples, Italy),  came  to  America  in  1867  as  a 
boy-pianist,  having  then  studied  with  Nacci- 
arone  and  Miceli,  but  went  back  for  composi- 
tion-lessons under  Pappalardo.  From  1869 
he  traveled  widely  as  musical  director  for 
troupes  and  accompanist  for  soloists,  being 
associated  with  Carlotta  Patti,  Mario,  Miss 
Gary,  lima  de  Murska,  Sauret,  Tietjens,  Sa- 
rasate  and  many  others.  Since  1878  he  has 
worked  in  New  York  as  vocal  teacher,  or- 
ganist and  composer.  At  present  he  is  or- 
ganist at  the  Church  of  the  Holy  Name  and 
teaches  in  colleges  at  Mount  St.  Vincent  and 
in  New  Rochelle.  Since  1884  he  has  received 
distinguished  decorations,  royal  and  ecclesias- 
tical, from  Italy.  In  1896  he  was  a  founder 
of  the  A.  G.  O.  His  published  works  include 
9  masses,  4  vespers,  40  songs  and  anthems 
for  the  Roman  Catholic  service ;  3  Te  Deums, 
40  anthems  and  35  solos  for  the  Protestant 
service ;  a  sacred  cantata  for  chorus  and  or- 
chestra ;  6  operettas  and  cantatas  for  women's 
vofces ;  about  40  part-songs  for  women's  voices 
and  about  40  secular  songs.  He  has  also  edited 
many  masses  and  motets  (Schirmer,  Ditson), 
several  collections  of  Italian  folk-songs,  and 
The  Art  of  Vocalization,  24  vols.  In  manu- 
script he  has  a  setting  of  the  Penitential  Psalms, 
an  orchestral  prelude,  preludes  and  fugues  for 
string-quartet,  etc.  On  Nov.  17,  1917,  his 
friends  gave  him  a  banquet  at  the  Waldorf- 
Astoria  in  celebration  of  his  fiftieth  year  of 
activity  in  America.  [  R.5  ]

In  1902  he  made  a  brief  and  singularly  ill- 
advised  visit  to  the  United  States,  conducting 
two  or  three  of  his  works  (including  'Iris')  in 
New  York,  Boston,  etc.  In  1911  he  made  a 
trip  to  South  America,  which  was  more  fortu- 
nate. To  the  list  of  operas  add  '  Isabeau '  (191 1 , 
Buenos  Aires,  1917,  Chicago),  'Parisina'  (1913, 
Milan),  'Lodoletta'  (1917,  Rome,  1918,  New 
York),  and  one  or  two  lesser  works.  He  has 
written  a  'Rapsodia  Satanica'^to  accompany  a 
cinema-film  (1917,  the  Augusteo,  Rome).  See

MASON,  DANIEL  GREGORY  (1820- 
1869).  See  Register,  4. 

MASON,  DANIEL  GREGORY  (Nov.  20, 
1873,  Brookline,  Mass.),  is  a  son  of  Henry 
Mason  (see  below)  and  grandson  of  Lowell 
Mason.  He  graduated  from  Harvard  in  1895. 
His  teachers  in  music  at  various  times  were 
Johns,  Ethelbert  Nevin,  Paine,  Arthur  Whiting, 
Chadwick  and  Goetschius  in  Boston  or  New 
York  and  d'Indy  in  Paris.  Since  about  1900 
he  has  been  increasingly  prominent  in  New  York 
as  a  skillful  teacher,  lecturer,  critic  and  author, 
besides  much  notable  composition.  After  lec- 
turing at  the  Normal  College  in  New  York, 
for  the  American  University  Extension  Society 
and  at  Teachers  College,  since  1910  he  has  been 
on  the  staff  of  Columbia  University  as  assistant- 
or  associate-professor.  His  activity  as  lecturer 
has  extended  to  many  other  institutions,  like 
the  Brooklyn  Academy  of  Arts  and  Sciences, 
the  Institute  of  Musical  Art,  the  American 
Institute  of  Applied  Music,  Smith  College  in 
Massachusetts,  etc.  For  the  Board  of  Educa-

MASON,  LOWELL  (Jan.  8,  1792,  Medfield, 
Mass.  :  Aug.  11,  1872,  Orange,  N.  J.).  See 
article  in  Vol.  iii.  74.  During  his  life  in  Sa- 
vannah he  was  active  first  in  the  Independent 
Presbyterian  Church  and  in  1827  a  founder  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church.*  In  1818  he 
and  F.  L.  Abel,  who  taught  him  harmony,  be- 
gan making  a  collection  of  choral  music,  which 
he  took  to  Boston  in  search  of  a  publisher. 
It  was  partly  due  to  the  interest  of  G.  K.  Jack- 
son that  the  work  was  finally  taken  up  by  the 
Handel  and  Haydn  Society.  Their  failure  to 
give  Mason  credit  as  compiler  is  surprising. 
The  net  proceeds  of  the  venture  were  about 
$12,000  for  the  Society  and  the  same  for  Mason 
—  a  fortunate  wind-fall  for  both  parties.  The 
book's  prestige  and  the  fame  of  his  choir  in 
Savannah  led  to  his  being  called  in  1827  to  be 
choir-master  for  three  Boston  churches.  Of 
these  the  chief  was  that  in  Bowdoin  Street, 
where  Dr.  Lyman  Beecher  was  pastor,  and  here 
Mason  soon  concentrated  his  efforts  as  organist. 
In  1827-32  he  was  president  and  conductor 
of  the  Handel  and  Haydn  Society,  which  he 
brought  to  a  new  standard  of  efficiency,  though 
without  undertaking  any  new  work  of  signal 
importance. 

His  interest  in  Pestalozzi  was  aroused  by 
books  brought  in  1829  from  Europe  by  W.  C. 
Woodbridge,  who  joined  him  in  the  effort  to 
prove  by  classes  the  value  of  the  system  for  the 
public  schools.  The  Academy  of  Music,  or- 
ganized in  1833  (under  the  chairmanship  of 
Samuel  Eliot,  mayor  of  the  city,  father  of 
President  Eliot  of  Harvard) ,  was  an  immediate 
success  (1500  pupils  the  first  year),  so  that  G. 
J.  Webb  was  soon  called  in  as  assistant.  The 
issue  of  Mason's  Manual  for  Instruction,  1834, 
with  its  emphasis  upon  'the  thing  before  the 
sign,'  led  at  once  to  the  formation  of  normal 
classes  and  these,  under  the  leadership  of  Ma- 
son and  Webb,  in  turn  started  the  movement 
for  musical  'conventions'  which  soon  spread 
beyond  New  England  into  New  York,  Ohio 

1  At  that  time  the  distinction  between  'Congrega- 
tional '  and  '  Presbyterian  '  in  the  naming  of  churches 
was  only  just  establishing  itself.  The  Independent 
Church  was  originally  the  former  rather  than  the 
latter.

and  further  west.  It  was  not  till  1837  that 
the  authorities  yielded  to  the  pressure  to  in- 
troduce music  into  the  public  schools,  and  even 
then  made  no  appropriation  for  it,  so  that  the 
first  year  Mason  not  only  served  without  salary, 
but  supplied  all  books  and  materials.  He 
remained  in  charge  till  1841,  being  succeeded 
by  B.  F.  Baker.  During  his  trip  abroad  in 
1837  he  heard  the  first  English  performance 
of  Mendelssohn's  'St.  Paul'  at  Birmingham, 
a  rendering  of  '  Fidelio '  in  English  (with  Schroe- 
der-Devrient)  and  innumerable  concerts.  At 
Zurich  he  visited  Pestalozzi,  Nageli  and  others. 
On  his  second  European  trip,  in  1853-54,  he 
remained  about  eighteen  months.  He  was 
now  recognized  as  an  authority  and  lectured 
frequently  on  congregational  singing  and  music- 
education.  His  Letters,  1853,  belong  to  this 
trip.  See  also  ACADEMY  OP  Music  (Boston), 
CONVENTIONS,  and  PUBLIC  SCHOOLS. 

After  1854  he  lived  at  Orange,  N.  J.,  where 
his  third  son,  William  Mason,  was  then  teach- 
ing. He  had  accumulated  a  considerable  li- 
brary, increased  in  1852  by  the  purchase  of  the 
collection  of  the  famous  organist  Rinck.  After 
his  death  the  library  was  given  by  the  family 
to  Yale  University.  His  degree  of  Mus.D. 
was  not  absolutely  the  first  in  America  (see 
DEGREES),  but  certainly  the  first  of  distinction. 

His  remarkable  power  as  leader  and  organizer 
was  due  to  a  variety  of  characteristics.  He 
had  keenness  of  intellect,  patience  of  investi- 
gation and  ability  to  marshal  and  impart  in- 
formation. His  enthusiasm  was  ardent  in 
everything  pertaining  to  the  application  of 
music  as  an  art  to  popular  education  and  to  the 
exercises  of  social  religion.  He  was  eminently 
magnetic  as  a  leader  or  teacher  of  classes  and 
choirs,  but  strict  in  discipline  and  always  serious 
in  purpose.  His  instinct  was  that  of  a  true 
educator,  whose  object  lies  outside  himself, 
rather  than  of  the  self-conscious  artist.  He 
deliberately  confined  himself  to  those  forms 
of  effort  that  he  believed  most  important  and 
promising  for  the  conditions  of  the  period. 
Even  so,  he  was  somewhat  ahead  of  the  age. 
Yet  so  pervasive  was  his  influence  that  he  lived 
to  the  verge  of  a  new  period,  when  much  that 
he  did  was  lightly  esteemed  because  rudimen- 
tary. See  the  more  or  less  senseless  treatment 
of  the  subject  in  Ritter,  Music  in  America. 

There  is  no  adequate  biography  as  yet,  but 
one  is  being  completed  by  his  grandson,  Henry 
L.  Mason,  of  Boston,  who  has  kindly  supplied 
many  details  for  this  notice. 

He  was  a  fertile  composer  of  hymn-tunes 
and  arranged  many  from  various  sources.

terest apart  from  their  deliberate  simplicity. 
For  titles  of  his  books  in  this  field  see  TUNE- 
BOOKS  and  HYMN-BOOKS. 

He  was  the  pioneer  in  song-books  for  juvenile 
use,  both  sacred  and  secular,  including  many 
devised  specially  for  public  schools.  The  full 
list  of  these  should  be  on  record : 

The  Juvenile  Psalmist,  1829  —  believed  by  him 
the  first  book  with  music  for  Sunday-Schools,  The 
Juvenile  Lyre,  1830  —  the  first  American  school 
song-book,  The  Juvenile  Singing-School,  1835,  Sabbath- 
School  Songs,  1836,  The  Sabbath-School  Harp,  1837,  The 
Juvenile  Songster,  1837  (London),  Juvenile  Music

American  Sabbath-School  Singing-Book,  1843,  Song- 
Book  of  the  School-Room,  1845,  The  Primary  School 
Song-Book,  1846,  The  Normal  Singer,  1856,  The 
Song-Garden,  3  parts,  1864-65  — with  the  Manual 
for  Instruction  of  the  Boston  Academy  in  the  Elements 
of  Vocal  Music,  1834. 

To  these  may  be  added  the  part-song  collections, 
The  Odeon,  1837,  The  Boston  Glee-Book,  1838,  The 
Lyrist,  1838,  The  Gentlemen's  Glee-Book,  1841,  21 
Madrigals,  Glees  and  Part-Songs,  1843,  The  Vocalist, 
1844,  The  Glee-Hive,  1851.  At  one  point  material 
was  incorporated  in  the  periodical  'The  Musical 
Library,'  1834-35  (with  Webb).  [  R.3  ]

MASON,  LUTHER  WHITING  (Apr.  3, 
1828,  Turner,  Me.  :  July  14,  1896,  Buck- 
field,  Me.) ,  was  not  related  to  the  Lowell  Mason 
family.  Though  mainly  self-taught  in  music, 
he  got  his  school-education  by  teaching  it.  He 
was  all  his  life  engaged  in  public-school  music, 
from  1853  in  Louisville,  then  in  Cincinnati, 
where  he  first  perfected  his  system,  from  1864 
in  Boston,  at  first  devoting  himself  to  supplying 
the  lack  of  instruction  in  the  primary  grades, 
in  1879-82  in  Japan  as  governmental  super- 
visor,1 and  then  in  Boston  again.  With  George 
A.  Veazie,  Jr.,  he  published  a  series  of  manuals 
as  The  National  Music-Course,  making  a  trip 
to  Germany  in  connection  with  it  and  securing 
such  approval  from  the  Leipzig  Conservatory 
that  a  German  translation  was  issued.  [  R.4  ]

1  It  is  said  that  his  system  was  speedily  introduced 
into  30,000  Japanese  schools.  This  unfamiliar  style 
of  music  led  to  the  term  '  Mason-song '  for  Western 
music  generally.

MASON,  WILLIAM  (Jan.  24,  1829,  Bos- 
ton :  July  14, 1908,  New  York).  See  article 
in  Vol.  iii.  74.  His  early  studies  were  with 
Henry  Schmidt  in  Boston.  By  1846  he  played 
at  Harvard  Musical  Association  concerts  in 
piano-trios  by  Beethoven,  Reissiger  and  May- 
seder.  After  being  at  Leipzig  he  spent  a  year 
with  Dreyschock  at  Prague.  In  1853  he  played 
Weber's  'Concertstiick'  in  London  with  the 
Harmonic  Union  under  Benedict.  In  1854-55 
he  toured  the  United  States  as  pianist  and  then 
settled  in  New  York.  His  desire  to  introduce 
Brahms'  Trio,  op.  8,  led  to  the  Mason-Thomas 
Soirees.  His  piano-works  numbered  about  40, 
including  'Amitie  pour  Moi,'  op.  4,  'Silver 
Spring,'  op.  6,  Ballade  in  B,  op.  12,  'Monody,' 
op.  13,  the  mazurka-caprice  'Spring-Dawn,' 
op.  20,  'Reverie  Poetique,'  op.  24,  Berceuse, 
op.  34,  Serenata,  op.  39,  Scherzo,  op.  41,  and 
'Capriccio  Fantastico,'  op.  50.  He  published 
(with  E.  S.  Hadley)  a  Method  for  the  Piano, 
1867,  a  System  for  Beginners,  1871,  Pianoforte- 
Technics,  1878,  and,  most  important  of  all, 
Touch  and  Technic,  op.  44.  For  many  years 
he  was  counted  the  foremost  teacher  in  the 
country.  [  R.4  ] 

MASON  &  HAMLIN  COMPANY,  THE, 
of  Boston,  was  founded  in  1854  by  Henry 
Mason  (son  of  Lowell  Mason)  and  Emmons 
Hamlin,  the  latter  having  been  in  the  employ  of 
Prince  &  Co.  of  Buffalo.  The  business  at  first 
was  the  making  of  the  form  of  reed-organ 
known  as  the  melodeon,  and  the  output  began 
with  about  450  instruments  a  year.  But 
Hamlin  brought  with  him  his  method  of  im- 
proving tone  by  twisting  the  reeds,  and  other 
improvements  were  rapidly  made,  so  that  the 
capacity  of  the  factory  was  greatly  increased 
and  the  quality  improved.  In  1861  what  was 
called  the  'cabinet  organ'  was  first  put  on  the 
market,  often  with  several  sets  of  reeds  or 
'stops.'  This  has  been  developed  to  a  high 
pitch  of  perfection  and  has  received  numerous 
awards  for  excellence.  In  1882  the  Company 
began  also  to  make  pianos  and  since  1900  have 
introduced  notable  features,  especially  in  the 
method  of  stringing  and  tuning.  In  1869 
Lowell  Mason,  Jr.,  became  president,  con- 
tinuing till  his  death  in  1885.  The  present 
president  is  Henry  Lowell  Mason,  son  of  the 
founder. 

MASON  BROTHERS',  of  Boston,  was  a 
publishing  firm  formed  in  1855  by  Daniel  Greg- 
ory Mason  and  Lowell  Mason,  Jr.  (sons  of 
Lowell  Mason),  largely  to  take  over  the  issue 
of  their  father's  books.  They  continued  until 
1869,  when  D.  G.  Mason  died  and  Lowell 
Mason  joined  his  brother  Henry  in  the  Mason 
&  Hamlin  Co. 

MASON-THOMAS  SOIREES,  THE,  in 
New  York,  were  chamber-music  recitals  begun 
in  1855  and  continued  till  1868.  The  original 


players  were  William  Mason,  piano,  Theodore 
Thomas,  first  violin,  Joseph  Mosenthal,  second 
violin,  George  Matzka,  viola,  and  Carl  Berg- 
mann,  'cello.  The  latter  was  succeeded  after 
a  year  by  Brannes  and  he  in  turn  by  Frederic 
Bergner.  Otherwise  the  quintet  remained  in- 
tact. These  recitals  were  notable  for  the  num- 
ber of  chamber- works  introduced  to  America, 
as  well  as  for  the  high  standard  of  interpreta- 
tion and  performance.

it  was  merged  with  'The  Philharmonic'  and 
passed  out  of  his  hands.  His  books  were  Out-

societies.  In  1873  Thomas  was  impressed  with 
his  work  as  accompanist  at  choral  rehearsals, 
so  that  he  was  made  organist  at  the  first  May 
Festival.  In  1873-76  he  was  in  Berlin,  on 
Rubinstein's  advice  taking  piano  with  Kullak, 
theory  with  Weitzmann  and  score-reading  and 
conducting  with  Dorn.  On  his  return  to  Cin- 
cinnati in  1880  he  was  trainer  of  the  Festival 
Chorus,  teacher  of  harmony  at  the  new  Col- 
lege of  Music  and  organist  for  the  Festivals. 
In  1886  he  went  to  New  York  as  assistant-con- 
ductor under  Thomas  of  the  National  Opera 
Company.  When  this  disbanded  he  directed 
the  Orpheus  Club  in  New  York,  the  Albany 
Festivals  and  other  choral  organizations.  In 
1896-98  he  moved  to  Chicago  to  assist  in  the 
direction  of  the  Thomas  Orchestra  there  and 
the  chorus  associated  with  it.  Returning  to 
New  York,  he  then  added  the  conducting  of 
the  Mendelssohn  Glee  Club  (1898-1904),  the 
Worcester  Festivals,  the  Cecilia  Society  of 
Boston,  the  Bridgeport  Oratorio  Society 
and  (from  1900)  was  associated  with  Paine 
in  the  Norfolk  Festivals,  in  1916  becoming  his 
successor.  During  this  extremely  varied  and 
significant  career  he  has  directed  many  first 
performances  for  America,  as  of  Bantock's 
'Omar  Khayyam,'  Pierne's  'St.  Francis,' 


Grainger's  'Marching-Song  of  Democracy,' 
Parker's  'The  Dream  of  Mary,'  Chadwick's 
'Land  of  our  Hearts,'  Coleridge-Taylor's  post- 
humous 'Orchestral  Rhapsody,'  Reger's  'The 
Nuns'  (Worcester),  Stanford's  Piano-Concerto 
and  Grainger's  Suite  'In  a  Nutshell'  (Nor- 
folk). He  has  published  Daily  Studies  for  the 
Piano,  Choirs  and  Choral  Music,  1901,  and 
edited  important  program-books  for  the  New 
York  Philharmonic  Society  (1887-96),  the 
Chicago  Symphony  Orchestra  (1896-98)  and 
the  Worcester  Festivals.  In  1901  Alfred  Uni- 
versity made  him  Mus.D.  [  R.6  ]

'MELODEON.'  The  name  usually  used 
at  first  for  the  American  form  of  reed- 
organ. 

MELTZER,  CHARLES  HENRY  (1852, 
London,  England),  was  musically  trained  in 
London  and  Paris,  and  became  foreign  corre- 
spondent for  the  Chicago  'Tribune'  and  the 
New  York  '  Herald. '  He  came  to  New  York 
in  1888  and  was  dramatic  critic  for  the  '  Herald,' 
'World,'  'American,'  and  ' Cosmopolitan  Maga- 
zine.' In  1903-07  he  was  assistant  to  Grau 
and  Conried  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House. 
Besides  many  plays  which  have  been  successful 
on  the  stage,  he  has  written  several  opera- 
librettos,  such  as  'The  Garden  of  Allah,'  'The 
Sunken  Bell'  and  'Cophetua,'  and  prepared 
many  singing-versions  from  the  French,  Ger- 
man and  Italian,  as  of  Monteverde's  'Orfeo,' 
'  Les  Contes  d'Hoffmann,'  'Les  Dragons  de  Vil- 
lars,'  'Die  Walkiire,'  'Das  Rheingold'  and  'Die 
Konigskinder.'  He  has  been  a  strong  advo- 
cate of  opera  in  English,  of  a  National  Con- 
servatory and  of  a  National  Opera  House.

MENDELSSOHN  CHOIR,  THE,  of  To- 
ronto, was  founded  in  1894  by  Augustus  S. 
Vogt,  who  developed  it  to  an  extraordinary 
pitch  of  proficiency  and  remained  conductor 
till  1917.  He  was  succeeded  by  Herbert  A. 
Fricker.  Its  singers  are  chosen  by  rigid  tests 
year  after  year  and  its  rehearsals  carried  out 
with  the  precision  of  an  orchestra,  and  the  re- 
sult is  a  perfection  of  tone-quality,  of  accuracy, 
of  elasticity,  shading  and  artistic  expressive- 
ness unsurpassed  in  America  —  perhaps  any- 
where. In  Toronto  the  Choir  gives  usually  an

annual  festival  of  five  performances,  and  it  has 
repeatedly  made  tours  in  the  United  States, 
notably  in  1912.  Its  repertoire  includes  al- 
most everything  of  importance  in  choral  music 
—  a  cappella  or  with  orchestra. 

MENDELSSOHN  CLUB,  THE  CHICAGO, 
was  organized  in  1894  with  Frederick  W.  Root 
as  first  conductor.  Since  1895  its  director  has 
been  Harrison  M.  Wild.  The  usual  number 
of  singers  is  about  70.  Three  regular  concerts 
are  given  annually  and  three  for  charitable 
objects,  making  a  total  since  organization  of 
over  150.  The  repertory  includes  more  than 
500  works,  with  emphasis  upon  the  finest  part- 
songs,  but  including  some  works  with  orchestra, 
like  Mendelssohn's  music  for  'Antigone,'  Da- 
vid's 'Le  Desert,1  Reinecke's  Festival  Over- 
ture, op.  218,  Wagner's  'Das  Liebesmahl,' 
Brahms'  Rhapsodic,  Bruch's  'Frithjof,'  Buck's 
'Voyage  of  Columbus,'  Zollner's  'Young  Sieg- 
fried '  and  Harling's  '  Before  the  Dawn. '  Many 
shorter  works  have  been  written  especially 
for  the  Club.  Some  of  the  larger  American 
compositions  are  Buck's  'Paul  Revere's  Ride' 
and  'Chorus  of  Spirits  and  Hours,'  Foote's 
'Farewell  of  Hiawatha,'  Parker's  Ode  for 
Commencement-Day,  'The  Leap  of  Roushan 
Beg'  and  'Spirit  of  Beauty,'  Cadman's  'The 
Vision  of  Sir  Launfal,'  and  Harling's  'The  Two 
Angels'  and  'Death  of  Minnehaha.' 

MENDELSSOHN  CLUB,  THE,  of  Phila- 
delphia, was  formed  in  1874  by  William  W. 
Gilchrist  out  of  his  choir  at  St.  Clement's  and 
properly  organized  in  1876  as  a  glee-club  of  16 
voices.  In  1879  the  chorus  was  made  mixed 
and  the  size  increased  to  30  singers.  At  tunes 
the  membership  has  been  as  high  as  150,  and 
at  present  is  about  100.  Gilchrist  continued 
as  conductor  till  1915,  when  ill-health  forced 
a  leave  of  absence.  After  his  death  at  the 
end  of  1916  N.  Lindsay  Norden  became  con- 
ductor. For  a  few  years  from  1889  the  Club 
maintained  its  own  orchestra,  and  it  has  re- 
peatedly sung  with  the  Philadelphia  Symphony 
Orchestra.  Thus  in  1904,  '07  and  '14  it  assisted 
in  giving  Beethoven's  9th  Symphony  and  in 
1916  in  several  performances  of  Mahler's  8th 
Symphony.  In  1909,  with  other  clubs,  it 
celebrated  the  Mendelssohn  Centenary.  One 
of  its  most  striking  concerts  was  the  giving 
of  Henschel's  Requiem  in  1906.  Mr.  Norden 
has  introduced  many  a  cappella  Russian  works, 
hitherto  unknown  outside  of  Russia. 

MENDELSSOHN  GLEE  CLUB,  THE,  of 
New  York.  See  article  in  Vol.  iii.  370.  Frank 
Damrosch  continued  as  conductor  till  1909, 
being  succeeded  in  1909-13  by  Clarence  Dick- 
inson, in  1913-19  by  Louis  Koemmenich  and 
since  1919  by  Nelson  P.  Coffin. 

MENDELSSOHN  QUINTETTE  CLUB, 
THE,  of  Boston,  was  the  first  artistic  chamber- 
music  group  in  America.  It  was  organized  in 


1849,  with  August  Fries  as  leader,  Gerloff 
(second  violin),  Thomas  Ryan  (viola  or  clari- 
net), Edward  Lehmann  (flute  or  viola)  and 
Wulf  Fries  ('cello).  Francis  Riha  soon  re- 
placed Gerloff.  In  1858-77  William  Schultze 
was  leader,  with  Carl  Meisel  as  second  and 
Edward  M.  Heindl  as  flute.  Ryan  and  Wulf 
Fries  continued  in  the  Club  till  its  dissolution 
about  1895.  The  organization  became  well 
known  throughout  the  country  and  for  nearly 
fifty  years  exerted  an  invaluable  influence,  pre- 
paring the  way  for  several  later  groups. 

MENDELSSOHN  SOCIETY,  THE,  of 
Chicago,  was  an  early  choral  society,  main- 
tained in  1858-65  under  the  leadership  of 
Adolph  W.  Dohn.

MENEELY  &  CO.,  of  West  Troy  (now 
Watervliet),  N.  Y.,  for  nearly  a  century  have 
conducted  a  bell-founding  business  of  national 
importance.  The  business  was  started  in  1826 
by  Andrew  Meneely,  who  in  1851  was  suc- 
ceeded by  his  sons  Edwin  A.  Meneely  (1829- 
1887)  and  George  R.  Meneely  (1831-1915). 
In  1874  the  present  firm-name  was  adopted 
and  in  1880  the  present  president,  Andrew  H. 
Meneely  (b.  1853),  came  in.  This  famous 
factory  has  supplied  a  large  number  of  the 
finest  chimes  in  the  country,  as  well  as  sets 
of  bells  for  organs.  They,  with  other  manu- 
facturers who  have  followed  them,  have  in- 
troduced refinements  and  additions  to  Euro- 
pean practice  that  have  made  American  bells 
artistically  notable.

MERZ,  KARL  (Sept.  19,  1836,  Bensheim, 
Germany  :  Jan.  30,  1890,  Wooster,  O.), 
early  learned  the  violin  and  organ  from  his 
father,  becoming  organist  at  eleven.  In  1854 
he  came  to  Philadelphia,  through  Bonawitz 
got  employment  in  theater-orchestras,  for  a 
year  was  organist  in  the  Sixth  Presbyterian 
Church  and  tried  critical  writing.  In  1856-59 
he  taught  at  a  school  near  Lancaster,  was  then 
two  years  in  the  South,  and  on  the  outbreak 
of  the  Civil  War  in  1861  became  music-director 
at  Oxford  Female  College  in  Ohio,  where  he 
remained  till  1882.  From  1868  he  contributed 
to  'Brainard's  Musical  World'  and  from  1873 
was  its  editor,  making  a  decided  impression 
by  his  thoughtful  articles.  From  1882  he  was 
head  of  the  music-department  of  Wooster 
University  at  Wooster,  O.  He  wrote  a  piano- 
trio,  a  piano-sonata  in  C  minor,  many  piano- 
pieces  and  songs,  the  operettas  '  The  Last  Will 
and  Testament'  (1877,  Oxford),  'Katie  Dean'

(1882,  Oxford)  and  'The  Runaway  Flirt'  (pub- 
lished in  1868) ,  and  various  choruses,  quartets 
and  organ-pieces.  He  published  Methods  for 
the  reed-organ  and  piano,  and  Elements  of 
Harmony  and  Composition,  1881.  His  collected 
essays  appeared  as  Music  and  Culture,  1890. 
His  fine  library  became  the  basis  of  the  musical 
collection  in  the  Carnegie  Institute  of  Pitts- 
burgh. [  R.4  ] 

J  MESSAGER,  ANDRE  CHARLES  PROS- 
PER (Dec.  30,  1853,  Montlucon,  France).  See 
article  in  Vol.  iii.  183.  He  left  Covent  Garden 
in  1907.  In  1908-14  he  was  director  and  chef 
d'orchestre  at  the  Grand-Opera  in  Paris,  in 
1908  succeeded  Marty  as  conductor  of  the  Con- 
certs du  Conservatoire  and  in  1918  brought 
this  orchestra  for  50  concerts  in  the  United 
States  and  Canada  under  the  auspices  of  the 
French  government.  On  his  return  he  retired 
from  active  conducting.  To  the  list  of  works 
add  the  operas  'Fortunio'  (1907,  Paris,  Opera- 
Comique),  and  'Beatrice'  (1914,  Monte  Carlo).

METROPOLITAN  CONSERVATORY  OF 
MUSIC,  THE,  of  New  York,  was  established 
in  1886  by  Charles  B.  Hawley  and  Herbert  W. 
Greene,  at  first  chiefly  as  a  school  of  singing. 
Its  scope  was  soon  broadened,  and  in  1891  it 
was  incorporated  under  the  Board  of  Regents 
as  the  Metropolitan  College  of  Music.  Its 
faculty  included  S.  P.  Warren,  H.  R.  Shelley, 
A.  R.  Parsons  and  others  of  high  standing.  In 
1900  it  was  reorganized  as  the  American  Insti- 
tute of  Applied  Music. 

METROPOLITAN  OPERA  HOUSE,  THE, 
in  New  York.  See  Vol.  iii.  469-71.  Conried's 
administration  continued  till  February,  1908, 
when,  after  months  of  ill-health,  he  resigned. 
He  was  succeeded  by  Giulio  Gatti-Casazza, 
who  for  ten  years  had  been  manager  of  La 
Scala  in  Milan,  and  his  efficient,  intelligent  and 
on  the  whole  sufficiently  enterprising  adminis- 
tration has  continued  ever  since  —  the  longest 
and  most  successful  in  the  history  of  the  institu- 
tion. With  him  for  two  years  was  associated 
Andreas  Dippel,  who  in  1910  joined  the  Phila- 
delphia-Chicago Company. 

In  1906-10  occurred  the  exciting  competition 
between  the  Metropolitan  and  the  Manhattan 
Opera  Houses,  which  served  to  arouse  much 
public  attention  and  to  stimulate  managerial 
ambition  on  both  sides.  The  directors  of  the 
Metropolitan  finally  bought  off  Hammerstein's 
interest  and  bound  him  not  to  produce  grand 
opera  in  New  York  for  ten  years.  In  1910 
they  fostered  the  formation  of  the  Boston 
Opera  Company  and  from  that  time  extended 
their  activities  to  Philadelphia  and  Baltimore. 
But  in  1910  was  also  formed  the  Philadelphia- 


Chicago  Grand  Opera  Company,  which  in  the 
end  came  to  be  a  strong  rival,  though  not  at 
once  active  in  the  New  York  field.  Mean- 
while in  New  York  the  Metropolitan  promoted 
a  new  enterprise  in  1909—11  at  the  New  Theater 
for  the  production  of  works  better  suited  to  a 
smaller  house.  A  similar  secondary  effort  was 
made  in  1913-15  in  the  Century  Opera  Com- 
pany. 

The  outbreak  of  the  World  War  in  1914 
affected  the  Metropolitan  in  two  ways.  Large 
numbers  of  artists  became  available  through 
temporary  or  permanent  migration  from  Eu- 
rope. And  ultimately  the  entry  of  the  United 
States  into  the  contest  led  to  the  ejection  of 
many  German  singers  from  the  personnel  and 
the  removal  of  German  works  from  the  reper- 
tory. The  general  consequence  was  to  alter 
the  balance  of  performances  in  favor  of 
French,  Italian  and  other  works.  But  the 
war  did  not  interfere  seriously  with  the 
continuity  or  significance  of  the  successive 
seasons.  8

MIDDELSCHULTE,  WILHELM  (Apr.  3, 
1863,  Werne,  Germany),  was  trained  at  the 
Institute  for  Church  Music  in  Berlin  under 
Haupt,  Loeschhorn,  Alsleben,  Commer  and 
Schroder,  and  in  1888-91  was  organist  at  the 
Lukas-Kirche.  In  1891  he  came  to  Chicago 
as  organist  at  the  Cathedral  of  the  Holy  Name, 
remaining  four  years.  At  this  time  he  studied 
theory  with  Ziehn.  In  1894-1918  he  was  or- 
ganist of  the  Thomas  (Chicago)  Orchestra. 
In  1899-1919  he  was  organist  at  St.  James' 
(R.  C.),  and  also  teacher  of  organ  and  theory 
in  the  Wisconsin  Conservatory  in  Milwaukee. 
With  the  Chicago  Orchestra  under  Thomas  or 
Stock  he  has  played  works  like  the  Handel 
Concertos  in  G  and  F,  the  Rheinberger  Con- 
certos in  F  and  G  minor,  the  Guilmant  Con- 
certo in  D  minor,  Klose's  Fantasia  and  Double 
Fugue,  and  Borowski's  'Allegro  de  Concert,' 
besides,  for  the  first  time  in  America,  the  Liszt- 
Kaun  Fantasia  and  Fugue  on  'Ad  nos  ad  salu- 
tarem  undam,'  Oldberg's  Concerto  in  F,  Widor's 


Symphonia  Sacra  and  'Salvam  fac  populum 
tuum,'  the  Bach-Busoni '  Fantasia  Contrappun- 
tistica'  (dedicated  to  him  and  arranged  by 
him  and  Stock),  his  own  Concerto  in  A  minor 
and  arrangement  of  Bach's  Chaconne.  These 
performances,  with  numerous  recitals  in 
America  and  Europe,  give  him  high  rank 
among  living  organists.  He  has  published  a 
Passacaglia  in  D  minor,  Canons  and  Fugue 
on  'Vater  unser,'  Toccata  on  'Ein  feste  Burg,' 
Concerto  in  A  minor,  Meditation  on  'Alle 
Menschen  mussen  sterben,'  Canonical  Fantasia 
on  B-A-C-H  and  a  cadenza  to  Handel's  4th 
Concerto,  besides  transcriptions  of  the  Bach 
Chaconne,  the  Bach-Busoni  Fantasia  and 
parts  of  Wolf-Ferrari's  'I  Giojelli  della  Ma- 
donna.' Unpublished  are  a  Chaconne  in  E 
minor,  arrangements  of  Bach's  Chromatic 
Fantasia  and  Fugue  and  of  the  '  Musikalisches 
Opfer,'  etc.  [  R.8  ]

MINNEAPOLIS  SYMPHONY  ORCHES- 
TRA, THE,  dates  from  1903,  when  the  Phil-

manent orchestra.  Emil  Oberhoffer,  the  leader 
of  the  Club,  became  the  conductor  of  the  new 
organization  and  has  remained  its  efficient 
head  ever  since.  The  financial  affairs  have 
been  ably  managed,  stability  being  secured 
by  a  guarantee-fund,  now  of  $75,000  annually, 
pledged  in  five-year  periods.  In  1904  a  beau- 
tiful Auditorium  was  provided  by  the  North-

were  given  annually,  for  the  next  eight  150  and 
since  then  about  175,  making  a  total  of  over 
2300.  In  Minneapolis  the  regular  series  in- 
cludes 40,  with  12  in  St.  Paul ;  the  remainder

MORGAN,  GEORGE  WASHBOURNE 
(Apr.  9,  1822,  Gloucester,  England  :  July, 
1892,  Tacoma,  Wash.),  was  an  articled  pupil 
of  Amott  (organist  of  Gloucester  Cathedral) 
and  began  playing  regularly  at  twelve,  first  in 
Gloucester  and  then  in  London,  where  he  also 
appeared  in  concert.  About  1845  he  became 
leader  of  the  Philharmonic  Society  in  Glouces- 
ter, in  which  he  had  sung  as  a  boy,  and  was 
a  competitor  for  the  post  of  organist  at  Worces- 
ter Cathedral.  Coming  to  New  York  in  1853, 
he  was  organist  at  St.  Thomas'  in  1854-55, 
Grace  Church  in  1855-68,  St.  Ann's  (R.  C.) 
in  1868-69,  St.  Stephen's  (R.  C.)  in  1869-70, 
Brooklyn  Tabernacle  (Talmadge's)  in  1870-82

Dutch)  Church  in  1886-88.  He  gave  a  recital 
in  Boston  in  1859  and  was  the  first  player  on 
the  organ  in  Music  Hall  in  1863.  He  also 
played  at  the  Centennial  Exposition  in  Phila- 
delphia in  1876.  His  brilliance  as  a  performer 
made  him  popular,  so  that  he  did  much  to 
arouse  enthusiasm  for  organ-music.  He  wrote

MORSE,  CHARLES  HENRY  (Jan.  5, 
1853,  Bradford  Mass.),  graduated  in  1870 
from  the  Haverhill  (Mass.)  High  School  and 
in  1873  from  the  New  England  Conservatory 
in  Boston,  studying  piano  with  J.  C.  D.  Parker, 
Perabo  and  Baermann,  organ  with  Whiting 
and  Paine,  theory  with  Emery  and  conducting 
with  Zerrahn.  He  at  once  began  teaching 
piano  and  organ  in  the  Conservatory,  but  con- 
tinued study  at  Boston  University,  where  in 
1876  he  won  probably  the  first  Mus.B.  given 
in  the  United  States.  Meanwhile  he  was 
organist  at  Tremont  Temple,  the  Union  and 
the  Central  Congregational  Churches.  In 
1875-84  he  was  the  first  music-director  at 
Wellesley  College.  In  1885-91  he  was  founder 
and  director  of  the  Northwestern  Conservatory 
at  Minneapolis,  following  the  lines  of  the  New 
England  Conservatory  and  gaining  immediate 
success,  and  was  also  organist  in  St.  Paul  and 
Minneapolis.  In  1891-99  he  was  organist  at 
Plymouth  Church  in  Brooklyn  and  active  in 
the  Brooklyn  Institute  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 
From  1901  he  was  the  first  professor  of  music 
at  Dartmouth  College,  becoming  emeritus  in 
1918.  He  has  been  a  trustee  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Conservatory,  in  1894-96  was  president 
of  the  New  York  Music  Teachers'  Association, 
in  1896  a  founder  of  the  A.  G.  O.  and  member  of 
its  council,  etc.  He  was  one  of  the  first  to 
play  Guilmant's  works  and  to  produce  choral 
works  of  Gounod  in  the  United  States.  He 
has  edited  The  Contemporary  Organist  (Schir- 
mer),  two  volumes  of  The  Church-Organist  and 
The  Junior  Church-Organist  (White-Smith), 
March- Album  for  Organ  (Schirmer),  Short  and

1893  (with  Lyman  Abbott) ,  Songs  for  the  Chapel 
(men's  voices),  The  Wellesley  Collection 
(women's  voices)  and  many  separate  vocal  and 
organ-arrangements,  besides  publishing  an-

MOSENTHAL,  JOSEPH  (Nov.  30,  1834, 
Kassel,  Germany  :  Jan.  6, 1896,  New  York) , 
was  trained  by  his  father,  Spohr,  Bott,  Kraus- 
haar  and  others,  and  for  four  years  played 
second  violin  under  Spohr.  In  1853  he  mi- 
grated to  New  York,  where  in  1855-68  he  was 
a  member  of  the  Mason-Thomas  Quintet  and 
in  1860-87  organist  of  Calvary  Church,  besides 
being  forty  years  among  the  first  violins  of  the 


Philharmonic  Society.  From  1867  he  was  also 
leader  of  the  Mendelssohn  Glee  Club,  his  life 
closing  nearly  thirty  years  later  at  a  rehearsal. 
He  wrote  anthems,  sacred  songs,  many  fine 
part-songs  for  men's  voices,  such  as  '  Thana- 
topsis,'  'Blest  Pair  of  Sirens,'  'The  Music 
of  the  Sea,'  and  numerous  secular  songs.

Austria  :  July  2,  1911,  Munich,  Germany). 
See  article  in  Vol.  iii.  277-8.  While  at  Karls- 
ruhe he  gave  the  first  complete  rendering  of 
Berlioz'  'LesTroyens'  (1890),  and  the  dates 
of  the  production  of  'Fiirst  und  Sanger,'  the 
string-quartet  in  F-sharp  minor  and  'Pan  im 
Busch'  are  1893,  '98  and  1900  respectively. 
While  in  New  York  in  1903-04  he  conducted 
various  Wagnerian  operas  and  an  orchestral 
concert,  but  did  not  actually  conduct  'Parsi- 
fal' (though  he  directed  rehearsals)  because 
of  the  opposition  of  the  Wagner  family.  Be- 
sides his  extraordinary  power  as  conductor  he 
was  extremely  able  as  editor.  His  second 
revised  version  of  Cornelius'  'Der  Barbier  von 
Bagdad'  has  become  standard.  He  edited 
all  the  early  overtures  of  Wagner  and  published 
a  complete  edition  of  his  stage-works  (1914). 
He  was  twice  married,  both  times  to  opera- 
singers.

MOZART  CLUB,  THE,  of  Pittsburgh,  was 
organized  in  1878  and  incorporated  in  1886. 
Its  only  conductor  for  forty  years  was  James 
P.  McCollum.  Gradually  expanding  from 
a  small  circle  of  singers  to  a  large  chorus,  and 
from  1886  giving  programs  only  with  orchestra 
or  a  cappella,  the  Club  covered  a  large  reper- 
toire, including  the  larger  sacred  and  secular 
works  and  a  variety  of  lesser  cantatas,  etc., 
the  orchestras  assisting  including  those  of 
Pittsburgh,  Boston,  Chicago  and  St.  Paul. 
Almost  all  the  leading  soloists  of  the  country 
appeared  with  it.  The  Club  also  pursued 
the  policy  of  developing  soloists  within  its 
own  ranks  or  from  Pittsburgh.  Its  work  was 
greatly  aided  by  the  financial  support  of  many 
public-spirited  citizens. 

MUCK,  KARL  (Oct.  22,  1859,  Darmstadt, 
Germany).  See  article  in  Vol.  iii.  314-5.  His 
first  term  as  conductor  of  the  Boston  Sym- 
phony Orchestra  in  1906-08  was  on  leave  of 
absence  from  Berlin,  and  on  his  return  thither 
he  was  made  General-Musikdirector.  In  1912 
he  resigned  to  conduct  the  Boston  Orchestra 
permanently,  made  a  profound  impression  for 
several  years,  but  in  March,  1918,  was  arrested 
as  an  enemy  alien,  interned  for  more  than  a 
year  and  excluded  from  the  country  in  August, 
1919.  [  R.9  ]

MUKLE,  MAY  HENRIETTA  (May  14, 
1880,  London,  England) ,  made  her  first  appear- 
ance as  'cellist  at  nine  and  at  seventeen  gave  a 
recital  in  London.  She  studied  there  with 
Hambleton  and  later  with  Pezze  at  the  Royal 
Academy  of  Music.  As  soloist  or  in  chamber- 
music  groups  she  has  toured  Europe,  America 
(several  times),  Australia  (1903),  South  Africa 
(1905),  Canada  (twice),  and  in  1918  played 
in  the  first  chamber-music  recitals  in  Honolulu. 
In  1908  she  traveled  with  the  Maud  Powell  Trio, 
in  which  her  sister,  Anne  Mukle,  was  pianist. 
She  has  also  appeared  often  with  symphony 
orchestras  in  Europe  and  America.  'The 
Hamadryad'  and  'The  Light  Wind,'  two  fan- 
cies for  'cello  and  piano,  are  her  only  published 
works,  but  she  has  songs  and  small  pieces  for 
different  instruments  in  manuscript.  [  R.9  ] 
MULLER,  CARL  CHRISTIAN  (July  3, 
1831,  Saxe-Meiningen,  Germany  :  June  4, 
1914,  New  York),  having  been  taught  piano 
by  F.  W.  and  Heinrich  Pfeifer,  harmony  by 
Zollner  and  organ  by  Butzert,  came  to  New 
York  in  1854.  For  a  time  he  worked  in  a  piano- 
factory,  then  entered  the  orchestra  at  Barnum's 
Museum  and  presently  became  its  leader.  In 
1879-95  he  taught  harmony  at  the  New  York 
College  of  Music,  and  later  was  associated 
with  the  Grand  Conservatory,  the  New  York 
Conservatory  and  other  schools.  He  published 
three  organ-sonatas,  a  string-quartet,  a  sonata 
for  violin  and  piano,  choruses,  and  many  pieces 
for  piano  and  organ,  and  left  also  a  symphony, 
an  orchestral  suite,  an  overture,  an  '  Idyl '  for 
orchestra,  a  setting  of  Schiller's  '  Die  Kraniche 
des  Ibicus'  for  soli,  chorus  and  orchestra,  and 
a  'Romanza'  for  horn,  harp  and  orchestra- 
He  translated  Sechter's  Grundsatze  der  musik- 
alischen  Composition  as  Fundamental  Harmony, 
1871  (9  later  eds.),  and  added  tables  for  pri- 
mary instruction,  modulation,  chord-succession 
and  harmonization.  [  R.4  ]

MURATORE,  LUCIEN  (1878,  Marseilles, 
France),  graduated  in  1897  with  a  first  prize 
from  the  Marseilles  Conservatory,  having 
studied  bassoon  as  well  as  singing.  He  first 
appeared  as  an  actor  with  Rejane  and  also 
Bernhardt.  After  three  years  in  the  army  he 
prepared  for  lyric  opera  at  the  Paris  Conserva- 
tory and  made  his  debut  at  the  Opera-Comique 
in  1902,  creating  the  tenor-r61e  in  Hahn's  'La 
Carmelite'  and  also  in  1903  that  in  Missa's 
'La  Muguette.'  In  1905  he  appeared  at  the 
Grand-Opera  as  Rinaldo  in  'Armide.'  At  the 
Opera  he  created  roles  in  Massenet's  'Ariane' 
I  (1906),  'Bacchus'  (1909)  and  'Roma'  (1912), 
I  Fevrier's  '  Monna  Vanna '  (1909)  and  Hue's  '  Le 
1  Miracle'  (1910) ;  also  at  the  first  giving  in 


that  place  of  Strauss'  'Salome'  (1910),  Gior- 
dano's 'Siberia'  (1911)  and  Saint-Saens'  'De- 
janire'  (1911).  In  1913  he  came  to  America 
to  join  the  Chicago  Opera  Company,  with 
which  he  is  still  connected,  though  he  returned 
to  France  for  military  duty  in  1915.  He  mar- 
ried the  soprano  Lina  Cavalieri  in  1913.  Dur- 
ing the  summer  of  1917  he  was  engaged  at  the 
Teatro  Colon  in  Buenos  Aires.  [  R.10  ] 

'MUSIC.'  A  monthly  magazine  founded 
by  W.  S.  B.  Mathews  in  1891  at  Chicago.  He 
continued  editor  till  December,  1902,  after 
which  the  magazine  was  merged  in  'The  Phil- 
harmonic.' Although  put  together  somewhat 
hastily  and  varying  considerably  in  quality, 
this  was  the  only  journal  devoted  wholly  or 
mainly  to  contributed  articles  until  the  appear- 
ance of  'The  Musical  Quarterly'  in  1915. 
Many  of  its  essays  and  studies  were  decidedly 
able.  And  it  served  to  call  attention  to  the 
dignity  of  the  literary  and  scholarly  treatment 
of  musical  subjects.  See  note  in  Vol.  iii.  688. 

MUSIC  HALL.  A  building  erected  in  Bos- 
ton in  1852  to  provide  a  suitable  place  for  large 
choral  and  orchestral  concerts.  With  a  seat- 
ing capacity  of  about  3000  and  its  central  loca- 
tion (off  Tremont  and  Winter  Streets),  it  im- 
mediately became  a  notable  headquarters  for 
good  music.  In  1863,  after  vexatious  delays 
and  unexpected  expenses,  a  concert-organ, 
made  by  Walcker  of  Ludwigsburg,  Wiirtem- 
berg,  was  introduced,  being  the  first  really 
large  instrument  in  the  United  States.  The 
organ  was  dedicated  on  Nov.  2,  1863,  the  per- 
formers being  Lang,  G.  W.  Morgan,  Paine, 
Thayer,  Tuckerman  and  Willcox  —  an  extra- 
ordinary list  for  the  time.  For  twenty  years 
recitals  were  steadily  given  both  by  permanent 
organists  and  by  visitors.  In  1884  the  organ 
was  bought  for  the  New  England  Conservatory, 
but  proved  unwieldy  there  and  was  finally 
broken  up  in  1897.  Its  advent  was  of  great 
importance  for  American  organ-building, 
since  its  tone-qualities  were  excellent  and  varied, 
though  its  action  was  sluggish  and  its  construc- 
tion in  many  respects  clumsy.  For  a  cut  of 
the  organ,  see  Elson,  History  of  American 
Music,  p.  262. 

'MUSIC  NEWS.'  A  weekly  periodical 
founded  in  1908  by  Charles  E.  Watt  in  Chicago 
and  since  edited  and  published  by  him. 

MUSIC  SCHOOL  SETTLEMENTS  are 
music-schools  planted  in  the  poorer  neighbor-

pecially among  the  foreign  population.  They 
have  been  notably  successful  in  New  York, 
Boston,  Philadelphia  and  several  cities  in  the 
West,  becoming  centers  of  culture  and  often 
developing  singers  and  players  of  ability.  The 
New  York  School  was  started  in  1894  and  owes 
its  conspicuous  expansion  mainly  to  its  later

directors  —  Thomas  Tapper  in  1907-09,  David 
Mannes  in  1910-15  and  Arthur  Farwell  since 
1915.  The  number  of  pupils  is  about  1000 
annually,  and  there  are  about  80  instructors. 
A  notable  feature  is  the  maintenance  of  four 
orchestras,  aggregating  about  200  players. 
Besides  owning  many  instruments,  this  school 
has  an  extensive  library. 

MUSIC  SUPERVISORS'  NATIONAL 
CONFERENCE,  THE,  was  organized  in  1907 
to  promote  discussion  and  cooperation  among 
those  engaged  in  progressive  musical  work  in 
public  schools,  especially  supervisors.  Its 
growth  was  rapid  and  it  has  become  one  of  the 
notable  influences  in  raising  the  standard  of 
equipment  among  public-school  teachers  of 
music,  in  securing  proper  recognition  for  their 
work  in  general,  in  defining  methods  of  credit 
for  music-study  both  within  and  without  the 
school-curriculum,  in  improving  the  connection 
between  school  and  college  work  in  music,  in 
advancing  the  study  of  instruments  and  the 
formation  of  orchestras  as  well  as  singing  and 
in  promoting  interest  in  community-music. 
The  present  number  of  members  is  about  1500. 
The  annual  meeting  is  held  in  the  spring,  and 
the  proceedings  are  published.  The  president 
for  1920  is  Hollis  E.  Dann,  of  Cornell  Univer- 
sity, and  the  secretary,  Elizabeth  Pratt,  St. 
Louis,  Mo. 

MUSIC  TEACHERS'  NATIONAL  ASSO- 
CIATION, THE,  was  organized  in  1876  at 
Delaware,  O.,  by  Theodore  Presser  and  a  small 
circle  of  earnest  teachers  in  Ohio  and  neighbor- 
ing states.  With  rare  exceptions  it  has  held  an- 
nual meetings,  with  three  days'  sessions,  that 
of  1919  being  counted  the  forty-first.1  Its  origi- 
nal purpose  was  '  mutual  improvement  by  inter- 
change of  ideas,  to  broaden  the  culture  of  music, 
and  to  cultivate  fraternal  feeling.'  At  present 
this  is  defined  as  '  the  advancement  of  musical 
knowledge  and  education.'  The  founders, 
most  of  whom  were  connected  with  'Normal 
Institutes'  (teachers'  summer-schools),  had 
specially  in  mind  the  needs  of  scattered  private 
teachers,  and  emphasized  social  contact,  discus- 
sion of  practical  problems  and  the  elevation  of 
popular  conceptions  regarding  musical  work. 
The  size  of  the  Association  and  its  geographical 
range  have  varied  greatly.  Altogether,  its  mem- 
bership has  probably  included  over  10,000  per-

sons,  the  average  per  year  being  now  about  400. 
It  has  regularly  aimed  to  publish  each  year  an 
Annual  Report  in  some  form.  These  volumes, 
though  varying  much  in  character,  are  invalu- 
able records  of  the  progress  of  ideas.1  The  presi- 
dents have  been  Eben  Tourjee  (1876),  James  A. 
Butterfield  (1878),  Rudolf  de  Roode  (1879), 
Fenelon  B.  Rice  (1880-81),  Arthur  Mees  (1882),

Stewart  (1895),  Ernest  R.  Kroeger  (1896), 
Herbert  W.  Greene  (1897-98),  Arnold  J.  Gant- 
voort  (1899-1900),  Arthur  L.  Manchester 
(1901-02),  Rossetter  G.  Cole  (1903,  1909-10), 
Waldo  S.  Pratt  (1906-08),  Peter  C.  Lutkin 
(1911,  1920),  George  C.  Gow  (1912),  Charles 
H.  Farnsworth  (1913-14),  J.  Lawrence  Erb 
(1915-17),  Charles  N.  Boyd  (1918-19).  Of 
the  many  secretaries,  H.  S.  Perkins  was  longest 
in  office  (1888-98),  and  notably  efficient.  Be- 
sides other  general  officers,  for  long  periods 
there  have  been  extensive  lists  of  State  vice- 
presidents.  The  Association  was  incorporated 
in  1887  under  the  laws  of  Indiana.  Its  con- 
stitution has  been  remodeled  at  intervals,  the 
present  form  being  that  adopted  in  1906. 

The  emphasis  of  the  Association's  discussions 
and  effort  has  always  been  upon  the  problems 
and  details  of  practical  music-teaching,  in- 
cluding raising  the  level  of  teachers  and  sug- 
gesting improved  methods  of  teaching.  Much 
attention  has  been  given  to  questions  about 
music  in  the  public  schools,  in  colleges  and 
universities,  and  in  community  welfare.  Every 
aspect  of  genuine  musicianship  in  its  practical 
applications  has  been  somewhat  considered. 
For  many  years,  also,  special  effort  was  made  to 
improve  the  recognition  of  American  com- 
position, including  many  recitals  of  American 
works  and  even  the  offering  of  prizes  for  such 
works.  Through  permanent  committees  on 
various  subjects  considerable  general  influence 
has  been  exerted. 

The  Association  early  advocated  interna- 
tional copyright  for  music,  and  also  the  adop- 
tion of  'international'  pitch.  It  fostered  the 
formation  of  a  large  number  of  State  Associa- 
tions, and  has  been  cordial  in  relation  to  many 
other  associations,  even  when  they  tended  to 
deplete  its  own  ranks.  In  1883  it  was  directly 

1  No  Reports  apparently  in  1877,  1879,  1891,  1893 
(see  1894),  1898,  1905  (see  1906).  From  1900  to  1905 
the  Association  issued  a  periodical,  The  Messenger 
(quarterly,  then  bimonthly),  ably  edited  by  Arthur 
L.  Manchester,  which  contained  much  more  than 
the  records  of  meetings.  Since  1906  the  Proceedings, 
under  the  title  of  Studies  in  Musical  Education, 
History  and  ^Esthetics,  have  been  issued  in  handsome 
bound  form  (index  to  first  ten  volumes  in  1915). 
It  is  unfortunate  that  complete  files  of  the  publica- 
tions before  1900  are  extremely  rare.

College  of  Musicians  —  the'forerunner  of  several 
later  efforts  at  'standardization'  — which,  in 
spite  of  an  excellent  purpose  and  plan,  did  not 
have  permanence.  Various  other  enterprises 
might  be  named  which  expressed  the  practical 
energy  that  has  usually  characterized  the  Asso- 
ciation's policy.1 

MUSICAL  ALLIANCE  OF  AMERICA, 
THE,  was  started  in  1917  by  John  C.  Freund 
of  New  York.  Its  special  purposes  are  to 
advance  the  recognition  of  music  as  vital  to 
national,  civic  and  domestic  life,  to  extend  the 
study  of  music  in  the  public  schools,  to  magnify 
the  importance  of  music  by  American  com- 
posers and  especially  to  urge  the  establishment 
of  a  National  Conservatory.  The  movement 
has  secured  the  interest  of  a  large  number  of 
musicians  of  every  class. 

'  MUSICAL  AMERICA, '  of  New  York.  A 
weekly  periodical  established  by  John  C. 
Freund  in  1898  and  since  edited  by  him.  After 
a  break  in  publication,  since  1905  it  has  been 
conducted  on  an  enlarged  scale  as  a  record  of 
manifold  professional  activities.

MUSICAL  FUND  HALL.  A  music-hall 
erected  in  1824  for  the  Musical  Fund  Society 
of  Philadelphia  (see  below)  and  used  for  its 
concerts  and  many  others  for  more  than  thirty 
years.  Its  original  plan  was  made  by  William 
Strickland  and  acoustically  it  was  very  suc- 
cessful. It  was  also  so  arranged  as  to  be  self- 
supporting  from  the  rental  of  offices  and 
studios.  In  1847  it  was  elongated  and  re- 
arranged, so  as  to  accommodate  1500.  See  cut 
and  notes  in  Madeira,  Annals  of  Music  in 
Philadelphia. 

MUSICAL  FUND  SOCIETY,  THE,  of 
Boston,  was  formed  in  1847  by  Thomas  Comer 
on  the  lines  of  the  Philadelphia  Society,  but 
only  for  orchestral  concerts.  It  never  reached 
a  high  plane  of  excellence  in  programs  or  per- 
formance, though  improved  in  later  years 
under  G.  J.  Webb  as  conductor,  and  was  dis- 
continued in  1855. 

MUSICAL  FUND  SOCIETY,  THE,  of 
New  York,  was,  like  the  Boston  Society,  in- 

1  The  detailed  history  of  the  Association  is  to  be 
followed  in  its  annual  Reports  or  Proceedings.  In 
1893  H.  S.  Perkins  issued  a  Historical  Handbook, 
which  is  at  least  singular  in  style,  and  similar  retro- 
spects are  found  in  the  Reports  for  1888  and  1893 
ftnd  in  the  Proceedings  for  1908,  1909,  1911  and  19J4. 


tended  to  provide  orchestral  concerts.  It  was 
formed  about  1828  and  continued  till  after 
1840,  forming  a  bridge  between  the  old  and 
the  new  Philharmonic  Societies. 

MUSICAL  FUND  SOCIETY,  THE,  of 
Philadelphia,  was  founded  in  1820  by  a  group 
of  professional  and  amateur  musicians  who 
had  met  informally  for  several  years  to  prac- 
tice chamber-music.  Leading  spirits  in  the 
enterprise  were  Taylor,  Carr,  Hupfeld,  Gilles, 
Cross  and  Schetky.  The  name  arose  from  the 
fact  that  one  of  the  objects  was  to  establish 
a  fund  for  the  relief  of  needy  musicians.  The 
other  was  to  give  concerts  of  a  high  class,  choral 
and  orchestral.  The  first  concert  was  given 
on  Apr.  24,  1821.  In  1824  Musical  Fund  Hall 
was  built  (see  above).  In  1825  an  Academy  of 
Fine  Arts  was  projected,  somewhat  in  connec- 
tion with  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  but 
this  educational  effort  ceased  in  1832.  The 
Society  continued  for  almost  forty  years,  serv- 
ing as  a  center  for  the  best  musical  interests  of 
the  city.  In  1858  it  was  given  up.  Besides 
a  goodly  list  of  oratorios,  symphonies  and  over- 
tures, it  introduced  many  eminent  soloists, 
either  in  its  regular  concerts  or  under  its  patron- 
age, such  as  Malibran,  Ole  Bull,  Vieuxtemps, 
Herz,  Jenny  Lind  and  Sontag.  See  Madeira, 
Annals  of  Music  in  Philadelphia  and  History 
of  the  Musical  Fund  Society,  1896  (edited  by 
P.  H.  Goepp).  On  May  4,  1920,  a  musical 
masque  representing  a  'Jenny  Lind  Concert 
in  1850'  was  given  to  commemorate  the  cen- 
tenary of  the  Society.

•MUSICAL  QUARTERLY,  THE,'  issued 
since  1915  by  G.  Schirmer,  New  York  City, 
was  the  fruit  of  a  long-standing  desire  on  the 
part  of  Rudolph  E.  Schirmer  to  establish  a 
musical  periodical  in  English  of  the  highest 
quality  and  of  cosmopolitan  scope.  Its  notable 
success  from  the  start  was  insured  by  securing 
O.  G.  Sonneck  (then  of  the  Library  of  Con- 
gress) as  editor.  His  energy,  knowledge,  tact 
and  skill,  with  the  disinterested  liberality  of 
the  publishers,  have  combined  to  make  the 
magazine  uniquely  significant-  Thes  dominant

purpose  has  been  to  stimulate  the  literary  treat- 
ment of  musical  topics,  historical,  critical  and 
practical.  The  original  plan  was  to  draw  from 
foreign  writers  as  freely  as  from  American. 
The  outbreak  of  the  World  War  just  before 
issues  began  naturally  interfered  with  this 
somewhat,  although  the  150  articles  in  the 
first  four  volumes  were  about  equally  divided 
between  Europe  and  America.  All  articles 
are  in  English,  and  some  are  accompanied  by 
excellent  illustrations.

a  performance  of  extracts  from  Handel's  works 
in  January,  1786,  which  seems  to  have  stimu- 
lated similar  efforts  elsewhere.  See  Sonneck, 
Concert-Life,  pp.  275-82. 

•MUSICIAN,  THE.'  See  article  in  Vol. 
iii.  688-9.  Mr.  Tapper  ceased  to  be  editor 
in  1907  and  was  succeeded  by  W.  J.  Baltzell, 
who  continued  till  1918,  when  the  magazine 
passed  from  the  Ditson  Company  to  the 
Henderson  Publications,  Inc.,  New  York. 

MUSIKVEREIN,  DER,  of  Milwaukee, 
was  founded  in  1847,  giving  its  first  concert 
in  May,  1850.  Its  conductor  till  1860  was 
Hans  Balatka.  Combining  choral  and  orches- 
tral efforts  and  being  supported  by  a  large  Ger- 
man constituency,  it  stands  out  as  one  of  the 
leading  early  factors  in  the  development  of 
musical  interest  in  the  Interior.  For  list  of 
works  performed  up  to  1880,  see  Ritter,  Music 
in  America,  chap.  xxi.  The  present  conductor 
is  Hermann  A.  Zeitz. 

MUSIN,  OVIDE  (Sept.  22,  1854,  Nandrin, 
Belgium).  See  article  in  Vol.  iii.  342.  His 
first  American  appearance  was  in  1883  with 
the  New  York  Symphony  Society  under  Leo- 
pold Damrosch.  With  the  Philharmonic  So- 
ciety under  Thomas  he  played  the  Godard  con- 
certo for  the  first  time  in  America.  Form- 
ing his  own  concert-troupe,  he  made  many 
tours  in  the  United  States,  in  1892  journeyed 
to  Australia,  New  Zealand  and  Mexico,  and  in 
1896  visited  Japan,  China  and  Manila.  In 
1908  he  established  a  violin-school  in  New  York. 
His  decorations  are  many  —  Officier  de  1'Ordre 
de  Leopold  in  Belgium,  Commandeur  de  1'Ordre 
du  Nisham  Iftikar  and  Officier  de  1'Academie 
in  France,  member  of  the  Ordre  du  Merite  in 
Holland,  Officier  de  1'Ordre  de  Bolivar  in 
Venezuela,  etc.  His  violin-works  (with  or- 


chestra or  piano)  include  two  Caprices,  Valse 
de  Concert,  Mazurka  de  Concert,  'Extase,' 
Valse  Lente,  Berceuse,  'Mazurka  Elegante' 
and  'Lullaby  and  Prayer.'  He  has  made  nu- 
merous transcriptions,  as  of  Bach's  Chaconne, 
Viotti's  22nd  Concerto,  Handel's  Sonata  in  A, 
Tartini's  'Trillo  del  Diavolo'  and  Variations 
on  a  Corelli  Gavotte  (all  Carl  Fischer)  ;  a 
Prelude  by  Campagnoli,  Pergolese's  'Canzonet 
Napolitaine,'  Paganini's  Romance  in  B  minor, 
Radoux'  'Words  from  the  Heart,'  and  many 
others  in  his  own  Repertoire  du  Virtuose.  He 
has  combined  his  own  studies  with  those  of 
Leonard  in  The  Belgian  School  of  the  Violin, 
4  vols.,  1916,  besides  issuing  many  separate 
exercises  and  studies.  His  wife,  nee  Annie 
Louise  Hodges  (b.  1856,  Oshkosh,  Wis.),  is 
an  accomplished  soprano  and  has  joined  him 
in  his  many  concert-tours.  [  R.7  ]

NATIONAL  CONSERVATORY  OF  MU- 
SIC OF  AMERICA,  THE,  of  New  York  and 
Washington,  was  founded  in  1885  by  Mrs. 
Jeannette  M.  Thurber  and  holds  charters 
both  from  New  York  State  (1885)  and  from 
Congress  (1891),  as  to  this  latter  being  unique. 
Until  about  1915  tuition  was  free,  being  pro- 
vided by  funds  supplied  by  Mrs.  Thurber 
and  other  supporters.  The  average  number 
of  pupils  per  year  has  been  about  600.  It 
has  been  specially  successful  in  helping  students 
of  foreign  birth  and  certain  special  classes, 
like  the  blind  and  those  of  Negro  blood.  At 
first  vocal  music  was  emphasized,  with  much 
attention  to  solfeggio,  after  the  model  of  the 
Paris  Conservatory,  but  all  instrumental 
and  theoretical  branches  were  soon  added. 
The  list  of  distinguished  teachers  who  have 
served  for  a  longer  or  shorter  time  is  long  and 
imposing.  Among  the  general  directors  have 
been  Jacques  Bouhy  in  1885-89,  Antonin 
Dvorak  in  1892-95,  Emil  Paur  in  1899-1902 
and  Wassily  Safonov  in  1906-09,  and  on  the 
staff  have  been  names  like  Mme.  Fursch-Madi 
(1885-94),  B.  O.  Klein  (1887-92),  Adele 
Margulies  (since  188T),  Joseffy  (1888-96), 
Huneker  (1888-98),  Finck  (since  1888), 
S.  P.  Warren,  Victor  Herbert,  Anton  Seidl, 
Frank  Van  der  Stucken,  Leo  Schulz  (since 
1890),  Leopold  Lichtenberg  (since  1899), 
Max  Spicker  (1895-1912)  and  many  others. 
Humperdinck  was  invited  to  become  director 
in  1913  and  accepted,  but  was  not  released 
at  Berlin.  From  time  to  time  the  Con- 
servatory has  offered  prizes  for  composition 
—  among  the  winners  being  Henry  Schoene- 
feld  with  his  'Rural  Symphony'  (1892), 
Joshua  Phippen  of  Boston  with  a  piano- 
concerto,  F.  F.  Bullard  with  a  suite  for  strings, 
Horatio  Parker  with  his  cantata  '  The  Dream- 
King  and  his  Love,'  and  G.  W.  Chadwick  with 
a  symphony.  Marguerite  Merington  also 
took  a  prize  for  the  opera-libretto  'Daphne.' 


Special  attention  has  been  given  to  the  de- 
velopment of  the  Conservatory  orchestra  and 
its  operatic  classes.  It  was  while  director  that 
Dvorak  wrote  his  'New  World'  Symphony, 
the  title  being  suggested  by  Mrs.  Thurber. 

NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION  OF  OR- 
GANISTS, THE,  was  organized  in  1908  by 
Tali  Esen  Morgan  as  an  outgrowth  of  gather- 
ings promoted  by  him  at  Ocean  Grove,  N.  J. 
Its  first  seven  conventions  (till  1914)  were 
held  at  Ocean  Grove.  In  1915-17  they  were 
at  Springfield,  Mass.,  in  1918  at  Portland, 
Me.,  in  1919  at  Pittsburgh  and  in  1920  at 
New  York.  The  presidents  have  been  Will 
C.  Macfarlane  in  1908-09,  Mark  Andrews 
in  1909-10,  Homer  N.  Bartlett  in  1910-11, 
Clarence  Eddy  in  1911-12,  J.  Christopher 
Marks  in  1912-14,  Arthur  S.  Brook  in  1914- 
17,  Frederick  Schlieder  in  1917-20  and  now 
Henry  S.  Fry.  The  object  of  the  Association 
is  fraternal  rather  than  academic.  In  a 
variety  of  ways  it  has  served  to  arouse  en- 
thusiasm among  its  members  and  to  advance 
the  interests  of  organ-music  as  a  specialty. 
The  present  membership  is  over  1000.  Its 
official  organ  was  at  first '  The  Musical  World,' 
in  1915-19  'The  Console,'  which  was  wholly 
devoted  to  its  affairs  and  well  edited  by 
M.  M.  Hansford,  and  now  'The  Diapason.' 
Since  1912  the  secretary  has  been  Walter 
N.  Waters,  24  W.  60th  St.,  New  York. 

NATIONAL  EDUCATIONAL  ASSOCIA- 
TION, THE,  since  about  1880  has  regularly 
given  attention  to  questions  relating  to  music, 
especially  in  the  public  schools,  and  has  long 
maintained  a  Music  Section  for  this  purpose. 
Its  Annual  Proceedings  have  therefore  included 
a  large  number  of  important  papers  on  the  sub- 
ject. The  president  of  the  Section  for  1920  is 
W.  Otto  Miessner  of  the  Milwaukee  State 
Normal  School  and  the  secretary  Sarah  B. 
Callinan,  William  Penn  High  School,  Philadel- 
phia. 

NATIONAL  FEDERATION  OF  MUSI- 
CAL CLUBS,  THE,  was  founded  in  1898  by 
Mrs.  Theodore  Sutro  of  New  York.  It  has  now 
grown  to  vast  proportions,  knitting  together 
musicians  and  music-lovers  throughout  the 
country,  and  instigating  activity  of  various 
sorts,  from  the  development  of  the  small 
local  circle  to  the  holding  of  great  biennial 
assemblages  in  different  places.  Eleven  such 
conventions  have  been  held,  the  latest  in 
1919  at  Peterboro,  N.  H.,  in  connection  with 
the  MacDowell  Memorial  Colony  there. 
The  Federation  publishes  'The  Musical 
Monitor'  as  its  official  organ,  the  editor  being 
Mrs.  David  A.  Campbell.  The  president

secretary  Mrs.  John  F.  Lyons,  Fort  Worth, 
Tex.  The  entire  country  is  divided  into  dis- 
tricts, each  with  its  own  officers,  so  that  a 
large  amount  of  local  enthusiasm  is  stimulated. 
In  connection  with  its  biennial  gatherings, 
as  well  as  on  a  smaller  scale  in  other  ways, 
the  Association  aims  to  foster  musical  pro- 
duction by  offering  various  prizes,  often  of 
large  amount. 

NATIONAL  OPERA  COMPANY,  THE, 
was  the  name  adopted  by  the  American  Opera 
C  ompany  for  the  season  of  1 886-87 .  Theodore 
Thomas  continued  as  conductor,  assisted  by 
Gustav  Hinrichs  and  Arthur  Mees.  The 
most  notable  event  was  the  first  American 
rendering  of  Rubinstein's  'Nero'  (in  English) 
on  Mar.  14,  1887,  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House.  Masse's  'Galatea'  was  also  given  in 
Brooklyn  on  Dec.  30,  1886,  and  Delibes'  ballet 
'Coppelia'  at  the  Metropolitan  in  March. 
The  company  spent  most  of  its  time  on  tour, 
winding  up  disastrously  at  San  Francisco, 
though  with  two  or  three  performances  on 
the  way  back  to  New  York. 

'NATOMA.'  A  three-act  opera  by  Victor 
Herbert  on  a  text  by  Joseph  D.  Redding. 
It  was  foreshadowed  in  an  announcement 
by  Hammerstein  as  early  as  1907,  was  sub- 
mitted to  Gatti-Casazza  at  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House  and  partially  tested  in  rehearsal, 
and  was  finally  produced  by  the  Chicago- 
Philadelphia  Company  at  Philadelphia  on 
Feb.  25,  1911,  and  repeated  by  the  same 
Company  at  the  Metropolitan  on  Feb.  28. 
The  story  is  laid  in  Southern  California  during 
the  Spanish  domination  and  involves  some 
Indian  elements. 

'NEC-NATOMA.'  No.  12  of  the  'Grove- 
Plays'  of  the  San  Francisco  Bohemian  Club, 
produced  in  1914.  The  music  is  by  Uda 
Waldrpp  and  the  text  by  J.  Wilson  Shields, 
the  scene  being  long  ago  in  the  redwood  forest.

NEGRO  MUSIC.  See  article  in  Vol.  iii. 
359-62.  The  bibliography  is  open  to  con- 
siderable extension,  certainly  so  as  to  include 
Krehbiel,  Afro-American  Folk-Songs,  1914, 
Mrs.  Curtis-Burlin,  Negro  Songs,  2  vols., 
1918,  with  her  articles  in  'The  Musical 
Quarterly,'  January  and  October,  1919,  and 
the  summaries  in  The  Art  of  Music,  iv.  pp. 
284-311,  and  in  The  American  History  and 
Encyclopedia  of  Music,  volume  on  'American 
Music,'  pp.  47-70.  A  striking  article  on 
'Musical  Culture  in  Negro  Schools  and 
Colleges,'  by  Mrs.  Lydia  H.  Hamlin,  is  in 
the  M.  T.N.A.  Proceedings,  1916,  pp.  144-55. 
This  latter  calls  attention  to  the  way  in  which 
the  Negro's  innate  capacity  for  song  is  being 
turned  to  practical  account  in  present-day 


education.  Interesting  instances  of  strong 
artistic  development  among  colored  students 
in  music-schools  in  many  parts  of  the  country 
might  be  cited.  R.  Nathaniel  Dett,  music- 
director  at  Hampton  Institute,  has  notable 
distinction  as  composer  and  Harry  T.  Bur- 
leigh  has  made  a  mark  as  singer  and  song- 
writer. These  are  but  conspicuous  examples. 
In  1912  David  Mannes  started  in  New  York 
a  Music  School  Settlement  for  Colored  People. 
In  1919  began  the  issue  of  a  monthly  periodical 
in  Philadelphia,  'The  Master-Musician,'  de- 
voted to  the  interests  of  Negro  musicians. 

Analogous  to  what  was  noted  Binder  INDIAN 
Music  is  the  increasing  tendency  among 
American  composers  to  utilize  Negro  themes 
or  at  least  the  spirit  and  topics  of  Negro 
music.  Chad  wick  in  his  2nd  Symphony 
(1885)  was  perhaps  the  first  significant  ex- 
ample. Dvorak's  'New  World'  Symphony 
(1893)  doubtless  exerted  more  influence, 
especially  because  expressing  a  strong  con- 
viction on  the  composer's  part  as  to  the  value 
of  this  neglected  source.  Gilbert  early  began 
the  series  of  works  that  includes  the  'Negro 
Episode,'  the  ' Americanesque '  (1903),  the 
'Comedy-Overture'  (1911),  the  'Negro  Rhap- 
sody' (1913)  and  'The  Dance  in  Place  Congo' 
(1918).  Humiston's  'Southern  Fantasie' 
came  out  in  1906,  and  Powell's  'Sonata 
Virginianesque,'  his  suite  'In  the  South' 
and  various  lesser  works  were  not  much  later. 
Innumerable  cases  might  be  cited  of  the  use 
of  Negro  material  in  songs,  as  by  Farwell, 
Ayres,  Burleigh,  Cook  and  others,  besides 
the  composers  already  named. 

With  reference  to  the  extension  of  music- 
education  it  is  not  impossible  that  in  the  future 
the  various  colleges  for  Negroes  will  become 
able  to  magnify  technical  training  so  as  to 
produce  decided  results.  At  present  only 
two  or  three  of  these  colleges  emphasize  music, 
notably  Fisk  University  at  Nashville,  Hampton 
Institute  in  Virginia  and  Tuskegee  Institute 
in  Alabama.

NEUENDORFF,  ADOLF  (June  13,  1843, 
Hamburg,  Germany  :  Dec.  4,  1897,  New 
York),  came  to  New  York  when  a  boy  of 
twelve,  studied  violin  with  Weinlich  and 
Matzka  and  piano  with  Schilling,  at  sixteen 
began  playing  the  violin  at  the  Stadt  Theatre 
and  at  seventeen  appeared  as  pianist.  In 
1861  he  toured  Brazil  as  violinist,  on  his 
return  took  up  theory  with  Anschiitz  and  in 
1864  succeeded  him  as  conductor  of  German 
opera  in  Milwaukee.  In  1867-71  he  was 
music-director  of  the  new  Stadt  Theatre  in 
New  York,  where  he  gave  40  light  operas,

and  in  the  last  season,  with  a  troupe  specially 
brought  from  Europe,  a  long  list  of  German 
works,  including  the  first  American  produc- 
tion of  'Lohengrin'  (Apr.  15,  1871).  In  1872 
he  joined  Carl  Rosa  and  Wachtel  in  giving 
a  notable  season  of  Italian  opera  at  the 
Academy  of  Music,  and  for  two  years  managed 
the  Germania  Theatre.  In  1875  he  gave 
German  opera  at  the  Academy,  with  Wachtel 
again  and  Mme.  Pappenheim.  At  this  time 
he  was  also  leading  a  choral  society  and  serv- 
ing as  church-organist.  In  1876  he  con- 
ducted Beethoven  concerts  and  attended  the 
opening  of  Wagner's  opera-house  at  Bayreuth 
as  correspondent  of  the  '  Staats-Zeitung.' 
In  1877  he  led  the  Wagner  Festival  at  the 
Academy,  including  the  first  American  pre- 
sentation of  'Die  Walkiire'  (Apr.  3).  In 
1878  he  was  conductor  of  the  Philharmonic 
Society.  The  failure  of  the  Germania  Theatre 
in  1883  ruined  him  financially  and  he  moved 
to  Boston,  but  served  as  conductor  in  various 
connections,  such  as  in  1887-88  with  Josef 
Hofmann,  in  1889-91  with  the  Emma  Juch 
Company  and  in  1892  giving  English  opera 
in  New  York.  In  1893-95  he  was  in  Vienna, 
where  his  wife,  Mme.  Januschowsky,  was 
prima  donna  at  the  Opera.  From  1896  he 
was  music-director  at  Temple  Emanu-El  in 
New  York  and  in  1897  followed  Seidl  as  con- 
ductor of  the  Metropolitan  Orchestra.  He 
composed  two  symphonies  (1878,  '80),  the 
comic  operas  'The  Rat-Charmer  of  Hame- 
lin'  (1880),  'Don  Quixote'  (1882),  'Prince 
Woodruff'  (1887)  and  'The  Minstrel'  (1892), 
several  overtures,  cantatas,  choruses  and  songs.

NEUPERT,  EDMUND  (Apr.  1,  1842, 
Christiania,  Norway  :  June  22,  1888,  New 
York),  had  his  first  training  from  his  father. 
From  1858  he  studied  in  Berlin  with  Kullak 
and  Kiel,  becoming  teacher  in  the  former's 
Academy  and  associate  of  the  latter  in  the 
Stern  Conservatory.  From  1868  he  was 
leading  piano-teacher  at  the  Copenhagen 
Conservatory  and  in  1880-81  was  assistant 
and  for  a  short  time  successor  of  Nicholas 
Rubinstein  #t  the  Moscow  Conservatory. 
After  1882  he  was  in  New  York,  where  his 
concert-playing  made  a  deep  impression  —  '  a 
sweep,  power  and  breadth  truly  gorgeous  and 
overwhelming,'  said  one  critic.  His  com- 
positions were  almost  wholly  salon-pieces, 
etudes  and  exercises,  including  a  Piano-School 
(1880),  Concert-etudes,  op.  17,  Octave-Stud- 
ies, op.  18,  Studies  in  Style,  opp.  19-20,  Poeti- 
cal fitudes,  opp.  25,  51,  etc.  [  R.7  ] 

NEVADA,  EMMA  [name  originally  Wixom] 
(1862,  Alpha,  Gal.).  See  article  in  Vol.  iii. 
365-6.  In  1884-85  she  was  a  member  of 
Mapleson's  troupe  and  as  such  sang  not  only 
in  New  York  and  San  Francisco,  but  at  the 


Grand  Opera  Festival  in  Chicago  in  May, 
1885,  and  again  in  1889.  Since  then  she  has 
been  heard  only  in  Europe.  [  R.7  ] 

NEVIN,  ARTHUR  FINLEY  (Apr.  27, 
1871,  Edgeworth,  Pa.),  after  a  partial  course 
at  the  University  of  Pittsburgh,  in  1891-93 
studied  in  Boston  at  the  New  England  Con- 
servatory, taking  piano  with  Otto  Bendix, 
voice  with  Nobbs  and  theory  with  Goetschius, 
followed  by  four  years  in  Berlin,  studying  piano 
with  Klindworth  and  Jedliczka  and  com- 
position with  Boise  and  Humperdinck.  In 
1897-1910  he  lived  at  Edgeworth  engaged 
with  teaching  and  composition,  except  that 
in  1903-04,  having  become  deeply  interested 
in  Indian  music,  he  lived  among  the  Blackfeet 
Indians  of  Montana,  noting  their  music  and 
legends.  This  gave  the  basis  for  his  opera 
'Poia,'  later  composed  at  Edgeworth,  and  for 
many  lectures,  beginning  with  one  in  1907  in 
the  White  House  in  Washington  at  President 
Roosevelt's  invitation.  On  Apr.  23,  1910, 
'Poia'  was  given  at  the  Royal  Opera  in  Berlin 
under  Muck  —  the  first  American  opera  to 
be  accepted  by  such  a  house  —  after  prepara- 
tion under  the  composer's  direction.  In 
1911-14  he  lived  at  Charlottesville,  Va.,  busy 
with  composition,  and  in  1914-15  was  engaged 
in  conducting  in  connection  with  the  Mac- 
Dowell  Association's  work  at  Peterboro,  N. 
H.  Since  1915  he  has  been  head  of  the  choral 
and  extension-work  of  the  University  of 
Kansas,  involving  the  oversight  of  35  com- 
munity-choruses. In  1917-18  he  had  leave 
of  absence  to  direct  music  at  Camp  Grant  in 
Illinois,  where  he  drilled  41,000  soldiers  in 
singing,  led  a  massed  band  of  240  and  oc- 
casionally had  a  chorus  of  35,000  at  one  time. 
His  works  include,  besides  'Poia'  (published 
by  Fiirstner),  the  one-act  opera  'A  Daughter 
of  the  Forest'  (1918,  Chicago,  published  by 
Church),  the  masque  'A  Night  in  Yaddo- 
Land,'  the  cantatas  'The  Djinns,'  with  ac- 
companiment for  two  pianos  (divided  prize 
from  the  Mendelssohn  Club  of  Cleveland), 
and  'Roland,'  a  'Miniature  Suite'  in  five 
movements  for  orchestra,  two  other  orchestral 
suites — 'Lorna  Doone'  and  'Love-Dreams,' 
a  string-quartet  in  D  minor,  'At  the  Spring* 
for  string-orchestra,  a  piano-trio  in  C,  'Baka- 
wali  Dances'  for  orchestra  (written  for  Ruth 
St.  Denis),  three  piano-suites  and  other  piano- 
pieces,  about  25  songs  and  several  choral  works.

justified.  It  was  first  sung  by  Francis  Rogers,

in  New  York  the  same  year.  To  the  list  of 
works  add  the  song-cycle  'Captive  Memories,'

NEW  ENGLAND  CONSERVATORY  OF 
MUSIC,  THE,  of  Boston,  was  established 
in  .1867  by  Eben  Tourjee,  then  in  charge  of 
a  successful  school  in  Providence.  With 
him  for  a  time  was  associated  Robert  Gold- 
beck,  and  the  original  faculty  included  Lang, 
Perabo,  Emery,  Zerrahn,  Tuckerman  and 
George  E.  Whiting.  The  conservatory  was 
first  located  in  rooms  in  the  Music  Hall  Build- 
ing, with  easy  access  to  the  best  concerts  and 
to  the  great  organ.  In  1870  the  first  class 
of  thirteen  was  graduated,  and  the  Con- 
servatory was  incorporated  with  the  provision 
that  all  profits  from  operation  should  be 
devoted  exclusively  to  the  interests  of  the 
institution.  The  director's  activity  in  the 
Peace  Jubilees  of  1868  and  1872  undoubtedly 
helped  progress.  The  faculty  was  steadily 
enlarged  and  strengthened,  by  1875  including 
every  important  Boston  musician,  and  the 
student-body  increased  rapidly,  up  to  1878 
totaling  over  14,000,  coming  from  all  parts 
of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  An  early 
emphasis  was  given  to  public-school  music, 
for  which  in  1874  a  summer-school  was  opened 
at  East  Greenwich,  R.  I.  When  Luther  W. 
Mason  went  to  Japan  in  1879-82  to  introduce 
American  methods,  it  was  as  a  member  of 
the  Conservatory  staff. 

In  1882  the  large  St.  James  Hotel  on  Frank- 
lin Square  was  bought  to  provide  better  teach- 
ing facilities  and  a  suitable  dormitory  for 
women-students.  Here  the  Tourjees,  husband 
and  wife,  created  a  genuine  home  for  the  pupils. 
In  May  of  that  year  the  thousandth  Conser- 
vatory concert  was  given.  But  the  financing 
of  the  big  enterprise  was  difficult.  Devices 
like  providing  some  non-musical  instruction 
were  tried,  and  aid  was  sought,  unsuccessfully, 
from  the  State.  This  burden  hastened  the 
director's  death  in  1891.  He  was  followed 
in  1891  by  Carl  Faelten,  who  was  in  turn 
succeeded  in  1897  by  George  W.  Chadwick, 
the  present  director.  The  latter  at  once 
proceeded  to  organize  the  institution  upon 
strictly  musical  lines,  to  strengthen  the 
faculty  by  adding  younger  teachers  who 


had  had  modern  intensive  training,  and  to  lift 
the  standard  generally  to  that  of  the  best 
European  schools.  Among  the  strong  ac- 
cessions were  Helen  Hopekirk,  Carl  Baermann, 
and  Wallace  Goodrich,  who  in  1907  became 
dean  of  the  faculty.  Plans  were  also  de- 
veloped for  a  new  building,  largely  on  the 
initiative  and  with  the  help  of  Eben  D.  Jordan, 
later  president  and  munificent  benefactor. 

In  1902  the  Conservatory  removed  to  its 
present  building  on  Huntington  Avenue, 
close  to  the  new  Symphony  Hall  and  various 
literary  and  educational  centers.  This  build- 
ing, designed  by  Wheelwright  and  Haven, 
is  a  model  of  convenience  and  taste  —  with 
ample  offices  and  public  rooms,  a  large  audi- 
torium (called  Jordan  Hall  after  the  donor), 
a  second  auditorium,  seating  about  400,  over 
fifty  class-rooms,  a  library  and  museum,  a 
music-store  and  printing-offices,  etc.  The 
business-manager  is  Ralph  L.  Flanders,  whose 
efficient  policy  for  over  fifteen  years  has  led 
to  the  practical  extinction  of  the  debt  of  over 
half  a  million  inherited  from  earlier  years. 

The  average  number  of  students  annually 
is  above  3000  and  the  total  registration  since 
foundation  over  100,000.  The  faculty  of 
over  seventy-five  members  includes  teachers 
and  soloists  of  national  reputation.  The 
regular  courses,  leading  to  a  diploma  in  any 
one  of  the  principal  branches,  are  designed 
to  prepare  for  a  professional  career  as  artist 
or  teacher.  Special  students  are  also  ad- 
mitted, with  full  privileges  as  to  lectures  and 
recitals.  Emphasis  is  placed  upon  the  organ- 
department,  the  dramatic  department,  public- 
school  music,  the  orchestra  and  the  various 
ensemble-classes.  The  orchestra,  numbering 
about  seventy-five,  is  a  complete  symphonic 
organization,  has  rehearsals  twice  a  week 
under  the  director  or  dean,  gives  several 
concerts  with  classical  and  modern  programs, 
and  assists  in  sundry  Conservatory  functions, 
including  accompaniment  of  advanced  stu- 
dents. It  has  supplied  players  for  many  of  the 
leading  orchestras  of  the  country.  Since  1905 
the  Conservatory  has  had  relations  with  Har- 
vard University  whereby  students  of  either  can 
pursue  certain  studies  with  credit  in  the  other. 
The  library  of  almost  5000  volumes  is  strong 
in  complete  editions,  cathedral  music,  choral, 
orchestral  and  chamber- works,  and  in  books  of 
general  reference.  The  museum  of  instruments 
contains  interesting  specimens  from  Oriental 
and  Asiatic  countries.  Women-students  are 
provided  for  in  a  series  of  residences  near  by, 
under  Conservatory  management,  with  ac- 
commodation for  about  200. 

The  Conservatory  is  supported  by  receipts 
from  tuition  and  from  invested  funds,  the 
latter  largely  coming  by  bequest  from  Eben 
D.  Jordan  and  Mrs.  Robert  Dawson  Evans.

NEWMAN 


Reference  is  made  on  pp.  33-4  to  the  unique 
eminence  of  the  Conservatory  in  the  history 
of  American  musical  education.  It  was  the 
first  large  music-school,  and  has  always 
occupied  a  position  of  noble  leadership  and 
beneficent  influence. 

NEW  HAVEN  SYMPHONY  ORCHES- 
TRA, THE,  was  organized  in  1896  more  or 
less  as  an  adjunct  to  the  Yale  School  of 
Music.  Until  1919  the  conductor  was  Horatio 
Parker.  In  1907  Isidore  Troostwyk,  the  con- 
certmaster,  started  the  New  Haven  String 
Orchestra,  which  he  has  since  conducted. 
Among  first  performances  by  this  latter  are 
Kriens'  'In  Holland'  Suite  (1912)  and  a  suite 
by  Troostwyk  (1914). 

'NEW  MUSIC  REVIEW,  THE.'  See 
note  in  Vol.  iii.  689.  The  first  number  of 
'  The  Church  Music  Review'  appeared  in 
December,  1901.  The  'Review'  has  occupied 
a  place  by  itself  for  acute  editorials,  able 
contributed  articles,,  useful  summaries  of 
leading  events,  the  management  of  church 
music  and  for  many  years  official  records  of 
the  A.  G.  O. 

NEW  ORLEANS  FRENCH  OPERA 
TROUPE,  THE,  is  the  name  most  often  used 
for  various  companies  playing  in  New  Orleans 
at  intervals  from  about  1800  and  often  making 
considerable  tours  in  the  North.  Most  of 
these  were  troupes  brought  from  Paris. 

NEW  ORLEANS  OPERA  HOUSE,  THE, 
or  The  New  French  Opera  House,  was  built 
by  BoudousquiS  in  1859  and  remained  the 
home  of  brilliant  productions  until  1919,  when 
it  was  destroyed  by  fire.  Among  works 
given  here  for  the  first  time  in  America  are 
Gounod's  'La  Reine  de  Saba'  and  'Le  Tribut 
de  Zamora,'  Bizet's  'L'Arlesienne,'  Massenet's 
'Herodiade,'  'Esclarmonde,'  'Werther,'  'Cen- 
drillon'  and  'Don  Quichotte,'  Salvayre's ' Rich- 
ard III,'  Saint-Saens' '  Samson  et  Dalila,'  Lalo's 
'Le  Roi  d'Ys,'  Reyer's  'Salammbo,'  Cilea's 
'Adrienne  Lecouvreur,'  Giordano's  'Siberia' 
and  Leroux'  'Le  Chemineau.'  The  influence 
of  the  traditions  of  this  House  has  been  espe- 
cially felt  in  Chicago  and  New  York.  See  The 
Art  of  Music,  iv.  pp.  162-5. 

NEW  THEATRE,  THE,  in  New  York,  was 
erected  in  1909  primarily  to  provide  a  place 
for  spoken  drama.  In  1909-10,  however,  it 
was  the  scene  of  a  supplementary  season  of 
40  performances  by  the  forces  of  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House,  the  works  being  lighter 
than  those  there  given.  In  1913-15  it  was 
again  used  for  opera  under  the  name  of  The 
Century  Theater  (see  CENTURY  OPERA  COM- 
PANY). 

NEW  YORK  CHAMBER  MUSIC  SO- 
CIETY, THE,  was  formed  in  1914  by  Carolyn 
Beebe  and  Gustave  Langenus.  At  first  they 
shared  the  direction,  but  soon  Miss  Beebe 


became  sole  conductor.  The  aim  has  been  to 
assemble  a  strong  body  of  expert  players  of 
both  string-  and  wood-instruments,  to  develop 
an  ensemble  like  that  of  a  string-quartet, 
and  to  build  up  a  large  and  significant  reper- 
toire. The  Society  has  had  much  success. 
In  1919  it  was  incorporated,  and  now  controls 
the  exclusive  services  of  its  players.  The 
members  are  Miss  Beebe,  pianist  and  di- 
rector, Pierre  Henrotte  and  Scipione  Guidi, 
violins,  Samuel  Lifschey,  viola,  Paul  Kefer, 
'cello,  Emil  Mix,  double-bass,  Gustave  Lan- 
genus, clarinet,  William  Kincaid,  flute,  Henri 
de  Busscher,  oboe,  Ugo  Savolini,  bassoon, 
and  Joseph  Franzl,  horn.  All  the  members 
are  American-born  or  naturalized  citizens. 
The  Society  has  introduced  the  following 
works : 

(1917)  Dubois'  'Deux  Pieces  en  forme  canonique' ; 
d'Indy's  Trio  in  B-flat,  op.  29;  Goepfart's  Quartet 
in  F,  op.  98 ;  Huss'  Four  Intermezzi ;  Sekles'  Serenade 
in  B-flat,  op.  6 ;  Mason's  Scherzo-Caprice,  op.  14a ; 
Tovey's  Variations  on  a  theme  of  Gluck,  op.  28 ;  Hol- 
brooke's Nocturne,  'Fairyland,'  op.  57,  no.  1 ;  Hure's 
Quintet  in  D;  (1918)  Dubois'  Quintet  in  F  and 
Dixtuor  in  D ;  Juon's  Divertimento  in  F,  op.  51 ; 
Taylor's  Suite,  'Through  the  Looking-Glass,'  op. 
12 ;  Goossens'  Suite  in  C,  op.  6 ;  (1919)  Ries'  Octet 
in  A-flat,  op.  128;  Pirani's  'Gavotte  Rococo'  and 
'Whirlwind'  Scherzo;  Tovey's  Trio  in  D  minor, 
op.  14;  Goossens'  Suite,  '  Impressions  of  a  Holiday,' 
op.  7;  (1920)  Lefebvre's  Quintet  in  A;  Griffes' 
Suite,  op.  5 ;  Sowerby's  Quintet  in  D  minor ;  Jun- 
gen's  Trio  in  F-sharp,  op.  30. 

Several  of  these  were  written  for  the  Society, 
and  other  special  works  are  in  prospect. 

NEW  YORK  COLLEGE  OF  MUSIC,  THE, 
was  founded  in  1878.  In  1887-1905  the  di- 
rector was  Alexander  Lambert,  who  was 
succeeded  by  Carl  Hein  and  August  Fraemcke. 

NEW  YORK  SACRED  MUSIC  SOCIETY, 
THE,  was  a  choral  society  formed  in  1823 
on  the  basis  of  the  choir  of  Zion  Church.  In 
1831  it  gave  'The  Messiah'  — the  first  com- 
plete performance  in  New  York  —  and  in 
1838  the  first  American  rendering  of  'St. 
Paul,'  both  conducted  by  U.  C.  Hill.  In 
1849  it  was  replaced  by  the  Harmonic  Society. 

NEW  YORK  TRIO  CLUB,  THE,  was 
founded  about  1867  by  Bernardus  Boekelman 
and  directed  by  him  as  pianist  till  1888.  The 
other  members  were  R.  Richter,  violinist,  and 
Emil  Schenck,  'cellist.  In  1919  a  New  York 
Trio  was  formed  with  Clarence  Adler,  pianist, 
Scipione  Guidi,  violinist,  and  Cornelius  Van 
Vliet,  'cellist.

from  Columbia  University  in  1909  and  studied 
further  with  Rybner,  gaining  a  Mus.B.  in  1911. 
In  1904-05  he  was  organist  at  St.  Bartholo- 
mew's Chapel  and  while  in  the  University  was 
assistant  at  the  Chapel  there.  In  1906-15  he 
served  at  St.  Mary's  and  in  1915-17  at  All 
Saints',  both  in  Brooklyn,  and  developed  from 
1912  the  jEolian  Choir  there  for  the  study  and 
presentation  of  Russian  music,  giving  about 
thirty  recitals  and  bringing  out  over  80  works, 
some  of  them  unperformed  outside  of  Russia.

NORMAL  INSTITUTES.  The  name  ap- 
plied to  summer-schools  for  teachers,  such  as 
began  to  be  common  just  before  the  Civil  War. 
The  first  example  is  said  to  have  been  that  held 
by  Root,  Hastings  and  Bradbury  in  1852  in 
New  York.  Emphasis  was  usually  laid  on 
vocal  music  and  on  elementary  theory,  with 
more  or  less  instrumental  demonstration 
through  recitals.  Though  loosely  conceived 
and  dependent  on  the  ability  of  particular 
leaders,  these  Institutes  doubtless  served  a 
useful  purpose.  They  foreshadowed  such 
well-organized  and  established  enterprises 
as  the  Chautauqua  Institution,  the  summer- 
schools  of  various  universities  and  certain 
detached  schools  for  teachers  that  are  now 
in  operation.  See  CONVENTIONS.

NORRIS,  HOMER  ALBERT  (Oct.  4, 
1860,  Wayne,  Me.  :  Aug.  14,  1920,  New 


York),  was  first  taught  by  Marston  in  Portland, 
studied  with  Turner,  Emery  and  Chadwick  at 
the  New  England  Conservatory  in  Boston,  and 
then  spent  four  years  in  Paris  with  Guilmant, 
Dubois,  Godard  and  Gigout.  His  early  posi- 
tions as  organist  were  in  Lewis  ton  and  Port- 
land, Me.,  and  in  1892-1904  he  was  at  the  Rug- 
gles  Street  Church  in  Boston  and  in  1904-13  at 
St.  George's  in  New  York.  He  devoted  himself 
largely  to  promulgating  French  ideas  in  compo- 
sition and  was  one  of  the  first  to  emphasize 
these  in  America,  publishing  Practical  Harmony 
on  a  French  Basis,  1896,  and  The  Art  of  Counter- 
point, 1899,  besides  numerous  articles  in  lead- 
ing periodicals.  His  compositions  include 
the  oratorio  'St.  John  the  Baptist,'  the  cantata 
'Nain,'  a  setting  of  Whitman's  'The  Flight 
of  the  Eagle,'  for  soprano,  tenor  and  baritone 
(1905),  about  60  songs,  including  'Twilight,1 
'Peace'  and  the  popular  'Rock-a-bye,  Baby,' 
and  pieces  for  organ  and  piano.  [  R.7  ] 

NORTH  AMERICAN  MUSIC  FESTI- 
VALS, THE,  are  gatherings  organized  in  1916 
by  A.  A.  Van  de  Mark  and  held  annually  in 
Lockport,  N.  Y.  The  programs  include  papers 
and  discussions  upon  varied  topics  of  practical 
interest,  with  extended  performances  of  music, 
vocal  and  instrumental,  by  American  compos- 
ers and  interpreters.  Several  prizes  are  offered 
for  works  specially  written  in  competition. 

NORTHWESTERN  CONSERVATORY 
OF  MUSIC,  THE,  of  Minneapolis,  was 
founded  in  1885  by  Charles  H.  Morse  and 
directed  by  him  till  1891  after  the  model  of 
the  New  England  Conservatory. 

NORTHWESTERN  UNIVERSITY,  Ev- 
anston,  111.  (Methodist),  has  had  a  School  of 
Music  since  1873,  though  at  first  not  organically 
related  to  its  total  system.  Since  1891,  how- 
ever, under  the  care  of  Peter  C.  Lutkin  (dean 
from  1897)  it  has  been  not  only  in  full  stand- 
ing among  the  constituent  schools  of  the  Uni- 
versity, but  more  and  more  notable  for  the

but  returned  to  New  York  to  play  in  the 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  orchestra.  Brod- 
sky  played  his  violin-suite  in  Leipzig  as  early 
as  1894.  Busoni's  performance  of  the  piano- 
concerto  was  with  the  Berlin  Philharmonic 
Orchestra  in  1896.  [  R.8  ] 

NOVAE'S,  GUIOMAR  (Feb.  28,  1895, 
Sao  Joao  da  Boa"  Vista,  Brazil),  began  study 
at  seven  in  Sao  Paulo  and  appeared  there  as 
pianist  at  nine.  Her  promise  was  such  that 
the  Brazilian  government  assigned  her  a 
subsidy  and  in  1909  she  entered  the  Paris 
Conservatory  as  first  among  nearly  400 
applicants.  After  two  years  with  Philipp  in 
1911  she  graduated  with  a  first  prize,  made 
her  formal  debut  and  entered  upon  a  long 
tour  on  the  Continent,  in  England,  and  in 
South  America.  In  November,  1915,  she 
first  played  in  New  York  and  has  since  been 
repeatedly  heard  there  and  elsewhere  with 
enthusiasm.  Finck  said  of  her  in  the  'Even- 
ing Post '  at  one  time,  '  More  inspired  playing 
has  never  been  heard  in  JSolian  Hall,  and 
^Eolian  Hall  audiences  have  heard  all  the  fore- 
most pianists  of  the  time.'  [  R.10  ] 

NOYES,  EDITH  ROWENA  (Mar.  26, 
1875,  Cambridge,  Mass.),  in  1891-96  was  a 
pupil  of  MacDowell  in  Boston  and  of  Chad- 
wick,  and  has  since  worked  there  as  pianist, 
teacher,  and  composer.  Her  more  important 
works  are  the  operetta  'Last  Summer'  (1898, 
Lowell),  a  violin-sonata  in  F-sharp  minor, 
op.  70,  on  Indian  themes,  a  piano-trio,  op.  73, 
and  the  pageant-opera  'Waushakum'  (1917, 
Framingham,  Mass.),  besides  many  piano- 
pieces,  songs,  and  anthems.  In  1909  she 
married  Roy  G.  Greene.  [  R.8  ] 

NOYES,  EDWARD  HIBBARD  (Mar.  23, 
1867,  London,  Ont.),  first  studied  with  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  W.  H.  Sherwood  in  Boston  and  in 
1885-87  was  organist  there.  Between  1887 
and  1895  he  studied  with  Barth  in  Berlin,  was 
for  a  year  court-pianist  to  Prince  de  Levin  in 


Russia,  studied  further  with  Mme.  Essipov- 
Leschetizky  in  Vienna  and  made  a  tour  in 
Norway  and  Sweden  with  the  violinist  Fred- 
eriksen.  Since  1895  he  has  taught  in  Boston 
and  also  at  the  Hartford  (Conn.)  School  of 
Music,  becoming  noted  through  many  able 
pupils.  In  1899-1901  he  played  in  several 
series  of  trio-recitals  with  Troostwyk,  with 
Leo  Schulz,  the  'cellist,  with  the  Kneisel 
Quartet,  etc.  He  has  published  a  few  songs 
(Thompson).  [  R.7  ]

NUNO,  JAMES  (Sept.  8,  1824,  San  Juan 
de  las  Abadesas,  Spain :  July  17,  1908,  Buf- 
falo), was  a  choir-boy  at  the  Barcelona  Ca- 
thedral, studied  composition  with  Merca- 
dante  in  Italy  and  led  small  orchestras  in 
Barcelona  for  some  years.  In  1851  he  became 
band-master  in  the  army  and  was  sent  to  Cuba 
to  establish  band-music  there.  About  1853 
Santa  Anna  made  him  general  band-inspector 
in  Mexico  and  he  soon  became  one  of  the  two 
directors  of  the  new  National  Conservatory 
in  Mexico  City,  besides  composing  the  present 
Mexican  national  hymn.  In  1856  he  managed 
tours  in  the  United  States  for  singers  from  the 
Italian  opera,  served  as  conductor  with  Thai- 
berg  and  presently  led  both  Italian  and  French 
opera  at  Havana,  being  also  associated  with 
Gottschalk.  In  1863-69  he  led  opera-troupes 
not  only  in  Cuba,  but  in  the  United  States, 
Mexico  and  Central  America,  with  singers 
like  Sontag,  Grisi,  Mario/ Malibran,  Kellogg 
and  Patti,  and  in  1864  assisted  as  conductor 
at  the  welcome  to  Maximilian.  After  1870 
he  lived  at  Buffalo,  teaching  singing  and 
conducting  various  societies,  serving  as 
organist  at  different  churches  there  and  in 
Rochester,  and  composing  about  50  church- 
works.  In  1904,  on  invitation  from  President 
Diaz,  he  was  the  guest  of  honor  at  the  fiftieth 
anniversary  of  the  writing  of  his  National 
Hymn  (first  given  on  Sept.  15-16,  1854)  and 
received  a  remarkable  ovation.  [  R.4  ]

OBER,  MARGARETE  (Apr.  15,  1885, 
Berlin,  Germany),  studied  singing  with  Stolz- 
enberg  in  Berlin  in  1903-05  and  later  with 
Arthur  Arndt,  whom  she  married  in  1910. 
Her  debut  as  stage-soprano  was  in  1906  at 
Frankfort  in  the  role  of  Azucena.  In  1906-07 
her  success  at  the  Stettin  Stadt-Theater  was  so 
pronounced  that  she  was  called  to  the  Ber- 
lin Royal  Opera.  She  created  the  title-role 
there  in  Massenet's  'Therese'  in  1908  and 
that  of  Nenahu  in  Nevin's  'Poia'  in  1910.  In 
1913  she  was  engaged  for  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House,  appearing  on  Nov.  21  as  Ortrud. 
She  has  since  remained  there,  until  1916 
returning  to  Germany  for  the  summers. 
Her  repertoire  includes  the  roles  of  Brangane, 
Ortrud,  Fricka,  Waltraute,  Erda,  Klytem- 
nestra  (in  'Iphigenia  en  Aulide'),  Eglantine 
(in  'Euryanthe'),  Fides,  Dalila,  Azucena, 
Amneris,  Laura  (in  'La  Gioconda'),  Marina 
(in  '  Boris  Godunov'),  the  Witch  (in  'Hansel 
und  Gretel'),  Octavian  (in  'Der  Rosen- 
kavalier')  and  Katharina  (in  'Der  Wider- 
spenstigenZahmung').  [  R.10  ] 

OBERHOFFER,  EMIL  (Aug.  10, 1867,  Mu- 
nich, Germany),  as  a  boy  took  up  violin 
and  organ  with  his  father,  in  youth  had  ad- 
vice from  Kistler  in  piano  and  composition, 
and  later  studied  piano  with  Philipp  in  Paris. 
Coming  to  America,  after  a  brief  stay  in  New 
York,  in  1897  he  located  in  St.  Paul  as  con- 
ductor of  the  Apollo  Club  and  from  .1901  of 
the  Minneapolis  Philharmonic  Club.  This 
latter  work  led  in  1903  to  the  organization 
of  the  Minneapolis  Symphony  Orchestra, 
which  he  has  since  directed  with  such  ability 
that  it  has  become  one  of  the  leading  orchestras 
of  the  country.  He  has  also  been  for  a  time 
organist  at  the  Church  of  the  Redeemer  in 
Minneapolis  and  is  on  the  music-staff  of  the 
University  of  Minnesota.  [  R.8  ] 

OBERLIN  COLLEGE,  Oberlin,  O.  (Con- 
gregational), began  to  provide  music-teaching 
as  early  as  1837,  when  George  N.  Allen,  then 
a  student,  was  designated  as  instructor  in 
sacred  music.  He  continued  as  such  after 
graduating  in  1839  and  in  1841  was  made 
professor,  remaining  in  service  till  1864.  Two 
of  his  pupils,  John  P.  Morgan  and  George  W. 
Steele,  in  1865  organized  a  Conservatory, 
which  at  first  was  only  affiliated  with  the 
College  in  a  general  way.  In  1867  Morgan 
withdrew  and  from  1869  the  administration 
was  taken  up  by  Fenelon  B.  Rice,  who  re- 
mained in  charge  till  his  death  in  1901,  steadily 
building  up  the  efficiency  of  the  department 
in  every  direction.  In  1884,  by  the  gift  of 
Lucien  C.  Warner  and  wife  of  New  York, 


the  superior  Warner  Hall  was  built,  which  was 
later  much  extended  by  the  addition  of  a 
fine  concert-hall  and  further  facilities.  This 
hall  seats  about  1000,  and  there  are  two  large 
lecture-rooms,  25  studios,  an  ample  library 
and  about  120  practice-rooms.  The  organ- 
equipment  is  unusually  elaborate,  including 
a  large  concert-organ,  2  for  teaching  and  21 
for  practice.  In  1910  the  Rice  Memorial 
Hall  was  added  to  the  plant,  with  almost  as 
much  opportunity  for  practice  as  in  Warner 
Hall.  Since  1901  the  director  has  been 
Charles  W.  Morrison,  who  has  effectively 
continued  the  energetic  policy  of  earlier  years. 
The  faculty  now  numbers  about  35  and  the 
work  of  the  Conservatory  is  so  interlocked 
with  that  of  the  College  that  practically  the 
whole  student-body  of  1500  comes  under  its 
influence.  Mu'sic  counts  as  a  regular  elective 
in  the  course  for  A.  B.  and  post-graduate 
work  may  be  taken  leading  to  a  Mus.B. 
(over  300  su,ch  degrees  conferred).  The  usual 
number  of  pupils  annually  enrolled  is  over 
600.  Among  the  notable  features  of  the  cur- 
riculum are  the  emphasis  upon  organ,  theory 
and  history  and  the  stimulus  to  choral  music 
through  the  Oberlin  Musical  Union. 

OBERLIN  MUSICAL  UNION,  THE,  is 
a  choral  society  antedating  the  Oberlin  Con- 
servatory, though  vitally  related  to  it.  Started 
in  1860,  its  first  ten  years  were  largely  given 
to  the  performance  of  miscellaneous  programs 
under  various  leaders,  including  C.  H.  Church- 
ill, G.  W.  Steele,  J.  P.  Morgan  and  J.  C. 
Fillmore  of  Oberlin  and  some  visiting  con- 
ductors on  certain  occasions,  such  as  E.  M. 
Foote,  B.  F.  Baker,  and  J.  G.  Barnett.  In 
1871-1900  Fenelon  B.  Rice  was  permanent 
conductor  and  since  1900  George  W.  Andrews. 
Since  1871  not  much  besides  complete  works 
has  been  given.  The  chorus  usually  numbers 
about  200  and  three  concerts  are  now  given 
annually  (nearly  200  since  organization). 
A  few  performances  have  also  been  given  in 
Cleveland  with  the  Pittsburgh  or  Chicago 
Orchestras.  'The  Messiah'  was  early  taken 
up  and  in  1880-1903  was  sung  twice  each  year. 
'Elijah'  has  been  given  about  15  times,  'St. 
Paul,'  5;  Bach's  Christmas  Oratorio,  1; 
Beethoven's  9th  Symphony,  2;  his  Missa 
Solemnis,  1 ;  Brahms'  Requiem,  2 ;  Verdi's 
Requiem,  4  ;  Bruch's 'Odysseus,' 4  ;  Franck's 
'Les  Beatitudes,'  5;  G.  Schumann's  'Ruth,' 
2 ;  Saint-Saens'  'Samson  et  Dalila,' 8;  Elgar's 
'Dream  of  Gerontius,'  3;  Wolf-Ferrari's 
'La  Vita  Nuova,'  2;  Pierne's  'The  Children's 
Crusade,'  2  ;  concert  performances  of  Wagner's

ODELL  &  CO.,  J.  H.  &  C.  S.,  a  well-known 
firm  of  organ-builders  in  New  York,  was 
founded  in  1859  by  John  H.  Odell  (1830-99) 
and  Caleb  S.  Odell  (1827-93),  two  brothers  who 
had  been  in  the  employ  of  Ferris  &  Stewart. 
Their  first  modest  factory  was  at  165  Seventh 
Ave.,  and  the  first  organ  of  importance  made 
was  in  1863  for  the  South  Baptist  Church 
(opening  recital  by  G.  W.  Morgan  and  Mme. 
Parepa-Rosa) .  In  1866  they  patented  a 
system  of  pneumatic  piston-knobs  for  control- 
ling combinations  which  proved  so  succcessful 
that  increased  business  compelled  them  to 
seek  larger  facilities  at  407-9  West  42nd  St. 
The  plant  here  was  more  than  doubled  in 
1873,  and  is  now  finely  equipped.  In  1898 
the  firm  patented  its  '  Vacuo-Exhaust'  system, 
a  simple  and  efficient  type  of  tubular  action. 
In  1914  was  introduced  a  valuable  electro- 
magnetic action  that  was  a  decided  improve- 
ment over  the  electro-pneumatic  system 
previously  used.  Altogether  the  firm  has 
built  about  620  instruments,  of  which  6  are 
4-manual  and  60  3-manual.  Among  the 
former  are  those  in  Temple  Emanu-El,  New 
York  City  (1903)  and  St.  Joseph's,  Albany, 
N.  Y.  (1913).  The  direction  of  the  business 
has  remained  with  the  Odell  family,  sons  of 
both  founders  succeeding  in  1893,  and  two 
grandsons  of  C.  S.  Odell  following  in  1911.

GETTING,  WILLIAM  H.  (Oct.  14,  1875, 
Pittsburgh),  studied  with  his  father,  who  for 
25  years  was  organist  at  the  First  German 
Evangelical  Church  in  Pittsburgh,  and  other 
local  teachers,  followed  by  two  years  in  Berlin, 
continuing  organ  under  Reimann  and  Egidi, 
piano  under  Hutcheson  and  composition 
under  Boise.  At  the  same  time  he  taught  the 
English  class  in  harmony  at  the  Klindworth- 
Scharwenka  Conservatory.  Since  1901  he 
has  been  organist  and  teacher  in  Pittsburgh, 
accompanist  of  the  Apollo  Club,  in  1905-07 
organ-recitalist  at  the  Carnegie  Institute,  and 
i  since  1915  one  of  the  directors  of  the  Pittsburgh 
|  Musical  Institute.  At  present  he  is  organist  at 
;  the  Sixth  United  Presbyterian  Church.  He  has 
|  written  an  overture,  an  orchestral  Romanza 
(Pittsburgh  Festival  Orchestra),  an  organ- 
sonata,  a  Prelude  and  Fugue  in  E  minor  for 
organ  (Gray),  piano-pieces,  several  anthems 
(Church,  Kranz),  songs,  etc.  [  R.8  ] 


'OLD  FOLKS'  CONCERTS'  was  the  name 
given  in  1854  to  entertainments  conducted 
in  Boston  by  Robert  Kemp  (1820-97),  a 
dealer  in  shoes,  who  sought  to  keep  alive  the 
old-fashioned  'psalmody'  for  its  homely 
quaintness.  Since  then  the  term  has  been 
indiscriminately  applied  to  any  rendering  of 
similar  music,  often  presented  grotesquely 
and  even  in  caricature.  'Father'  Kemp 
published  an  Autobiography  in  1868. 

OLDBERG,  ARNE  (July  12,  1874,  Youngs- 
town,  O.),  was  the  son  of  a  noted  authority 
on  pharmacy  and  from  1884  was  educated 
in  Chicago,  where  he  had  his  early  training 
in  music,  supplemented  by  study  of  the  piano 
with  Leschetizky  in  Vienna  and  of  composition 
with  Rheinberger  in  Munich.  Since  1899  he 
has  been  head  of  the  piano-department  at 
Northwestern  University  in  Evanston,  HI. 
He  has  won  distinction  especially  as  com- 
poser of  orchestral  works,  which  have  been 
brought  out  not  only  at  the  North  Shore 
Festivals,  but  by  the  Chicago,  Philadelphia, 
Minneapolis  and  other  orchestras.  His 
chamber-works,  also,  have  secured  a  wide 
hearing.  His  compositions  include  Sym- 
phonies in  F  minor,  op.  23,  and  C  minor,  op. 
34  (both  taking  prizes  in  national  com- 
petitions), the  overtures  'Paolo  and  Fran- 
cesca,'  op.  21  (1908,  Chicago  Orchestra),  and 
'Festival'  (1909,  North  Shore  Festival,  1910,

ORATORIO  SOCIETY  OF  BALTIMORE, 
THE,  was  founded  in  1882  by  Otto  Sutro. 
Its  first  conductor  was  Fritz  Finke  (1882-94), 
followed  by  Joseph  Pache,  who  is  still  in  office. 
The  chorus  numbers  300-350  singers,  and 
two  or  three  concerts  are  given  each  year, 
partly  supported  by  a  body  of  patrons.  The 
Society  devotes  itself  to  oratorio  music  of 
the  highest  class,  including  at  least  thirty 
works  of  large  dimensions  and  representing 
all  periods  from  Bach  and  Handel  down  to  the 
present.  Notable  initial  performances  have 
been  those  of  Hamerik's  'Symphonie  Chorale' 
and  'Christian  Trilogy,'  Bruch's  'Moses'  and 
Nowowiejski's  '  Quo  Vadis.' 

ORATORIO  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  Newark, 
N.  J.  (formerly  called  the  Schubert  Vocal 
Society),  was  organized  in  1878  by  Louis 
Arthur  Russell,  who  has  been  its  conductor 
ever  since.  Originally  formed  to  cultivate 
part-songs  and  cantatas,  after  a  few  years  it 
added  the  larger  field  of  oratorio  left  vacant 
by  the  disbanding  of  the  Harmonic  Society. 
Membership  is  limited  to  125  singers.  The 
regular  series  includes  three  performances, 
often  with  'popular'  concerts  besides,  and  the 
Society  has  repeatedly  cooperated  efficiently 
in  charitable  undertakings,  so  that  the  total 
number  of  concerts  has  been  towards  150. 
In  1894  Mr.  Russell  organized  the  Newark 
Symphony  Orchestra,  primarily  to  assist 
at  the  concerts  of  the  Oratorio  Society,  but 


also  to  give  occasional  instrumental  perform- 
ances. Besides  a  large  variety  of  cantatas 
and  lighter  works,  the  Society  has  given  the 
standard  oratorios,  sacred  and  secular,  and 
many  operas  or  parts  of  operas  in  concert-form. 
American  works  include  Buck's  'Hymn  to 
Music'  and  'Light  of  Asia,'  Chadwick's 
'Lovely  Rosabel,'  Russell's  'Pastoral  Rhap- 
sody,' Parker's  'King  Trojan,'  'Harold  Har- 
fagar'  and  'A  Star-Song,'  and  Hadley's  'In 
Music's  Praise.' 

ORATORIO  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  New 
York.  See  article  in  Vol.  iii.  370-1.  Frank 
Damrosch  continued  as  conductor  till  1912 
and  in  1912-17  was  succeeded  by  Louis 
Koemmenich  and  in  1917  by  Walter  Damrosch. 
Among  the  more  striking  accomplishment* 
of  the  Society  in  recent  years  were  perform- 
ances in  1907  of  Wolf-Ferrari's  'La  Vita 
Nuova,'  in  1911  of  Franck's  'Les  Beatitudes,' 
Saint-Saens'  150th  Psalm  and  Grell's  Missa 
Solemnis,  in  1913  of  Taubmann's  'Eine 
deutsche  Messe'  and  Georg  Schumann's 
'Ruth,'  in  1914  of  Beethoven's  Missa  Solem- 
nis, in  1915  of  Bossi's  'Giovanna  d'Arco,'  etc. 
In  April,  1920,  the  Society  united  in  a  festival 
with  the  Symphony  Society  (as  previously 
in  1881)  at  which,  among  other  works,  Kelley's 
'Pilgrim's  Progress'  was  sung. 

ORATORIO  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  Toronto, 
was  founded  in  1912.  Its  conductor  is 
Edward  Broome.  The  chorus  numbers  200 
or  more.  There  are  at  least  two  concerts 
annually,  often  with  the  assistance  of  visiting 
orchestras,  such  as  the  Russian  Symphony, 
the  New  York  Philharmonic  or  the  Cincinnati 
Symphony.  The  Society  has  given  the  only 
performance  in  Canada  of  Gardiner's  'News 
from  Whydah'  and  Broome's  '  Hymn  of  Trust.' 

ORCHESTRAS.  Aggregations  of  instru- 
ments were  common  in  the  various  musical 
undertakings  of  the  18th  century,  as  Sonneck's 
records  abundantly  show  (see  especially  his 
Concert-Life'),  supplying  overtures,  symphonies 
and  the  accompaniments  for  operas  and 
choral  works  of  some  magnitude.  But  these 
were  not  permanent  in  membership  or  under 
any  steady  rehearsal.  The  first  important 
steps  toward  permanent  orchestras  were  taken 
by  the  Musical  Fund  Society  of  Philadelphia 
from  1820  and  the  Philharmonic  Society  of 
New  York  from  1842.  Stimulus  to  orchestral 
interest  came  notably  from  the  tours  of  the 
Germania  Orchestra  in  1848-54,  as  from  the 
visits  of  Gungl  in  1849  and  Jullien  in  1853. 
During  the  whole  decade  before  the  Civil 
War  the  popular  taste  for  instrumental  en- 
sembles was  also  much  advanced  in  certain 
places  by  chamber-concerts.  Every  attempt 
to  give  opera  on  a  large  scale  served  to  indicate 
orchestral  possibilities.  The  establishing  of 
'symphony  soirees'  in  New  York  by  Theodore 


OREM 


ORGAN 


317 


Thomas  in  1864  led  soon  to  his  epoch-making 
concert-tours  (1869-78).  After  1870  genuine 
symphony  orchestras  began  gradually  to  mul- 
tiply. Specially  significant  was  the  starting 
of  the  Cincinnati  Festivals  in  1873,  of  the 
New  York  Symphony  Society  in  1878,  and  of 
the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  in  1881.  In 
almost  all  the  larger  cities  —  and  in  not  a  few 
smaller  ones  as  well  — -there  are  now  orchestral 
societies  of  importance.  It  has  recently  been 
said  that  twelve  or  fifteen  of  these  are  so  far 
highly  organized  as  to  hold  daily  rehearsals. 
Besides  giving  series  of  concerts  annually  in 
their  home-cities,  most  of  the  larger  orchestras 
extend  their  influence  by  prolonged  tours. 

OREM,  PRESTON  WARE,  born  in  Phil- 
adelphia, was  educated  at  the  Eastburn 
Academy  and  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
and  studied  organ  and  theory  with  Clarke 
and  piano  with  Jarvis  and  others.  In  1889- 
95  he  was  organist  at  St.  Paul's  Pro-Cathedral 
in  Los  Angeles.  He  then  returned  to  Phila- 
delphia, taught  one  year  at  the  Philadelphia 
Conservatory,  and  in  1896-1905  was  on  the 
staff  of  the  Combs  Conservatory.  Since  1900 
he  has  been  editor  and  critic  for  the  Presser 
Company  and  also  conductor  of  the  Presser 
Choral  Society.  In  1901-10  he  was  organist 
at  the  Walnut  Street  Presbyterian  Church. 
His  published  works  include  a  Romance  for 
violin  and  orchestra,  an  'American  Indian 
Rhapsody'  for  piano  (also  for  orchestra), 
many  songs,  piano-pieces,  etc.,  besides  ar- 
rangements and  transcriptions.  Unpublished 
works  are  a  piano-quartet  and  quintet  and  a 
Ballet  Suite  for  orchestra.  He  is  author  of 
a  Harmony-Book  for  Beginners,  which  has  had 
an  enormous  circulation.  [  R.8  ] 

ORGAN.  See  general  article  in  Vol.  iii. 
513-62,  with  some  references  to  American 
facts.  During  the  past  thirty  or  forty  years 
there  has  been  an  extraordinary  growth  in 
the  United  States  and  Canada  in  everything 
pertaining  to  organ-making,  organ-playing 
and  the  popularization  of  organ-music.  No 
adequate  summary  of  all  this  can  here  be  made. 
But  certain  remarks  may  be  set  down. 

The  same  mechanical  ingenuity  and  business 
enterprise  that  have  made  American  piano- 
making  eminent  have  been  applied  in  the 
making  of  pipe-organs,  though  the  two  indus- 
tries are  so  different  that  the  facts  in  the 
latter  field  are  not  as  obvious.  Probably  the 
improvements  in  organ-making  are  actually 
more  varied  and  at  least  equally  striking. 
The  installation  of  the  German  organ  in  the 
Boston  Music  Hall  in  1863  stimulated  advance 
in  a  general  way.  About  1870  the  experi- 
\  ments  of  Hilbourne  L.  Roosevelt  in  both 
voicing  and  mechanism  were  speedily  followed 
by  others.  Competition  soon  became  keen 
to  offer  effective  solutions  of  problems  in 


pneumatic  and  electric  action,  in  augmented, 
stabilized  and  graded  wind-supply,  in  pro- 
gressive and  refined  stop-specification,  voicing 
and  pipe-disposition,  in  the  planning  and  in- 
ternal adjustments  of  consoles,  leading  to 
unprecedented  facilities  for  registration,  etc. 
Along  with  these  essential  improvements, 
which  have  come  into  general  use  since  about 
1900,  have  gone  others  less  tangible,  especially 
in  shop-efficiency,  expertness  in  erecting  and 
enterprise  in  developing  a  market.  The 
extraordinary  extension  of  the  industry  in  the 
United  States  is  also  partly  due  to  circum- 
stances that  are  peculiar,  such  as  the  rapid 
building  up  of  new  communities,  their  geo- 
graphical dispersion  (encouraging  the  found- 
ing of  organ-factories  at  many  separate 
points),  and  the  multiplicity  of  religious 
denominations  and  the  number  of  churches 
relative  to  the  population.  There  are  per- 
haps 100  establishments,  employing  2500-3000 
workers.  The  annual  output  is  probably 
over  2000  instruments,  among  which  the 
proportion  of  those  with  three  or  four  manuals 
has  lately  increased  decidedly. 

Within  the  last  three  decades  organ-playing 
as  a  specialty  has  made  remarkable  advances. 
Every  large  conservatory  and  music-school 
provides  elaborately  for  its  study.  The 
American  and  Canadian  Guilds  of  Organists 
have  done  much  to  foster  a  high  grade  of 
technical  skill  and  a  serious  professional 
purpose,  while  the  National  Association  of 
Organists  has  stimulated  zeal  and  ambition. 
Many  periodicals  devote  much  space  to  organ- 
interests,  and  several  organ-journals  have  been 
started.  Series  of  free  organ-recitals  are  now 
extremely  common,  and  many  large  cities 
provide  municipal  concerts.  Recitalists  make 
tours  like  pianists  and  violinists.  Special  re- 
cent developments  are  the  frequent  installa- 
tion of  large  instruments  in  hotels,  in  fraternal 
lodges,  and  in  theaters  and  places  where  photo- 
plays are  given.  Organ-music,  then,  has  be- 
come in  many  places  one  of  the  commonest  and 
most  popular  forms  oi  concert-music.  The  re- 
action of  this  upon  organ-composition  has  al- 
ready become  noticeable.  Leading  journals  are 
'  The  Diapason,'  published  in  Chicago,  and  '  The 
American  Organist,'  published  in  New  York. 

In  the  'New  Music  Review,'  February,  1910,  is  a 
valuable  summary  by  Charles  A.  Radzinsky  of  the 
history  of  organ-making  in  New  York  City  during 
the  19th  century.  Special  tribute  is  paid  to  the  genius 
of  Henry  Erben  (d.  1884),  who  started  in  1820  with 
Thomas  Hall  (d.  1877),  but  from  1824  proceeded 
alone,  becoming  one  of  the  best-known  makers 
in  the  country.  He  made  nearly  150  organs  for  New 
York  alone,  the  most  famous  being  that  in  Trinity 
Church  (1846).  His  business  passed  to  his  leading 
workman,  Louis  C.  Harrison,  later  of  Bloomfield, 
N.  J.  Meanwhile  Hall  in  1824  formed  the  firm  of 
Hall  «fe  Lebagh,  which  about  1865  became  Hall, 
Lebagh  &  Kemp.  In  their  shop  H.  L.  Roosevelt

had  his  first  training.  Another  series  was  founded 
about  1840  by  Richard  M.  Ferris  and  the  brothers 
Levi  U.  and  William  Stewart,  in  whose  employ  were 
the  Odells  and  Midmer.  Morgan  Davis,  who  had 
been  a  piano-maker  from  about  1800,  and  his  son, 
William  H.  Davis  (d.  1888),  also  began  in  1840, 
followed  by  two  later  generations.  Thomas  and 
Wiliam  Rob  John  became  notable  after  1850.  Among 
their  organs  was  that  in  the  South  (Reformed) 
Church,  said  to  have  been  the  first  in  America  with 
an  independent  pedal-division  (7  stops),  the;  first 
pneumatic  action  and  the  first  Vox  Humana  (im- 
ported from  France  by  U.  C.  Burnap).  The  Rob- 
Johns  became  voicers  for  the  Odells.  In  1853-75 
many  instruments  were  made  upon  German  lines  by 
Francis  Xavier  Engelfried,  whose  two  sons  became 
voicers  for  Roosevelt.  Reuben  Midmer  (d.  1895), 
who  was  trained  both  under  Hall  &  Lebagh  and  under 
the  Stewarts,  set  up  for  himself  in  1860  and  in  1888 
was  succeeded  by  his  son.  This  firm  now  has  its 
factory  at  Merrick,  L.  I.,  and  its  office  in  Brooklyn. 
It  is  noteworthy  that  many  of  the  above  pioneers  in 
the  industry  were  English  by  birth  (except  Engel- 
fried). 

The  work  of  the  Jardines,  the  Odells  and  the  Roose- 
velts  is  referred  to  in  separate  articles. 

ORNSTEIN,  LEO  (Dec.  11,  1895,  Kremen- 
chug,  Russia),  began  studies  at  the  Petrograd 
Conservatory  which  from  1906  were  con- 
tinued at  the  Institute  of  Musical  Art  in  New 
York,  Mrs.  Thomas  Tapper  being  his  piano- 
teacher.  His  debut  as  pianist  was  made  in 
New  York  early  in  1911,  and  he  has  since 
toured  the  country  as  soloist  and  recitalist. 
He  has  also  played  with  distinction  in  London, 
Paris  and  Christiania.  His  compositions  have 
aroused  much  discussion.  He  has  been  re- 
ported as  saying : 

'What  are  discords?  I  cannot  tell.  Somewhere 
there  is  a  law  of  harmony.  Where  it  is,  what  it  is, 
I  cannot  tell,  only  I  know  that  under  certain  con- 
ditions and  at  certain  times  I  hear  it,  I  get  color- 
impressions,  if  you  wish.  If  some  of  the  tones  are 
gray,  somber,  violent,  is  that  my  fault?  Does  this 
prove  that  because  the  human  ear  has  been  trained 
to  certain  combinations  of  sound  only  those  sounds 
are  true  harmony?  It  is  not  so  to  me  nor  do  I  care 
whether  the  usage  of  musical  form  so  considers  it 
or  not.  In  a  word,  I  am  not  concerned  with  form 
or  with  standards  of  any  nature.' 

His  publications  to  date  include  piano-pieces, 
songs  and  a  sonata  for  violin  and  piano  (Carl 
Fischer,  Schott).  See  biography  by  F.  H. 
Martens,  1917,  and  article  by  Charles  L. 
Buchanan  in  'The  Musical  Quarterly,'  April, 
1918.-  [  R.10  ] 

ORPHEUS  CLUB,  THE,  of  Springfield, 
Mass.,  was  founded  by  Amos  Whiting  in 
1873  for  the  cultivation  of  music  for  men's 
voices.  Its  conductors  have  been  Louis 
Coenen  (1874-79),  George  W.  Sumner  (1879- 
90),  E.  Cutter,  Jr.  (1890-94),  Horatio  W. 
Parker  (1894-95)  and  John  J.  Bishop  (since 
1895).  Until  1908  the  average  number  of 
singers  was  about  40,  but  since  then  has  risen 
to  about  150.  Till  1890  there  were  four 
concerts  annually,  till  1900  three,  till  1905 


two,  and  lately  but  one.  The  total  number 
has  been  about  135.  Among  the  longer  works 
given  are  Grieg's  'Landerkennung,'  Buck's 
'King  Olaf's  Christmas'  and  'Paul  Revere's 
Ride,'  Paine's  'Phcebus,  arise!'  Whiting's 
'March  of  the  Monks  of  Bangor,'  Foote's 
'Farewell  of  Hiawatha'  and  Baldwin's  'Hymn 
before  Action.' 

ORTH,  JOHN  (Dec.  2,  1850,  near  Ann- 
weiler,  Bavaria),  was  brought  to  Taunton, 
Mass.,  when  an  infant  and  there  gained  a 
public-school  education.  He  became  a  church- 
organist  at  twelve  and  in  1866-70  studied 
and  taught  in  Boston.  Five  years  in  Germany 
followed,  under  Kullak,  Lebert,  Pruckner, 
Deppe  and  Liszt  for  piano,  and  Faiszt,  Weitz- 
mann,  Kiel  and  Ph.  Scharwenka  for  theory 
and  composition.  Since  1875  he  has  been 
located  in  Boston  as  pianist  and  teacher. 
His  lecture-recitals  on  'With  Liszt  in  Weimar' 
have  made  him  well  known  as  a  Liszt  au- 
thority. He  has  published  a  number  of 
piano-pieces  and  done  much  editorial  work. 
He  has  also  devoted  time  and  attention  to 
humanitarian  and  reform  projects.  In  1883 
he  married  his  pupil  Lizette  E.  Blood  (d. 
Sept.  14,  1913,  Boston),  who  composed  many 
teaching-pieces  for  piano,  songs  and  operettas 
Under  the  name  L.  E.  Orth.  [  R.5  ]

OSGOOD,  EMMA  ALINE  (1849,  Boston 
:  Nov.  8,  1911,  Philadelphia),  came  of  old 
New  England  stock.  In  her  youth  she  sang 
at  the  Old  South  Church  in  Boston  and 
was  early  successful  in  oratorio  with  sing- 
ers, like  Miss  Gary,  Whitney,  Fessenden  and 
Babcock  and  under  conductors  like  Zerrahn 
and  Thomas.  In  1873  she  toured .  with  the 
Mendelssohn  Quintette  Club.  In  1875,  after 
study  with  Randegger  in  London,  she  appeared 
at  the  Crystal  Palace  under  Manns,  so  bril- 
liantly that  she  at  once  entered  on  an  English 
popularity  that  lasted  for  fifteen  years,  in- 
cluding engagements  under  all  the  leading 
conductors  and  at  first  performances  of  works 
like  Liszt's  'St.  Elizabeth'  and  Sullivan's 
'The  Light  of  the  World,'  besides  being  twice 
called  to  sing  before  Queen  Victoria.  Her 
early  visits  to  America  were  in  1878,  '80  and 
from  '81,  singing  repeatedly  at  the  Cincinnati 
and  other  Festivals,  and  establishing  herself 
as  a  favorite.  Her  voice  was  high,  but  rich 
in  quality,  her  enunciation  finished,  and  her 
interpretation  peculiarly  sympathetic  and 
effective.  After  giving  up  stage-work  she 
married  E.  Milton  Dexter  of  Philadelphia 
and  became  a  noted  teacher  there.  Nicholas 
Douty  is  one  of  her  pupils.  [  R.6  ]

OSGOOD,  GEORGE  LAURIE  (Apr.  4, 
1844,  Chelsea,  Mass.),  as  a  child  was  gifted 
with  an  acute  sense  of  pitch  and  had  musical 
advantages  from  the  start.  In  1866  he 
graduated  with  honors  from  Harvard  Uni- 
versity, having  taken  organ  and  composition 
under  Paine  and  had  three  years'  service  as 
leader  of  the  college  orchestra  and  glee-club. 
Going  then  to  Berlin,  he  spent  three  years 
studying  composition  under  Haupt  and  singing 
under  Sieber,  besides  forming  an  intimacy 
with  Franz  at  Halle.  Then  followed  two 
more  years  developing  his  tenor  voice  under 
Francesco  Lamperti  in  Milan.  In  1871, 
beginning  at  Vienna,  he  made  a  concert-tour 
of  Germany,  interpreting  German  lieder  and 
old  Italian  songs,  and  in  1872  Thomas  engaged 
him  for  a  season's  tour  in  America  with  his 
orchestra.  In  1872  he  settled  in  Boston  and 
for  thirty  years  took  a  leading  part  in  all  its 
musical  affairs.  He  taught  many  successful 
singers,  gave  annual  series  of  chamber-concerts 
and  directed  many  choral  societies.  When 
made  director  of  the  Boylston  Club  in  1875 
he  reorganized  the  society  completely  and 
changed  it  from  a  men's  to  a  mixed  chorus. 
Later  it  was  known  as  the  Boston  Singers' 
Society  and  was  famous  for  excellent  programs 
and  brilliant  performances.  For  it  he  edited 
The  Boylston  Collection  (Ditson),  which  is 
still  widely  used,  and  also  translated  the 
texts  of  many  choral  works  and  songs.  Since 
1903  he  has  lived  abroad,  lately  at  Godalming, 
England.  His  compositions  are  songs,  anthems 
and  unaccompanied  choral  pieces.  His  Guide 
in  the  Art  of  Singing  has  had  several  editions, 
and  a  new  work,  Mind  and  Melody,  is  nearly 
ready  for  the  press.  [  R.6  ] 

O'SHEA,  JOHN  AUGUSTINE  (Oct.  15, 
1864,  Milford,  Mass.),  after  public-school 
training  in  1885  graduated  from  the  New 
England  Conservatory  in  Boston  and  in  1887 
from  the  music-department  of  Boston  Uni- 
versity. He  is  now  music-director  in  the 
Boston  public  schools  and  organist  at  St. 
Cecilia's.  He  is  a  member  of  the  A.  G.  O. 
and  the  N.  A.  O.,  and  has  given  many  in- 
augural organ-recitals  throughout  the  country. 
He  played  at  the  Buffalo  Exposition  in  1901 
and  the  St.  Louis  Exposition  in  1904,  at  the 
latter  being  on  the  international  jury  of 
awards  in  the  music-section.  His  com- 
positions include  a  string-quartet  (medal  at 
Boston  University),  trios  for  piano,  violin 


and  'cello ;  a  Mass  in  F  and  a  Mass  in  honor 
of  St.  Cecilia ;  a  Barcarolle,  'Venetian  Nights,' 
for  piano;  the  operetta  'Mother  Goose'; 
the  comic  opera  'The  Mirrors  of  Thule' ;  and 
many  songs.  [  R.7  ]

it  has  given  many  shorter  works,  including 
the  first  performance  in  America  of  Coleridge- 
Taylor's  'Hiawatha's  Wedding-Feast,'  Mac- 
kenzie's 'The  Dream  of  Jubal'  (conducted  by 
the  composer),  etc. 

OTTERSTROM,  THORVALD  (July  17, 
1868,  Copenhagen,  Denmark),  studied  first 
in  Copenhagen  and  then  with  Sophie  Menter 
at  Petrograd.  In  1892  he  came  to  Chicago, 
where  he  has  since  been  diligent  as  teacher 
and  composer.  His  piano-works  have  had 
frequent  performances  in  America  and  abroad, 
many  of  them  introduced  by  Mrs.  Zeisler 
and  by  Ganz,  and  the  Chicago  Orchestra  has 
given  several  of  his  orchestral  works.  He 
has  published  a  quintet  for  piano  and  strings, 
24  preludes  and  fugues  for  piano,  7  concert- 
studies  for  piano,  'The  Spinning- Wheel*  for 
piano,  and  about  30  songs.  He  has  also 
written  an  orchestral  '  Canon,  Choral  and 
Fugue,'  an  'American  Negro'  Suite,  a  violin- 
sonata  in  G  minor,  a  'cello-sonata  in  C  minor, 
11  canons  and  a  fugue  on  a  theme  by  Grieg 
for  piano,  11  symmetric  double  crab-canons 
for  piano,  the  collection  of  piano-pieces 
'Shifting  Moods,'  43  Negro  slave-songs 
harmonized  for  chorus,  'Musical  Pictures 
of  Chippewa  Indian  Life,'  and  a  series  of  27 
tribal  songs  arranged  for  piano  with  scenario 
by  Alice  Gerstenberg.  [  R.8  ]

PACHE,  JOSEPH  (June  1,  1861,  Friedland- 
bei-Waldenburg,  Germany),  studied  at  the 
Munich  Conservatory  in  1879-83,  pursued 
piano  with  Klind worth  in  Berlin  in  1883-85 
and  composition  with  Bruch  in  Breslau  in 
1885-86,  besides  having  lessons  from  Barth 
(piano)  and  Hey  (singing).  Coming  to  New 
York  in  1891,  he  taught  for  a  year  at  the  New 
York  College  of  Music,  and  conducted  choruses 
in  New  York,  Newark  and  Trenton,  N.  J.  In 
1894  he  went  to  Baltimore  as  conductor  of  the 
Baltimore  Oratorio  Society,  a  post  which  he 
still  holds.  He  founded  the  Women's  Philhar- 
monic chorus  in  Baltimore,  and  for  seven  years 
conducted  the  York  (Pa.)  Oratorio  Society. 
He  has  composed  songs  and  choruses.  [  R.8  ]

PADEREWSKI,  IGNACE  JAN  (Nov. 
6,  1860,  Kurilovka,  Russian  Poland).  See 
article  in  Vol.  iii.  587-8.  His  first  appearance 
in  America  was  at  Carnegie  Hall  in  New  York 
on  Nov.  17,  1891,  and  during  the  six  months 
following  he  played  in  117  concerts.  On 
his  second  American  tour  (1892-93)  he  gave 
67  concerts  in  26  cities.  These  visits  were 
followed  by  others  in  1895-96,  1900-01, 
1901-02,  1907-08,  1913-14,  and  a  final  series 
of  30  recitals  beginning  in  1915-16.  In 
August,  1915,  he  played  at  the  San  Francisco 
Exposition  for  the  Polish  Victims'  Relief 
Fund,  his  first  professional  appearance  as 
pianist  after  the  war  began.  He  presently 
gave  up  music  for  notable  efforts  in  behalf  of 
Poland.  In  addition  to  raising  large  sums 
of  money,  in  1917  he  offered  the  United  States 
an  army  of  100,000  Poles  and  50  trained 
officers.  As  soon  as  conditions  permitted 
he  went  to  Poland,  accompanied  by  his 
friend  Ernest  Schelling,  the  pianist.  He 
was  there  elected  premier  on  Jan.  26,  1919, 
and  a  month  later  the  Allied  Council  at  Paris 
recognized  the  Polish  Republic  under  his 
leadership.  He  relinquished  his  office  in  1920, 
but  has  continued  politically  influential. 

His  opera  'Manru,'  produced  at  Dresden 
in  1901,  was  given  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House  in  New  York  on  Feb.  14,  1902.  His 
symphony  in  B  minor,  op.  24,  composed  in 
1904-08,  was  brought  out  by  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra  on  Feb.  13,  1909,  Max 
Fiedler  conducting.  The  three  movements 
are  in  commemoration  of  Poland,  and  the 
third  movement  refers  to  the  Polish  uprising 
of  1863-64.  It  is  said  that  he  has  deferred 
completing  a  fourth  movement  until  his 


country  is  free.  Other  works  are  a  Sonata 
in  E-flat  minor,  op.  21,  and  Variations  and 
Fugue,  op.  23,  both  for  piano.  His  second 
opera,  'Sakuntala,'  text  by  Catulle  Mendes, 
has  not  yet  been  produced.  See  biographies 
by  Finck,  1895,  Mossig  (Leipzig)  and  Bau- 
ghan,  1907,  besides  numerous  accounts  in 
magazines  and  general  treatises.  In  addition 
to  his  estate  at  Merges,  Switzerland,  he  owns 
two  others  near  Paso  Robles,  Cal.  [  R.8  ] 

PAGE,  NATHANIEL  CLIFFORD  (Oct. 
26,  1866,  San  Francisco),  inherited  musical 
aptitude  from  his  mother,  a  poetess  of  some 
note  and  an  amateur  musician.  At  fourteen 
the  cornet  attracted  his  attention,  later  giving 
way  to  the  French  horn.  But  even  earlier 
he  had  essayed  composition  and  the  writing 
of  libretti.  The  study  of  hafmony  was  taken 
up  under  local  teachers,  but  in  orchestration 
he  has  been  entirely  self-taught,  gaining 
experience  by  playing  in  and  directing  or- 
chestras. His  light  opera,  'The  First  Lieu- 
tenant,' was  successfully  produced  at  the 
old  Tivoli  Opera  House  in  San  Francisco 
in  May,  1889.  Seeking  a  wider  field,  he  came 
to  New  York  in  1895,  and  in  1896  directed 
his  Petite  Suite,  'Village  Scenes,'  for  the 
Manuscript  Society  in  Chickering  Hall.  In 
1899  he  was  called  to  London  to  conduct  his 
incidental  music  to  'The  Moonlight  Blossom' 
at  the  Prince  of  Wales  Theatre.  This  and 
incidental  music  to  'A  Japanese  Nightin- 
gale' (produced  in  1903  at  Daly's  Theatre, 
New  York)  were  based  on  real  Japanese 
themes.  He  has  studied  and  worked  in  various 
branches  of  Oriental  music  —  Japanese,  Chi- 
nese, Arabian,  etc.  After  composing  and  di- 
recting musical  comedies,  in  1905  he  joined 
the  editorial  staff  of  the  Ditson  Company  in 
Boston,  but  in  1910  returned  to  New  York 
to  devote  his  time  to  composition.  His 
later  works  include  the  operas  and  cantatas 
'The  Contest  of  the  Nations'  (1913),  'Alice 
in  Wonderland,'  'Old  Plantation-Days'  and 
'Lord  Howe's  Masquerade,'  'A  Mood  of 
Spring'  for  piano,  and  numerous  songs.  He 
has  revised  and  edited  Home-Songs,  Irish 
Songs,  Stephen  C.  Foster  Songs,  Panseron's 
A  B  C  of  Music,  and  several  hundred  pieces 
in  sheet-form.  Unpublished  are  'The  First 
Lieutenant,'  'Carlotta,'  'Villiers,'  'Zorahda,' 
'The  President'  and  several  musical  comedies; 
incidental  music  to  '  The  Cat  and  the  Cherub,' 
'The  Ghetto,'  'The  Moonlight  Blossom,' 
'A  Japanese  Nightingale,'  'Joan  of  the  Sword- 
Hand'  ;  the  orchestral  'Dream  Suite,'  'Village 
Scenes,'  'Fantasie  Symphonique  on  a  Short 
Theme,'  'Romance'  and  'Chop  Suey'  (Chi- 
nese Htimoresque) ;  and  many  songs.  [  R.7  ]

PAGEANTS,  HISTORICAL.  The  de- 
velopment of  symbolic  celebrations  in  England 
from  1905  under  the  lead  of  Gilbert  Parker 
inspired  numerous  efforts  of  a  somewhat 
similar  kind  in  America.  The  most  active 
worker  has  been  William  Langdon,  seconded 
by  Arthur  Farwell.  Since  1908  hardly  a  year 
has  been  without  some  significant  undertaking 
in  which  local  history  is  commemorated 
through  a  dramatic  spectacle  with  the  aid  of 
poetry  and  music.  (For  a  list  of  Langdon's 
productions,  see  Register,  10.)  All  the  great 
Expositions  have  included  features  of  this 
general  sort,  and  many  civic  functions  have 
been  elaborate.  There  has  been  a  tendency, 
especially  in  Langdon's  work,  to  emphasize 
the  merely  spectacular  elements  less  and  to 
mold  the  poetic  and  musical  into  better 
unity.  This  has  been  specially  notable  in 
some  celebrations  held  at  large  educational 
institutions.  See  The  Art  of  Music,  iv.  pp. 
226-9.

the  noted  makers  of  music-boxes  in  Ste.-Croix, 
Switzerland  (founded  in  1814).  The  New 
York  house  was  established  in  1850  by  M.  J. 
Paillard,  a  grandson  of  the  original  founder, 
at  first  as  Paillard  &  Martin.  Its  business 
was  greatly  developed  by  his  nephew  and  son.

Mass.).  See  Vol.  iii.  596-7.  Add  to  list  of 
works  the  string-quartet,  op.  5 ;  the  piano- 
trio,  op.  22 ;  the  sonata  for  violin  and  piano, 
op.  24 ;  the  Larghetto  and  Scherzo,  op.  32, 
for  'cello  and  piano ;  and  the  '  Duo  Con-

orchestra ;  besides  many  piano-pieces,  varia- 
tions and  fantasias  for  organ,  and  vocal  works. 
His  lectures  were  posthumously  edited  by 
Albert  A.  Howard  as  The  History  of  Music  to 
the  Death  of  Schubert,  1907.  [  R.5  ] 

PAINE,  RICHMOND  PECK  (Mar.  24, 
1858,  New  Bedford,  Mass.),  began  as  a  choir- 
boy and  by  1872  was  a  regular  organist.  He 
had  thorough  training  in  technique  and  com- 
position from  N.  H.  Allen,  then  organist  in 
New  Bedford,  and  began  recital-playing  about 
1876.  In  1878  he  succeeded  Henry  Wilson 
as  organist  at  Christ  Church  in  Hartford, 
Conn.,  from  1880  occupied  the  leading  position 
at  Meriden,  and  from  1885  a  similar  post  at 
New  Britain,  where  he  remained  twenty 
years.  Thus  was  satisfied  his  original  ambition 
of  winning  eminence  as  a  church-  and  concert- 
organist.  From  1883  he  was  associated  with 


W.  S.  Pratt  at  Hartford  in  developing  an 
oratorio  society,  succeeding  to  the  leadership 
there  in  1892  and  continuing  ten  years  with 
great  success.  As  early  as  1885,  however, 
he  had  begun  similar  work  elsewhere,  which 
gradually  extended  until  he  had  led  superior 
choral  performances  in  many  places  in  Con- 
necticut, such  as  Winsted,  Middletown,  New 
Britain,  Southington,  Wallingford  and  Wil- 
limantic,  and  in  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  often 
managing  festivals  with  combined  choirs. 
In  1905  he  was  called  to  conduct  the  exten- 
sive choral  enterprise  of  Carl  Stoeckel  at  Nor- 
folk, Conn,  (see  LITCHFIELD  COUNTY  CHORAL 
UNION),  where  he  continued  with  increasing 
renown  until  1915.  Since  his  retirement  he 
has  lived  at  Norfolk.  He  is  highly  gifted  as  an 
executive  musician,  with  a  notable  genius  for 
choral  leadership.  His  long  experience,  infalli- 
ble taste  and  high  ideals  have  given  him 
an  enviable  influence  and  reputation.  It  is 
unfortunate  that  he  has  not  chosen  to  express 
himself  in  composition.  [  R.6  ]

Yonkers,  N.  Y.),  was  brought  up  in  a  musical 
family  and  became  organist  at  seventeen. 
He  studied  at  the  Rushford  Academy  of  Music 
in  New  York,  becoming  director  in  1857,  and 
also  in  Berlin  and  Florence.  In  1861  he  settled 
in  Chicago,  where  he  established  the  magazine 
'Concordia'  in  1866,  and  published  The  Song- 
Queen,  1867  (over  200,000  sold)  and  The  Song- 
King,  1871  (also  an  enormous  sale) .  In  1874  he 
removed  to  New  York,  and  in  1881  took  charge 
of  the  Church  Choral  Union.  This  organi- 
zation, for  the  improvement  of  church-music, 
grew  to  over  4000  singers  in  its  third  season. 
In  1887  he  became  Dean  of  the  School  of 
Music  at  Chautauqua,  N.  Y.,  continuing 
until  1891.  He  was  made  Mus.D.  by  the 
(old)  University  of  Chicago  in  1880  and  by 
Alfred  University  in  1881.  Of  his  many 
choral  collections,  besides  those  named  above, 
The  Song-Herald  and  Concert-Choruses  were 
specially  successful.  He  wrote  a  Theory  of 
Music,  1876,  a  Manual  for  Teachers  (public- 
school  music),  etc.  [  R.4  ]

PARKER,  JAMES  CUTLER  DUNN 
(June  2,  1828,  Boston  :  Nov.  27,  1916, 
Brookline,  Mass.),  studied  law  in  Boston  for 
three  years  after  graduating  from  Harvard 
in  1848.  Then  his  preference  for  music  led 
him  to  go  in  1851  to  Leipzig,  where  he  spent 
three  years,  studying  piano  with  Moscheles 
and  Plaidy,  harmony  with  Richter  and  Rietz. 
Returning  in  1854,  he  was  active  in  Boston 
for  over  half  a  century,  retiring  in  1912.  In 
1864-91  he  was  organist  at  Trinity  Church, 
organist  of  the  Handel  and  Haydn  Society, 
in  1871-97  teacher  of  piano,  organ  and  har- 
mony at  the  New  England  Conservatory,  and 


for  a  time  at  Boston  University.  As  Elson 
remarks,  '  the  pupils  graduated  during  his  long 
era  of  activity  would  form  a  good-sized  regi- 
ment.' Among  them  are  Arthur  Whiting, 
A.  D.  Turner,  H.  M.  Dunham,  C.  H.  Morse  and

Francisco,  where  she  had  violin-lessons  with 
her  cousin,  Mr.  Conrad,  and  later  with  Henry 
Holmes.  Her  first  public  performance  there 
was  at  the  age  of  six.  On  March  23,  1905, 
she  gave  her  first  recital  at  Bechstein  Hall 
in  London,  later  appeared  with  the  London 
Symphony  Orchestra,  and  was  also  bidden 
to  play  before  the  Queen.  She  studied  with 
Auer  in  Petrograd  in  1906-07,  and  subse- 
quently played  in  Russia,  Scandinavia,  Ger- 
many, Holland  and  Belgium.  Her  first  ap- 
pearance on  her  return  to  America  was  late  in 
1910,  when  she  played  the  Tchaikovsky  con- 
certo with  the  Russian  Symphony  Orchestra. 
She  has  since  made  several  tours,  appearing 
with  the  principal  orchestras.  [  R.10  ]

hampton,  England).  See  articles  in  Vol.  iii. 
624-7  and  v.  657.  Mention  should  be  made 
of  his  late  works,  'A  Hymn  to  the  Nativity' 
(1912,  Hereford),  the  English  'Te  Deum' 
(1913,  Gloucester),  and  a  5th  Symphony, 
in  B  minor.  He  published  Style  in  Musical 
Art,  1911,  and  wrote  the  introduction  to  The 
Art  of  Music,  1914.  During  the  war  much 
of  his  time  and  energy  was  devoted  to  the 
Council  for  the  Relief  of  the  Professional 
Classes,  and  other  charities.  His  funeral 
was  at  St.  Paul's  on  Oct.  16,  1918.  In  the 
language  of  Hadow,  'There  was  no  side  of 
musical  life  in  England  which  was  not  the 
better  and  nobler  because  he  had  lived.' 

PARSONS,  ALBERT  ROSS  (Sept.  16,

and  about  1860  being  a  regular  organist  in 
Indianapolis.  From  1863  he  began  serious 
study  with  Ritter  in  New  York,  and  in  1867-69 
was  under  Moscheles,  Wenzel,  Reinecke, 
Papperitz  and  Richter  at  Leipzig,  and  in 
1870-72  with  Tausig,  Kullak  and  Weitzmann 
at  Berlin.  Since  1872  he  has  been  one  of  the

PEABODY  CONSERVATORY,  THE,  of 
Baltimore,  is  a  constituent  part  of  the  Peabody 
Institute,  founded  by  George  Peabody  in  1857, 
which  also  includes  a  great  Library  and  a 
fine  Art  Museum.  The  enterprise  did  not 
become  actual  till  after  the  Civil  War,  and  the 
Conservatory  was  not  opened  till  1868.  Its 
directors  have  been  Lucien  H.  Southard  in 
1868-71,  Asger  Hamerik  in  1871-98,  and 
Harold  Randolph  since  1898.  Part  of  the 
Conservatory  system  is  the  maintenance  of 
the  Peabody  Orchestra,  of  which  its  director 
is  conductor.  Hamerik  raised  these  concerts 
into  artistic  importance,  and  Randolph  has 
been  signally  successful  in  developing  the 
efficiency  of  the  Conservatory  proper.  The 
faculty  numbers  over  75.  The  number  of 
pupils  is  more  than  1700  annually,  and  about 
11,500  since  the  beginning.  Instruction  is 
given  in  every  branch  of  musical  art,  with  some 
language-courses  besides.  Since  about  1900 
a  distinct  preparatory  department  has  been 
in  operation,  of  which  May  G.  Evans  has  been 
superintendent.  There  are  three  student- 
orchestras,  with  over  100  members,  and 
choruses  with  over  200  members.  The  opera- 
class  presents  several  operas  each  year.  The 
Conservatory  has  an  arrangement  with  the

Johns  Hopkins  University  whereby  candidates 
for  the  B.S.  degree  in  the  latter  may  pursue 
certain  courses  in  the  former.  It  also  offers 
courses  which  are  counted  for  credit  in  the 
Baltimore  public  schools.  Students  in  the 
Conservatory  have  the  chance  of  attending 
over  250  recitals  and  concerts  each  year, 
including  20  artist-recitals  and  about  15 
organ-recitals.  The  library  contains  nearly 
2500  volumes,  and  the  institution  owns  many 
instruments,  including  5  organs  and  a  full 
set  of  orchestral  instruments.  It  occupies 
a  large  part  of  the  Institute  Building  on  Monu- 
ment Square  and  also  three  annex-houses. 

PEACE  JUBILEES,  THE,  were  large 
popular  festivals  planned  and  directed  by 
the  band-master  P.  S.  Gilmore  and  held  in 
Boston.  The  first,  in  1869,  was  meant  to 
celebrate  the  return  of  peace  after  the  Civil 
War.  There  was  an  orchestra  of  1000  and 
a  chorus  of  10,000,  with  many  other  sensational 
features.  The  second,  in  1872,  based  on  the 
idea  of  'world  peace,'  was  still  more  unwieldy 
and  spectacular  in  design.  The  first  was 
effective  in  arousing  genuine  popular  en- 
thusiasm, but  the  second  was  much  less 
significant,  though  more  pretentious.  In 
1873  Gilmore  held  another  Jubilee  at  Chicago 
in  celebration  of  its  rebuilding  after  the  fire 
of  1871.  See  Gilmore,  History  of  the  National 
Peace  Jubilee  and  Great  Musical  Festival,  1877,

at  the  "General  Theological  Seminary  in  New 
York,  at  the  Peabody  Institute  and  Johns 
Hopkins  University  in  Baltimore,  and  gave 
lectures  and  recitals  in  many  other  cities. 
From  1874  he  was  musical  editor  of  the  New 
York  'Evening  Post,'  and  contributed  to  'The 
Musical  Courier,'  the  Encyclopaedia  Americana 
and  various  periodicals.  He  edited  a  Dic- 
tionary of  Musical  Terms  in  21  Languages, 
piano-music,  and  much  church-music.  He 
composed  the  three-act  children's  opera  'La 
Belle  Americaine,'  the  oratorio  'Celestial 


Visions,'  the  cantata  'The  Psalm  of  Praise,'

PERRY,  EDWARD  BAXTER  (Feb.  14, 
1855,  Haverhill,  Mass.),  has  been  sightless 
since  infancy,  but  has  nevertheless  achieved  re- 
markable success  as  student,  artist  and  teacher. 
After  having  graduated  from  the  public 
schools  of  Medford  in  1871,  he  studied  piano 
with  J.  W.  Hill  in  Boston,  besides  specializing 
in  English  literature.  In  1875  he  went  abroad 
for  further  general  and  musical  education  at 
Berlin  and  Stuttgart.  His  piano-study  was  with 
Kullak,  Pruckner  and  Clara  Schumann,  and 
in  1878  he  was  with  Liszt  at  Weimar  in  the 
summer.  Besides  playing  somewhat  in  public, 
he  kept  up  diligent  literary,  historical  and 
philosophical  studies.  In  1881-83  he  taught 
at  Oberlin  College,  and  in  1883-85  he  was 
again  in  Europe.  Since  1885  he  has  been 
chiefly  occupied  with  numerous  and  varied 
lecture-recitals  in  all  parts  of  the  country. 
Up  to  1917  he  had  thus  appeared  more  than 
3300  times.  In  1897-98  he  engaged  in  concer- 
tizing  in  Europe.  Since  1917  he  has  been  di- 
rector of  music  and  dean  of  fine  arts  at  the 
Woman's  College  in  Montgomery,  Ala.  He  has 
written  Descriptive  Analysis  of  Piano-Works 
and  Stories  of  Standard  Teaching-Pieces,  with 
perhaps  300  articles  for  magazines.  Best 
known  among  his  piano-pieces  are  a  Reverie, 
a  Nocturne,  an  Impromptu,  a  'Mazurka 
Caprice'  and  'Why?'  (Schmidt),  'Autumn 
Reverie,'  'The  Portent,'  '^Eolienne'  and  'The 
Ballade  of  Last  Island'  (Presser),  with  several

studies.  His  most  important  unpublished 
work  is  the  'Melusine'  Suite,  founded  on  a 
legend  in  the  family  of  Prince  Lusignan. 
This  led  the  latter  to  confer  on  him  the  title 
of  'Chevalier  de  Melusine'  (1898).  In  his 
works,  as  in  his  explanatory  lectures,  he  exalts 
poetic  significance  more  than  technical 
structure.  [  R.7  ]

PERSINGER,  LOUIS  (Feb.  11,  1887, 
Rochester,  111.),  spent  his  early  years  in 
Oklahoma  and  Colorado,  where  he  had  some 
lessons  on  violin  and  piano.  In  1900,  aided 
by  the  late  W.  S.  Stratton,  he  began  serious 
study  in  Leipzig,  having  violin  under  Becker, 
and  piano,  theory  and  conducting  under 
Nikisch,  and  graduated  from  the  Conservatory 
with  the  highest  honors  in  1904.  Nikisch 
called  him  'one  of  the  most  talented  pupils' 
they  had  ever  had.  After  a  year  of  concert- 
work  in  America,  he  had  two  years  at  Brussels 
under  Ysaye.  In  1907  he  was  concertmaster 
of  the  Opera  Orchestra  there  at  its  Vauxhall 
concerts,  and  in  1908  of  the  Bliithner  Or- 
chestra in  Berlin.  Returning  then  to  America, 
he  taught  for  a  few  months  in  Winnipeg,  but 
in  1909-11  concertized  in  Germany,  Austria 
and  Denmark  with  such  success  that  in  1912-13 
he  made  a  brilliant  tour  in  the  United  States, 
appearing  with  all  the  leading  orchestras  from 
New  York  to  San  Francisco.  Another  season 
of  concerts  in  Europe  was  followed  in  1914-15 
by  service  as  concertmaster  for  the  Philhar-

PHILADELPHIA  MUSICAL  ACADEMY, 
THE,  was  founded  in  1870  by  John  F.  Himmel- 
bach,  who  remained  its  director  till  1876, 
when  he  was  succeeded  by  Richard  Zeckwer. 
In  1915  the  latter  was  joined  in  the  manage- 
ment by  his  son,  Camille  Zeckwer,  and  since 
1917  the  latter  has  been  director  with  Fred- 
erick E.  Hahn  and  Charlton  L.  Murphy.  The 
Academy  has  had  notable  success.  The 
faculty  includes  over  50  teachers,  and  the 
student-enrolment  is  about  800  in  the  main 
school,  besides  three  branches  in  different 
parts  of  the  city.  The  total  number  enrolled 
since  the  beginning  is  over  26,000.  In  1917 
the  Academy  was  combined  with  the  Hahn 
Conservatory.  It  has  arrangements  with 
other  schools  for  special  advantages  in 
language-study  and  in  dramatic  art. 

PHILADELPHIA  SYMPHONY  OR- 
CHESTRA, THE.  See  article  in  Vol.  iv. 
805-6.  Karl  Pohlig  continued  as  conductor 
until  1912,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  Leopold 
Stokowski,  previously  of  Cincinnati.  Under 
the  latter  the  Orchestra  has  added  laurels  to 
its  fine  reputation.  Since  1908  the  num- 
ber of  players  has  been  80  or  more.  Popular 
concerts  were  added  to  the  regular  series  in 
1915,  and  in  1916  a  movement  started  for  a 
large  permanent  fund.  Since  1914  the  Or- 
chestra has  regularly  played  in  New  York, 
now  giving  five  concerts  there  each  year. 
Among  the  new  works  brought  out  have  been 
Pohlig's  Symphonic  Poem,  'Per  Aspera  ad 
Astra'  (1908),  Volbach's  Symphony  in  B 
minor  (1910),  Rabaud's  2nd  Symphony 
(1913),  Schonberg's  'Kammersymphonie' 
(1915),  Sandby's  Concerto  in  D,  for  'cello 
(1916),  Zeckwer's  Symphonic  Poem,  'Sohrab 
and  Rustum'  (1916),  Mahler's  8th  Symphony, 
with  large  choral  forces  (1916,  three  times  and 
in  New  York),  Elgar's  music  to  Cammaerts' 
'Le  Drapeau  Beige'  (1918),  Gardner's  Sym-

Safonov  continued  as  conductor  till  1909, 
succeeded  by  Gustav  Mahler  in  1909-11,  who 
wrought  a  thorough  change  in  discipline, 
bringing  the  orchestra  to  the  highest  state  of 
finish.  His  illness  and  death  led  to  the 
employment  of  Theodore  Spiering  as  sub- 
stitute in  1911.  Since  1911  the  regular  leader 
has  been  Josef  Stransky,  who  has  greatly 
commended  himself.  The  size  of  the  band 
under  Safonov  was  125,  but  was  reduced  to 
100  under  Mahler.  In  1912  the  Society 
received  a  bequest  of  $1,000,000  from  the  late 
Joseph  Pulitzer.  In  1917  it  celebrated  its 
75th  anniversary  with  extended  festival 
performances,  and  $110,000  was  contributed 
toward  a  building-fund.  Leopold  Kramer 
was  concertmaster  in  1913-17  and  Alfred 
Megerlin  since  1917.  Out  of  many  new  works 
produced  may  be  mentioned  Mahler's  1st  and 
5th  Symphonies  (1909,  '11),  Bizet's  'Roma' 
Suite  (1911),  Weingartner's  3rd  Symphony 
and  'Merry  Overture'  (1911,  '12),  Korngold's 
'Overture  to  a  Play'  (1912),  Ritter's  'Olaf's 
Wedding-Dance'  (1912),  Reger's  'Romantic' 
and  'Ballet'  Suites  (1913),  Ropartz'  4th 
Symphony  and  'La  Chasse  du  Prince  Arthur' 
(1914),  Bloch's  1st  Symphony  (1918),  Wilson's 
Suite  'From  my  Youth'  (1918),  Rogers'  'To 
the  Fallen,'  Dvorak's  3rd  Symphony,  and 
Schmitt's  'Rhapsodie  Viennoise'  (all  1919). 

An  early  society  of  this  name  was  formed 
in  1800  by  the  union  of  the  St.  Cecilia  and 
Harmonical  Societies.  How  long  it  continued 
is  not  clear.

at  Oxford,  England,  had  early  training  at 
Peterborough  Cathedral,  and  at  sixteen  was 
organist  at  St.  Andrew's  (Kensington)  in 
London.  Later  he  was  musical  scholar  and 
organist  at  Caius  College  in  Cambridge,  where 
he  became  Mus.B.  and  A.M.  He  then 
played  at  the  Duchess  of  Albany's  church  at 
Esher  in  Surrey  and  at  St.  Andrews  (Holborn) 
in  London,  becoming  also  fellow  of  the  R.  C.  O. 
In  1903  he  came  to  Toronto  as  organist  at  St. 
Paul's,  and  thence  went  in  1906  to  Baltimore 
to  be  head  of  the  organ-department  and 
lecturer  on  music-history  at  the  Peabody 
Conservatory,  where  he  gave  annual  series 
of  recitals.  From  1914  he  was  organist  at 
the  First  Church  (Scientist)  and  critic  on

PHONOGRAPH.  Edison's  invention  by 
this  name  (1876)  was  the  first  to  both  record 
and  reproduce  complex  sounds  mechanically. 
Its  primary  purpose  was  to  transmit  speech- 
sounds.  But  it  was  speedily  extended  by 
Edison  and  others  to  every  sort  of  musical 
effect.  Especially  since  1900  and  through  the 
persistent  ingenuity  of  American  inventors, 
this  general  type  of  mechanical  reproducer 
has  become  artistically  significant.  The 
process  differs  from  that  of  the  player-piano 
in  that  no  actual  musical  instrument  is  em- 
ployed in  reproduction  and  that  the  user  has 
little  expressional  control. 

The  'records'  employed  are  ordinarily  disks 
of  hard  rubber,  on  the  face  of  which  inden- 
tations corresponding  to  the  vibrations  of  the 
original  effect  are  made  by  a  stylus  connected 
with  a  sensitive  receiver.  These  records, 
mounted  on  a  revolving  spindle  propelled  by 
a  motor,  are  traversed  by  a  'needle'  of  some 
special  material  (wood,  fibre  or  a  jewel)  that  is 
connected  with  a  delicate  '  diaphragm '  like  that 
of  the  telephone,  which  is  thus  thrown  into 
vibrations  like  those  of  the  original  receiver. 
These  vibrations,  conducted  through  a  'tone- 
arm,'  are  made  sonorous  by  passing  out  through

a  resonant  projector  of  some  form.  Intensity 
is  controlled  by  shutters  or  doors,  and  some 
modification  of  tone-quality  is  usually  possible. 
But  changes  of  speed  affect  the  total  pitch. 

Although  much  employed  for  coarse  effects, 
instruments  of  this  class  have  also  been  applied 
with  extraordinary  success  to  recording  su- 
perior vocal  and  instrumental  performances, 
both  solo  and  in  ensemble.  The  best  of  these 
achievements  are  invaluable  as  historic  records

PIANOFORTE.  See  article  in  Vol.  iii. 
716-32,  especially  notes  regarding  American 
contributions  to  the  instrument  on  pp.  726-30. 
Spillane  (History  of  the  American  Pianoforte, 
1890)  seems  to  have  shown  that  in  many 
small  details  American  makers  were  even 
earlier  or  more  ingenious  than  is  there  in- 
dicated. The  intimate  relation  between  Eng- 
land and  America  led  to  a  prompt  interchange 
of  mechanical  ideas  as  well  as  of  actual  work- 
men, so  that  the  two  countries  cannot  be 
regarded  apart.  In  the  earlier  sections  of 
the  REGISTER  notes  are  given  as  to  Behrenti 
Hesselius,  Albrecht,  Crehore,  Taws,  Van  Hagen, 
the  Babcocks,  Bacon,  Bourne,  Chickering, 
Clark,  Dubois,  Dunham,  Firth,  the  Geibs,  the 
Gilberts,  Hawkins,  Hiskey,  Knabe,  Lindeman, 
the  Louds,  Mackay,  Meyer,  the  Nunnses,  Os- 
born,  Schomacker,  Stewart,  Stodart,  Wise,  etc. 
—  all  of  whom  worked  at  least  as  early  as 
1840.  The  attention  given  to  piano-making  in 
America  before  1850  is  both  a  symptom  and 
a  cause  of  musical  interest.  After  1850  Amer- 
ican pianos  began  to  acquire  something  of  the 
international  prominence  that  they  now  have, 


one  of  the  striking  factors  being  the  enter- 
prise of  Stein  way  after  1853. 

The  enormous  expansion  of  the  industry 
of  piano-making  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  over 
300  establishments  are  now  in  operation  (not 
counting  those  merely  occupied  in  making 
parts  and  fittings),  employing  towards  30,000 
workmen.  The  census  of  1910  placed  the 
annual  output  at  that  time  at  about  375,000 
instruments,  of  which  nearly  9000  were  grands. 
The  value  of  this  annual  output  was  put  at 
about  $60,000,000.  It  is  not  likely  that  the 
number  of  separate  concerns  has  much  in- 
creased, but  the  amount  of  production  is  cer- 
tainly greater.  See  Am.  History  and  Encyclo- 
pedia of  Music,  '  American  Music,'  pp.  314-26. 

Since  1900  the  whole  field  of  piano-making 
has  been  greatly  modified  by  the  multiplication 
of  automatic  devices  for  playing,  chiefly  those 
contained  within  the  instrument  (see  PLAYER- 
PIANO).  These  have  now  been  adopted  by 
practically  all  makers,  with  numerous  special 
points  of  interest  in  each  case.  This  in- 
novation has  greatly  extended  the  range  of 
the  market  for  pianos.  Whether  or  not  it 
has  affected  the  character  of  their  artistic 
use  remains  an  open  question.  The  me- 
chanical difficulties  of  introducing  'playing' 
attachments  have  been  so  well  overcome  that 
they  no  longer  need  take  away  from  an  in- 
strument's essentially  artistic  quality. 

Details  regarding  many  leading  piano-makers 
are  given  in  separate  articles.

PILCHER'S  SONS,  HENRY,  of  Louisville, 
Ky.,  is  an  organ-making  business  that  has  had 
a  long  history.  Henry  Pilcher,  Sr.  (d.  1880), 
began  making  organs  in  London  in  1820.  In 
1832  he  came  to  New  York  and  for  many  years 
was  associated  with  Henry  Erben.  His  son, 
Henry  Pilcher,  Jr.  (1828-91),  after  training  in 
New  York,  about  1850  established  himself  in 
St.  Louis,  in  1861  moved  to  Chicago,  and,  after 
the  great  fire  of  1871,  went  to  Louisville, 
making  a  fine  record  for  conscientious  work  in 
each  city.  Since  1884  the  firm,  now  carried  on 
by  Robert  E.  and  William  E.  Pilcher,  has 
developed  a  large,  fully-equipped  factory. 
One  of  its  largest  four-manual  organs  is  in  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Atlanta.

PIRANI,  EUGENIO  DI  (Sept.  8,  1852, 
Ferrara,  Italy),  was  the  son  of  a  teacher  of 
languages  in  Berlin.  His  general  education 
was  in  Venice  and  much  of  his  musical  training 
at  the  Rossini  Conservatory  in  Bologna. 
He  also  studied  piano  with  Kullak  at  Berlin 
and  composition  with  Kiel.  In  1873-83  he 
taught  in  the  Kullak  Academy  and  toured 
as  pianist  on  the  Continent  and  in  England. 
He  had  an  important  part  in  the  Cristofori 
Commemoration  in  Florence,  became  a 
member  of  several  Academies  and  received 
numerous  decorations.  In  1888  he  was  head 
of  the  German  committee  for  the  International 
Music  Exhibition  at  Bologna.  In  1898-1901 
he  was  critic  for  the  'Kleines  Journal'  in 
Berlin.  In  1901-06  he  toured  in  both  Europe 
and  America  with  the  soprano  Alma  Webster 
Powell,  with  whom  in  1904  he  founded  a 
Musical  Institute  in  Brooklyn  which  they 
still  direct.  He  became  an  American  citizen 
in  1916.  He  has  written  the  operas  'Das 
Hexenlied'  (1902,  Prague)  and  'Black  Blood' 
(1904)  ;  a  'Scene  Veneziane,'  op.  44,  for  piano 
and  orchestra  (1892)  ;  the  symphonic  poems 
'Fete  au  Chateau,'  op.  43  (1901),  'Woodland' 
and  'Belshazzar' ;  'Airs  Bohemiens,'  op.  35, 
for  orchestra ;  and  many  lesser  instrumental 
and  vocal  works.  His  High-School  of  Piano- 
Playing,  1908  (4th  ed.,  1918),  includes  6tudes 
that  have  been  highly  praised.  [  R.9  ]

PLAYER-PIANO.  See  article  on  Auto- 
matic Appliances  in  Vol.  i.  133-8.  American 
inventors  have  been  remarkably  energetic 
and  successful  in  perfecting  devices  to  operate 
pianos  mechanically,  so  that  these  are  now  in 
use  throughout  the  world.  The  earlier  effort 
was  to  make  'piano-players'  —  instruments 
apart  from  the  piano  itself.  These  were  soon 
steadily  replaced  by  mechanisms  enclosed 
within  the  piano-case  —  whence  the  name 
'player-piano.'  The  essential  principles  of 
the  two  types  are  similar.  The  motive  power 
is  pneumatic,  secured  through  an  exhaust- 
bellows  operated  either  by  the  feet  or  by  an 
electric  motor.  This  propels  the  'music-roll' 
(a  paper-strip  perforated  with  slots  for  the 
notes  of  a  particular  piece  and  often  for 
variations  in  tempo  or  force)  and  actuates 
the  mechanical  units  affecting  the  action  of 
the  hammers.  The  number  of  units  was  at 
first  44,  then  6'5  or  72,  and  is  now  usually  88, 
corresponding  to  the  full  compass  of  the  key- 
board. Each  unit  connects  by  a  tube  with  an 
opening  in  the  'tracker-bar,'  over  which  the 
music-roll  passes,  and  is  put  in  action  only 
when  a  slot  in  the  roll  matches  with  the  open- 
ing. The  tempo  is  set  or  varied  by  controlling 
the  movement  of  the  roll,  but  the  force  of  the 
hammer-blow  is  governed  by  special  arrange- 
ments associated  with  the  operative  units. 
These  'expression-devices'  are  directed  either 
by  levers  controlled  by  the  player's  hands  or 
automatically  through  the  roll. 

The  tendency  is  for  each  piano-maker  to 
develop  his  own  type  of  'player,'  all  aiming 
to  secure  extreme  rapidity,  certainty,  delicacy 
and  noiselessness  of  action.  The  eager  com- 
petition between  inventors  has  lifted  the 
whole  enterprise  into  artistic  importance. 
Many  companies  have  been  organized  to  make 
'player-actions'  that  can  be  installed  in  various 
makes  of  pianos.  Such  actions  are  also  being 
widely  applied  to  pipe-organs,  even  of  the 
largest  class,  as  well  as  to  orchestrions.  Below 
is  a  list  of  some  of  the  trade-names  by  which 
*  player-mechanisms'  are  known,  with  the

POLACCO,  GIORGIO  (Apr.  12,  1875, 
Venice,  Italy),  as  a  boy  studied  in  Petrograd, 
continuing  under  Coccon  at  the  Liceo  Marcello 
in  Milan,  where  he  later  graduated  from  the 
Verdi  Conservatory.  He  at  once  began  a 
career  as  operatic  conductor,  first  in  London, 
for  a  few  years  in  Milan  and  Rome  and  for 
several  more  at  Buenos  Aires  and  Rio  de 
Janeiro.  He  also  was  guest-conductor  at 
Lisbon,  Warsaw,  Petrograd  and  Mexico  City. 
In  1906  he  appeared  at  San  Francisco,  and  in 
1911-12,  at  Puccini's  request,  he  had  charge 
of  Savage's  productions  of  his  'Girl  of  the 
Golden  West:'  From  1912  he  was  one  of  the 
valued  leaders  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House  in  New  York.  In  1915  he  replaced 
Toscanini  at  the  latter's  breakdown  in  health, 
and  then  succeeded  as  chief  conductor.  Since 


1918  he  has  been  with  the  Chicago  Opera 
Company.  His  repertoire  includes  more  than 
150  operas  —  Italian,  French,  Russian  and 
Wagnerian.  He  has  often  been  chosen  to 
bring  out  new  Italian  works,  as,  for  example, 
Mascagni's  'L'Amico  Fritz'  in  1891.  [  R.9  ]

POND,  WILLIAM  A.,  &  COMPANY,  is  the 
firm-name  assumed  in  1867  for  the  business  of 
piano-making  and  dealing  in  music  and 
instruments  originally  established  in  1821  by 
John  Firth  and  William  Hall.  In  1832  they 
were  joined  by  S.  B.  Pond,  previously  of 
Albany,  who  continued  till  1850,  when  his 
son,  William  A.  Pond  (d.  1885),  came  in, 
ultimately  succeeded  by  William  A.  Pond, 
Jr.  The  making  of  pianos  early  ceased  to 
be  a  feature  of  the  business,  but  publishing 
and  dealing  in  musical  merchandise  of  all 
sorts  have  been  conspicuous.

POWELL,  ALMA  WEBSTER,  nee  Hall 
(Nov.  20,  1874,  Chicago),  after  early  experience 
as  soprano,  from  1901  studied  with  Pirani  in 
Berlin,  making  her  debut  there  in  '  II  Barbiere 
di  Siviglia'  and  taking  the  part  of  Renata  at 
the  first  performance  of  Pirani' s  'Hexenlied' 
in  1902  at  Prague.  She  toured  with  him  in 
Europe  and  America  till  1906,  but  also  in  1904 
joined  him  in  establishing  a  Musical  Institute 
in  Brooklyn  which  they  still  continue.  Mean- 
while she  took  courses  with  Rybner  at  Colum- 
bia University,  where  she  gained  a  Mus. 
B.  in  1910,  M.A.  in  1911,  and  Ph.D.  in 
1914  (the  last  in  political  science).  Since 
1914  she  has  given  her  chief  attention  to 
lecture-recitals,  especially  in  colleges  and 
universities.  She  is  author  of  an  Advanced 
School  of  Vocal  Art,  1911.  [  R.9  ] 

POWELL,  JOHN  (Sept.  6,  1882,  Rich-

University  of  Virginia  in  1901,  first  studied 
the  piano  with  his  sister,  Mrs.  Brockenbrough, 
and  F.  C.  Hahr.  In  1902-07  he  continued 
with  Leschetizky  in  Vienna  and  in  1904-07 
took  composition  under  Navratil.  He  first 
appeared  as  pianist  with  the  Tonkiinstler 
Orchestra  in  November,  1907,  and  then  for 
several  years  toured  widely  in  Germany, 
France  and  England.  In  1912  he  appeared

at  Richmond  and  in  1913  in  New  York. 
Since  then  he  has  been  heard  throughout  the 
country,  often  with  the  principal  orchestras, 
always  with  notable  success.  His  com- 
positions bid  fair  to  attract  as  much  attention 
as  his  playing,  especially  as  he  has  made 
striking  and  effective  use  of  Negro  themes 
and  other  folk-song  material.  The  list  in- 
cludes 

'Sonata  Virginesque,'  op.  7,  for  violin  and  piano  —

chestral accompaniment  which  she  introduced 
in  America  include  Saint-Saens'  Concerto 
No.  2,  in  C,  Tchaikovsky's  Concerto,  Dvorak's

and  'Concerto  Russe,'  Sibelius'  Concerto  in 
D  minor,  Coleridge-Taylor's  Concerto  and 
Bruch's  Concert-Stuck.  She  has  also  brought 
forward  many  works  by  Foote,  Mrs.  Beach, 
Herbert,  Saar,  Kramer,  Bergh,  Tirindelli,  Bur- 
leigh,  Grace  White,  Hartmann  and  Cadman. 
Violin-arrangements  or  transcriptions  by  her 
are  published  by  Ditson,  Schirmer,  Breitkopf, 
Carl  Fischer  and  Schuberth. 

From  1905  she  made  annual  concert-tours  in 
America.  A  recent  phase  of  her  work  was  giving 
recitals  in  soldiers'  camps  throughout  the  coun- 
try. This  disclosed  a  gratifying  preference  on 
the  part  of  the  men  for  a  better  class  of  music 
than  had  at  first  been  prescribed.  Her  death 
was  extremely  sudden,  due  to  illness  while 
on  tour.  [  R.7  ]

Portland,  Me.,  by  G.  W.  Marston  in  piano, 
organ  and  harmony.  In  1873  he  went  to 
California,  continuing  in  counterpoint  and 
composition  with  J.  P.  Morgan.  Still  later, 
at  Leipzig,  after  taking  piano  with  Wenzel, 
Coccius  and  Zwintscher,  and  theory  with  Ja- 
dassohn,  Alfred  Richter  and  Paul,  he  graduated 
from  the  Conservatory  in  1881.  Returning 
then  to  the  Pacific  Coast,  he  taught  theory 
at  Mills  College  for  a  time  and  at  the  King 
Conservatory  in  San  Jose,  and  has  been 
organist  at  the  Church  of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin 
(P.  E.)  and  .the  First  Jewish  Synagogue  in 
San  Francisco,  besides  serving  many  years 
at  the  Old  People's  Home  and  for  Masonic 
bodies.  He  became  a  fellow  of  the  A.  G.  O. 
in  1888,  and  in  1915  dean  of  the  Northern 
California  Chapter,  as  well  as  president  of 
the  Musicians'  Club  in  San  Francisco  in 
1902-03  and  1910-13.  He  has  written  a  piano- 
trio  in  G,  church-music  and  songs.  [  R.7  ] 

PRATT,  SILAS  GAMALIEL  (Aug.  4, 
1846,  Addison,  Vt.  :  Oct.  30,  1916,  Pitts- 
burgh), was  brought  up  in  Chicago,  where  he 
was  early  a  clerk  in  music-stores  and  began 
training  himself  in  music.  In  1868,  going  to 
Berlin,  he  took  piano  under  Bendel  and  Kullak, 
and  theory  and  composition  under  Wiierst 
and  Kiel.  Injury  to  his  wrists  checked  his 
ambitions  for  a  pianistic  career  and  led  him 
to  emphasize  composition.  His  orchestral 
'Magdalene's  Lament'  (in  one  movement) 
and  the  lyric  opera  'Antonio'  date  from  this 
early  time.  In  1871  he  became  organist  at 
the  Church  of  the  Messiah  in  Chicago,  and  in 
1872  he  was  active  in  organizing  the  Apollo 
Club.  In  1875-77  he  was  again  in  Germany, 
studying  piano  with  Liszt  and  score-reading 
with  Dorn.  His  'Centennial'  Overture  was 
given  on  July  4,  1876,  in  Berlin  under  his 
direction  and  later  at  the  Crystal  Palace  in 
London.  In  1878  he  gave  symphony-concerts 
in  Chicago,  and  in  1882  his  opera  'Zenobia' 
was  there  brought  out,  In  1885  he  produced 
his  'Prodigal  Son'  symphony  and  selections 
from  'Zenobia'  at  the  Crystal  Palace.  In 
1887  the  opera  'Antonio*  (revised  as  'Lucille') 
was  given  in  Chicago.  In  1888-1902  he 
taught  in  New  York,  and  in  1906  established 
an  Institute  in  Pittsburgh.  His  other  operas 
were  'The  Triumph  of  Columbus,'  in  five  acts 
(1892,  New  York)  and  'Ollanta,'  in  six  acts, 
the  libretto  by  himself.  He  also  wrote  a 
'Lincoln'  Symphony,  the  symphonic  poems 
'  Sandalphon '  and  '  A  Tragedy  of  the  Deep '  (on 
the  'Titanic'  disaster),  two  suites,  a  'Reverie' 
and  other  orchestral  works,  the  cantata  'The 
Last  Inca,'  many  choruses,  songs,  etc.  He 
was  author  of  Lincoln  in  Story,  1901,  and 
The  Pianist's  Mental  Velocity,  1903.  [  R.6  ]

PRESSER,  THEODORE  (July  3,  1848, 
Pittsburgh),  was  an  early  student  at  the  New 
England  Conservatory  in  Boston,  studying 
there  with  Emery,  Whiting,  Parker,  Hill  and 
Lang,  and  later  at  the  Leipzig  Conservatory. 
He  first  taught  at  the  Ohio  Wesleyan  Uni- 
versity, at  Xenia  College  in  Ohio  and  at 
Hollins  Institute  in  Virginia.  In  1876  he 
was  the  leader  in  the  group  that  founded  the 
M.T.N.A.  at  Delaware,  O.  While  in  Vir- 
ginia he  started  'The  Etude,'  which  in  1884 
he  moved  to  Philadelphia  and  which  'there 
speedily  grew  to  an  immense  circulation. 
He  also  rapidly  built  up  an  extensive  music- 
business,  which  is  now  one  of  the  largest  in 
the  country.  In  1906  he  established  the 
Presser  Home  for  Retired  Music-Teachers, 
which  is  now  part  of  the  extensive  Presser 
Foundation  (see  following  articles).  He  has 
written  some  piano-studies  and  other  teaching- 
material,  and  has  translated  musical  text- 
books. [  R.5  ] 

PRESSER  FOUNDATION,  THE,  of  Phil- 
adelphia, was  created  in  1916  by  Theodore 
Presser  to  care  for  various  philanthropic  en- 
terprises in  which  he  had  long  been  inter- 
ested. Its  field  comprises  at  present  the  man- 
agement of  the  Presser  Home  (see  below), 
the  giving  of  scholarships  to  needy  musical 
students  and  the  help  of  deserving  musicians 
in  special  emergencies.  Scholarships  are  now 
offered  in  over  75  institutions,  scattered 
through  27  States,  about  one-eighth  being 
in  the  Middle  States,  one-quarter  in  the  South 
and  the  remainder  in  the  Interior  or  the  West. 
Most  of  the  institutions  are  colleges,  but  a 
few  are  of  university  grade.  Candidates  are 
selected  by  the  officers  of  the  college  in  each 
case.  The  relief  work  is  designed  to  aid  those 
whose  need  and  worthiness  are  fully  established. 
The  whole  purpose  of  the  Foundation,  then,  is 
to  minister  to  the  welfare  of  music-teachers 
as  a  class,  both  beginners  and  veterans.  The 
present  funds  of  the  Foundation  amount  to 
more  than  $1,000,000.  The  president  is 
James  Francis  Cooke. 

PRESSER  HOME  FOR  RETIRED  MU- 
SIC-TEACHERS, THE,  of  Philadelphia,  is 
a  unique  enterprise  in  America,  founded  in 
1906  by  Theodore  Presser.  Its  only  parallel 
is  the  Verdi  Casa  di  Riposa  in  Milan.  Under 
certain  conditions,  including  the  payment  of 
$200,  musicians  without  regard  to  creed  or 
nationality,  men  or  women,  who  are  sixty-five 
years  old  and  have  taught  music  in  the  United 
States  for  not  less  than  twenty-five  years,  can 
be  admitted.  Up  to  1919  there  had  been  53 
admissions,  11  men  and  42  women,  represent- 
ing 21  States  and  also  Canada.  Several  have 
here  come  to  the  end  of  their  days  in  peace. 


The~Home  is  now  established  in  a  superbly  ap- 
pointed building  in  Germantown.  Its  capacity 
is  about  65.

PREYER,  CARL  ADOLPH  (July  28, 
1863,  Pforzheim,  Germany),  gave  his  first 
piano-recital  at  thirteen.  He  studied  at  the 
Stuttgart  Conservatory,  then  with  Navratil 
in  Vienna  and  with  Urban  and  Barth  in  Berlin. 
In  1884  he  came  to  America.  In  1889-91  he 
was  music-director  at  Baker  University  in 
Kansas,  and  since  1893  has  been  professor 
of  piano  and  composition  in  the  University 
of  Kansas,  becoming  in  1915  associate-dean 
of  Fine  Arts.  As  pianist  he  has  appeared  with 
leading  orchestras.  His  piano-works  include 
a  Theme  with  Variations,  op.  32,  a  'Nor-

the  discovery  that  led  to  the  later  reed-organ. 
After  having  made  about  75,000  instruments 
of  both  the  old  and  new  types,  in  1875  the

solved.

PROTHEROE,  DANIEL  (Nov.  24,  1866, 
Ystradgyniais,  Wales),  attended  the  Normal 
College  in  Swansea,  early  became  a  com- 
petitor in  eisteddfods,  and  organized  his  first 
choral  society  at  sixteen.  Coming  to  Scranton, 
Pa.,  in  1886,  he  there  started  the  Cymrodorion 
Musical  Society  (250  voices).  In  1894  he 
moved  to  Milwaukee,  where  in  1899  he  be- 
came conductor  of  the  Arion  Male  Chorus. 
Since  1904  he  has  been  increasingly  active  also 
in  Chicago,  where  he  makes  his  home.  He 
is  music-director  at  the  Central  Church,  at 
the  Loring  Institute  and  at  the  Chicago 
Training  College,  besides  teaching  at  the 
Sherwood  Music  School  and  leading  more 
than  one  choral  society.  His  talent  as  chorus- 
conductor  has  led  to  his  being  several  times 
one  of  the  chief  judges  at  the  National  Eis- 
teddfod in  Wales,  as  well  as  in  competitions 
in  America.  In  1890  he  became  Mus.B.  of 
Toronto  University  and  in  1905  Mus.D.  of

PUBLIC  SCHOOLS,  MUSIC  IN  THE. 
What  is  now  known  as  'the  public  school 
system'  of  the  United  States  is  only  about  a 
century  old.  Its  establishment  and  the 
working  out  of  its  details  were  processes  that 
occupied  much  time  and  engaged  the  efforts 
of  many  workers  during  the  last  decades  of 
the  18th  and  the  early  part  of  the  19th  cen- 
turies. From  the  earliest  days,  however,  the 
colonists  had  been  alive  to  the  importance 
of  general  education,  as  is  shown  by  the  found- 
ing of  'colleges'  and  some  'academies,'  as 
well  as  by  less  permanent  undertakings  on 
the  part  of  single  communities  and  of  certain 
churches.  As  a  rule,  the  instruction  of  young 
children  was  almost  wholly  left  to  parents 
and  homes,  just  as  it  was  in  England  at  the 
same  period.  But  somewhat  before  1800, 
and  much  more  just  after  it,  a  movement  set 
in  to  arouse  local  communities  to  the  need 
of  elementary  and  secondary  education  of 
a  more  uniform  and  general  character.  This 
was  analogous  to  movements  in  Europe, 
though  perhaps  not  directly  connected  with 
them.  A  difficulty  in  American  conditions 
was  the  strong  instinct  for  local  autonomy, 
which  long  prevented  a  desirable  consoli- 
dation of  effort  over  large  areas,  such  as  whole 
States.  New  England  was  on  the  whole 
ahead  of  other  sections,  but  the  Middle  States 
soon  joined  in  the  movement.1 

At  intervals  in  the  18th  century  the  im- 
portance of  musical  training  for  the  young  was 
recognized.  Thomas  Symmes  urged  it  as 
early  as  1720  in  connection  with  his  plea  for 
singing  by  note.  As  fast  as  'singing-schools' 
sprang  up  they  appealed  to  boys  and  girls 
quite  as  much  as  to  their  elders  —  though 
they  did  not  often  include  little  children. 
In  1753  William  Tuckey  began  classes  for 

1  New  York  had  a  State  Superintendent  of  Schools 
in  1812-21,  and  again  after  1854.  Massachusetts 
had  a  State  Board  of  Education  from  1837.  These 
were  the  pioneers  in  consolidated  administration. 
The  Federal  Government  was  favorable  to  system- 
atic public  education  from  soon  after  the  Revolution, 
but  its  influence  was  confined  to  grants  of  public 
lands  for  school-use. 


'singing-scholars'  in  the  rooms  of  Trinity 
Church  in  New  York.  Adgate's  enterprises 
in  Philadelphia  from  1784  were  in  part  di- 
rected toward  the  culture  of  children.  These 
are  samples  of  efforts  put  forth  here  and  there 
by  individuals.  It  was  not  until  the  idea  of 
a  general  plan  of  popular  education  under 
civic  control  began  to  shape  itself  that  the 
training  of  children  in  song  was  extensively 
undertaken. 

It  was  William  C.  Woodbridge  (1795-1845), 
from  1831  editor  of  a  series  of  Annals  of  Edu- 
cation, who  supplied  the  impetus  for  positive 
advance.  He  had  personally  investigated 
music-teaching  in  schools  as  it  was  developing 
in  Europe,  especially  in  Switzerland  and 
Germany.  He  became  convinced  of  the 
superiority  of  the  Pestalozzian  method,  and 
brought  back  text-books  and  other  material, 
some  of  which  he  translated.  As  Wood- 
bridge  was  a  teacher  in  Hartford,  the  first 
trials  took  place  there  as  early  as  1830  under 
Elam  Ives,  but  of  these  no  record  is  accessible. 
In  that  year  Woodbridge  lectured  in  Boston 
on  'Vocal  Music  as  a  Branch  of  Common 
Education,'  illustrations  being  given  by 
children  trained  by  Lowell  Mason.  The  latter 
was  but  slowly  won  to  accept  the  principles 
enunciated  by  Pestalozzi,  but  finally  adopted 
them  in  full.  These  principles  were  thus 
stated : 

1.'  To  teach  sounds  before,  signs  —  to  make  the  child 
sing  before  he  learns  the  written  notes  or  their 


2.  To  lead  him  to  observe,  by  hearing  and  imitating 
sounds,    their    resemblances    and    differences,    their 
agreeable  and  disagreeable  effect,  instead  of  explaining 
these  things  to  him  —  in  short,  to  make  him  active 
instead  of  passive  in  learning. 

3.  In  teaching  but  one  thing  at  a  time  —  rhythm, 
melody,  expression  are  taught  and  practiced  sepa- 
rately before  the  child  is  called  to  the  difficult  task 
of  attending  to  all  at  once. 

4.  In  making  them  practice  each  step  of  each  of 
these  divisions,  until  they  are  master  of  it,  before  passing 
to  the  next. 

5.  The   giving   the   principles   and   theory    after 
practice,  and  as  an  induction  from  it. 

6.  The  analyzing  and  practicing  the  elements  of 
articulate  sound  in  order  to  apply  them  to  music. 

7.  Another   peculiarity,    which    is   not,    however, 
essential  to  the  system,  is  that  the  names  of  the  notes 
correspond  to  those  employed  in  instrumental  music, 
and  are  derived  from  the  letters,   with    variations 
for   flats   and  sharps  —  a  method  whose  utility   ia 
questioned   by   some,    but   which    is   deemed   very 
important  by  others.1 

In  January,  1833,  the  Boston  Academy 
of  Music  was  started  by  Mason  at  Wood- 
bridge's  suggestion  and  with  the  help  of  George 
J.  Webb.  In  1834  Mason  issued  his  famous 
Manual,  explaining  the  principles  and  methods 

1  In  later  years  these  principles  were  largely 
disregarded  or  forgotten,  but  it  is  interesting  to  note 
that  the  so-called  modern  'observation'  method 
rests  upon  the  first,  second  and  fifth  of  them.

to  be  used  in  the  Academy's  singing-classes 
for  children  and  youth.  Samuel  A.  Eliot, 
the  president  of  the  Academy,  was  then  on 
the  city  School-Committee  (mayor  in  1837-39) 
and  was  heartily  sympathetic  with  the  move- 
ment to  introduce  music  into  the  public 
schools.  In  1836,  thanks  to  the  efforts  of 
these  advocates,  a  memorial  to  this  effect 
was  laid  before  the  committee,  but  without 
result.HA  second  attempt  in  1837  secured 
the  committee's  approval,  but  without  their 
providing  funds  for  the  arrangement.  Mason 
agreed  to  teach  for  a  year  without  salary, 
and  in  October,  1837,  began  work  in  the  Hawes 
School  in  South  Boston.  His  success  was  so 
obvious  that  in  August,  1838,  the  committee 
gave  its  official  endorsement,  putting  Mason 
in  charge  of  music  in  all  the  schools,  with 
A.  N.  Johnson,  G.  F.  Root,  A.  J.  Drake  and 
J.  A.  Johnson  as  assistants.  In  1841  Mason 
resigned  to  devote  himself  to  'conventions' 
and  B.  F.  Baker  succeeded  him.  A  general 
committee  on  music  was  first  appointed  in 
1857.  Music  was  not  taught  in  the  primary 
grades  at  first,  but  was  added  in  1864  by 
L.  W.  Mason.  In  1868  H.  E.  Holt  took  charge 
of  the  lower  grammar  grades,  in  1869  Eichberg 
became  the  first  supervisor,  and  in  1872  music 
was  carried  into  all  the  high  schools  —  thus 
making  the  system  complete. 

In  February,  1836,  the  trustees  of  the  schools 
in  New  York  took  up  the  question  of  music, 
but  decided  to  leave  it  to  the  boards  of  the 
several  schools,  stipulating  that  it  must  not 
involve  expense  or  interfere  with  other  studies. 
In  1840,  '43  and  '47  motions  to  bring  music 
in  were  disapproved.  In  1853  it  was  intro- 
duced, but  without  system.  No  definite 
plan  for  it  was  issued  till  1879,  and,  according 
to  Frank  Damrosch,  it  was  not  really  estab- 
lished till  1898. 

In  1858  the  Boston  School  Committee  made 
an  inquiry  as  to  the  introduction  of  music 
in  other  cities,  the  dates  secured  being  these  — 
Boston,  1838;  Buffalo,  1843;  Pittsburgh, 
1844;  Cincinnati,  1846  (1844?);  Chicago, 
1848 ;  Cleveland,  1851 ;  San  Francisco,  1851 ; 
St.  Louis,  1852.  The  first  teacher  in  Buffalo 
was  Mr.  Hazeltine ;  in  Pittsburgh,  L.  P. 
Lincoln ;  and  in  Cincinnati,  Charles  Aiken 
(succeeded  in  1879  by  his  son,  W.  H.  Aiken, 
who  is  still  in  service).1  Among  later  examples 
mention  may  be  made  of  New  Haven,  Conn., 
where  Benjamin  Jepson  began  teaching  in 
seven  schools  in  January,  1865,  at  first  only 
in  the  upper  grades.  Jepson  published,  at 
his  own  expense,  what  appears  to  have  been 

1  See  paper  by  Frances  M.  Dickey  on  '  The  Early 
History  of  Public  School  Music  in  the  United  States,' 
M.T.N.A.  Proceedings,  1913,  where  numerous  de- 
tails are  given.  The  singing  in  Cincinnati  early  be- 
came famous,  and  since  1873  school-choruses  have 
often  taken  part  in  the  biennial  Festivals. 


the    first    Music-Reader.1     He    remained    in 
charge  over  forty-five  years. 

In  1884-85  the  Bureau  of  Education  re- 
ported that  music  was  taught  in  the  public 
schools  of  247  towns  and  cities,  with  some 
90  special  teachers.  Twenty  years  later, 
in  a  Bulletin  of  the  Bureau  (Music- Education 
in  the  United  States,  1908),  the  compiler, 
Arthur  L.  Manchester,  said  : 

'Teachers  in  public  schools  are  steadily  seeking  to 
improve  both  the  matter  and  the  method  of  their 
phase  of  music-education,  rectifying  inaccuracies 
of  grading  and  bridging  over  the  chasm  between 
elementary  and  advanced  grades.  The  cultivation 
of  music  in  its  foundational  aspects  and  as  part  of  . 
the  life  of  the  people  is  being  given  intelligent  con-., 
sideration.  Pedagogic  principles  as  a  basis  for 
further  development  are  being  given  attention,  and 
the  trend  is  strongly  toward  efficiency,  coordination 
and  cooperation';  adding,  however,  that  'among 
the  defects  in  our  present  scheme  of  music-education 
there  exists  one  of  very  serious  character,  namely, 
a  lack  of  systematic,  wisely-planned,  and  thoroughly 
carried-out  foundational  training.' 

In  1914,  in  introducing  another  Bulletin 
of  the  Bureau  (Music  in  the  Public  Schools, 
compiled  by  Will  Earhart),  Commissioner 
Claxton  said : 

'That  music  plays  an  important  part  in  the  life  of 
a  people  and  should  therefore  have  an  important  place 
in  the  system  of  education  in  any  State  or  nation  has 
been  understood  by  the  foremost  educators  for  three 
thousand  years.  Among  a  practical,  industrial 
and  commercial  people,  like  ourselves,  good  music 
is  necessary  not  only  for  enjoyment  and  recreation, 
but  also  for  inspiration  and  for  salvation  from  death 
in  the  din  and  dust  of  trade ;  and  this  music  should 
be  democratic  in  the  truest  and  best  sense.  This 
it  can  never  be  until  it  becomes  an  integral  part  of 
the  education  given  in  the  schools  of  all  grades,  as 
it  is  in  the  schools  of  some  other  countries.  It  is 
through  an  increasingly  clear  understanding  of  this 
fact  that  music,  not  recognized  in  the  course  of  study 
of  our  earliest  public  schools,  has,  within  the  last 
twenty-five  or  thirty  years,  been  introduced  to  some 
extent  into  the  schools  of  most  progressive  cities 
and  of  many  towns,  villages,  and  country  com- 
munities, though  by  many  it  is  still  considered  un- 
essential and  a  fad.  Sooner  or  later  we  shall  not 
only  recognize  the  culture  value  of  music,  we  shall 
also  begin  to  understand  that,  after  the  beginnings 
of  reading,  writing,  arithmetic  and  geometry,  music 
has  greater  practical  value  than  any  other  subject 
taught  in  the  schools.' 

From  this  report,  presenting  a  detailed 
account  of  conditions  throughout  the  country, 
some  salient  facts  may  be  noted.  In  grades 
below  the  high  school  622  towns  and  cities 
require  music,  and  59  do  not  —  all  but  four 
of  the  622  having  graded  courses.  St.  Louis 
has  700  pianos  to  2194  school-rooms ;  Cincin- 
nati, 250  pianos  to  1000  rooms.  In  the  vast 
majority  of  schools  the  music-teaching  is  done 
by  grade-teachers  under  the  guidance  of  a 
supervisor,  but,  unfortunately,  few  schools 

1  In  1875  a  choral  society  composed  of  333  graduates 
from  these  schools  gave  'The  Creation,'  'The  Messiah' 
and  'Elijah'  under  Jepson's  direction.

require  thorough  preparation  for  this  work. 
In  631  high  schools  189  (30%)  have  no  music 
except  assembly-singing;  442  (70%)  have 
some  music  other  than  assembly-singing. 
238  high  schools  reported  orchestras,  with 
a  total  membership  of  4181  players ;  in  about 
one-third  of  the  schools  credit  is  given  for 
orchestra-playing.  Musical  history  or  ap- 
preciation, or  both,  find  place  in  73  high 
schools,  with  a  student-enrolment  of  7587. 
Harmony  is  taught  to  705  students  in  39 
systems;  sight-singing  and  elementary  theory 
in  58  schools,  with  14,434  students.  In  10 
States  music  is  required  in  the  grades;  in  37 
States  music  is  not  required,  but  more  or  less 
adequate  provision  is  made  for  music-teaching 
below  high  school  grades.  Five  States  require 
music  in  high  schools  (Arizona,  Indiana, 
Iowa,  Louisiana  and  Washington)  ;  42  do 
not  require  it,  but  in  these  the  development 
of  high-school  music  is  frequently  equal  to 
that  in  the  others.  17  States  require  ex- 
aminations for  special  teachers  or  super- 
visors; only  34  State  institutions  out  of  87 
make  provision  for  training  supervisors. 
The  result  is  that  supervisors  are  trained 
elsewhere  privately  as  musicians,  or  if  in 
normal  schools,  as  teachers  rather  than 
musicians.  While  this  report  suffers  from  the 
usual  failure  of  many  persons  to  respond, 
fully  or  in  part,  to  even  an  important  ques- 
tionnaire, it  is  of  great  valute  as  showing 
average  conditions,  and  the  details  of  the 
report  have  been  most  carefully  worked  out. 
In  1916  an  elaborate  and  exhaustive  thesis 
was  prepared  by  Rose  Yont  of  the  University 
of  Nebraska,  and  published  as  Status  and 
Value  of  Music  in  Education.1  This  thesis 
deals  with  music  in  the  public  schools,  normal 
schools,  state  universities  and  colleges,  edu- 
cational extension,  and  general  education ; 
it  also  contains  a  valuable  bibliographical  list. 
The  author  finds  the  number  of  music-super- 
visors to  be  1343  (in  1913),  of  whom  about 
20%  are  men.  The  investigation,  covering 
the  entire  country,  'showed  great  interest 
[among  school  authorities],  emphatic  approval 
of  the  subject  as  a  school  study,  and  a  strong 
desire  to  learn  the  results  of  this  investigation.' 
The  Pacific  States  all  present  the  feverish 
activity  which  characterizes  most  of  the 
North  Central  States.  Progressive  school 
officers  and  educational  leaders  who  favor 
broad  culture  have  pushed  the  subject  to  the 
front  very  rapidly.  California  probably  leads 
the  States  of  the  Union,  in  her  uniform,  de- 
liberately planned  and  systematic  presentation 
of  the  subject.  The  conditions  in  1913 
presented  a  remarkable  and  gratifying  growth, 
except  in  the  Southern  States,  as  compared 
with  similar  data  secured  by  Miss  Yont  in 
1  The  Woodruff  Press,  Lincoln,  Neb.,  353  pp. 


1907.  There  is  a  chapter  on  credit  for  private 
music-lessons  outside  of  school,  with  interest- 
ing statistics  and  the  conclusion  that  the 
people  'are  more  ready  for  the  innovation 
than  school  authorities,  who  fear  to  take  so 
radical  a  step.'  A  careful  estimate  places 
the  sum  paid  in  Nebraska  for  private  music- 
lessons  annually  at  about  $  1,000,000,  while 
the  State  paid  out  only  $36,182  for  musical 
instruction.  'This  would  indicate  that  the 
schools  are  not  supplying  public  demands  in 
the  teaching  of  this  subject,  while  further- 
more it  shows  enormous  financial  waste.  The 
same  amount  judiciously  spent  in  the  schools 
would  be  more  than  adequate  to  supply  all  the 
children  with  proper  musical  training.' 

Realizing  the  need  of  more  uniformity  of 
system  and  requirements,  in  music  as  in  other 
subjects,  the  National  Education  Association 
in  1912  appointed  a  Commission  on  the  Re- 
organization of  Secondary  Education.  The 
committee  on  music  under  this  included 
thirteen  workers  of  national  reputation,  with 
Will  Earhart  as  chairman  and  Osbourne 
McConathy  as  head  of  a  subcommittee  on 
course  of  study.  In  the  preliminary  state- 
ments issued  in  1913  occur  sentences  like 
these : 

'In  common  with  the  other  arts  and  literature, 
and  perhaps  in  a  higher  degree,  music  tends  to 
develop  finer  subjective  life  in  the  individual.' 

'A  course  in  music  that  does  not  promise  to  adjust 
the  learner  in  sympathetic  response  to  the  best  music 
is  lacking  in  its  proper  quality,  whatever  marks  of 
efficiency  it  may  show.' 

'Failure  to  bring  the  graduates  of  public  schools 
into  sympathetic  relation  with  the  mature  musical 
intelligence  and  interests  of  their  various  com- 
munities is  due  not  so  much  to  shortcomings  in  the 
work  of  the  grades  as  to  neglect  or  sad  misdirection 
of  the  work  in  high  schools.' 

'  If  we  would  have  an  adult  public  interested  in  and 
appreciative  of  the  great  music  of  the  masters,  we 
must  have  general  instruction  in  advanced  phases 
of  musical  study.'  'To  the  high  schools  properly v 
belongs  the  task  of  articulating  the  music  in  the 
grades  with  the  enlightened  musical  understanding 
and  interest  of  the  community.' 

The  report  of  this  committee,  as  published 
in  a  further  Bulletin  of  the  Bureau  of  Edu- 
cation in  1917,  deals  in  detail  with  methods 
and  results  in  ensemble-singing,  chorus- 
practice,  musical  appreciation,  harmony, 
counterpoint,  orchestra-ensemble,  credit  for 
study  under  outside  teachers,  etc.,  with 
suggestions  as  to  administration.  To  those 
not  familiar  with  what  is  now  being  actually 
done  in  not  a  few  high  schools,  or  who  suppose 
that  all  public  school  work  in  music  has 
remained  as  it  was  fifty  years  ago,  this  report 
will  be  exceedingly  interesting. 

Until  recently  high-school  graduates  were 
not  able  to  use  music  as  a  credit  for  college- 
entrance.  In  the  Proceedings  of  the  Music 
Supervisors'  National  Conference  for  1919

Gehrkens,  representing  respectively  the  Super- 
visors' Conference,  the  N.  E.  A.,  and  the  M. 
T.  N.  A.  Through  a  questionnaire  sent  out 
by  the  Bureau  of  Education  they  ascertained 
that,  out  of  412  colleges  replying,  191  allowed 
some  entrance-credit  for  music  —  80  giving 
one  unit  out  of  15  or  16,  and  111  two  or  more 
units.  Furthermore,  out  of  the  412  colleges, 
238  give  credit  toward  the  A.B.  degree  for 
courses  in  music.  The  committee  concludes 
that  entrance-credit  will  be  granted  more  and 
more.  The  rapidity  and  permanence  of  the 
movement  will  depend  upon  the  quality  of 
the  work  done  in  the  secondary  schools. 

The  marked  improvement  in  public  school 
music  since  about  1900  has  been  due  to  the 
combination  of  many  causes,  especially  the 
advance  of  public  opinion  as  reflected  by 
school  authorities  and  the  zeal  and  wisdom 
of  many  teachers  in  the  school  systems.  As 
a  single  index  of  the  growth  in  interest  it  may 
be  noted  that  at  the  first  meeting  of  the 
Supervisors'  Conference  in  1911  the  member- 
ship was  84,  whereas  in  1919  it  was  700. 
The  number  of  institutions  —  normal  schools, 
colleges,  universities  and  conservatories  — 
now  offering  more  or  less  elaborate  courses 
of  training  for  public-school  teaching  is  impres- 
sively large,  implying  both  a  demand  and  a 
purpose.  Hence  large  expectations  for  future 
development  seem  to  be  justified. 

Besides  the  literature  referred  to,  especially 
the  Bulletins  of  the  Bureau  of  Education  and 
Miss  Yont's  elaborate  study,  reference  should 
be  made  to  the  various  volumes  of  the  Pro- 
ceedings of  the  M.  T.  N.  A.,  the  N.  E.  A.,  the 
Supervisors'  Conference  (National  and 
Eastern),  the  successive  volumes  of  'School 
Music,'  'The  Journal  of  Education,'  and 
several  musical  periodicals,  etc.

Opera  Company  (in  English)  and  at  ths 
Metropolitan  Opera  House  on  Feb.  11,  1907. 
On  the  latter  occasion  and  at  the  premiere 
of  'La  Fanciulla  del  West'  the  composer  was

in  America  in  1864,  penniless  and  unable  to 
speak  English.  He  served  for  a  year  in  the 
Civil  War  as  a  cavalry  private.  From  1865  he 
was  variously  employed  at  St.  Louis,  where 
from  1867  he  was  a  reporter  for  the  '  Westliche 
Post,'  becoming  in  1871  managing-editor  and 
part-owner.  In  1879  he  combined  two  St.

1883  became  owner  of  the  New  York  '  World.' 
In  1887,  in  the  full  tide  of  journalistic  success, 
his  health  failed  and  total  blindness  began  to 
come  on.  In  1903  he  founded  the  School  of 
Journalism  at  Columbia  University  with  an 
initial  gift  of  $1,000,000.  At  his  death  he 
signalized  his  lifelong  enthusiasm  for  music 
by  bequeathing  $500,000  to  the  Philharmonic 
Society  of  New  York,  with  the  stipulation 
that  his  favorite  composers,  Beethoven, 
Wagner  and  Liszt,  should  be  frequently  repre-

1877,  St.  Louis),  was  trained  by  Galloway  (pi- 
ano and  organ),  Vieh  and  Ehling  (piano)  and 
Kroeger  (theory),  and  entered  upon  a  career 
of  great  activity  as  organist.  At  sixteen  he 
served  the  Cook  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church, 
and  in  1897,  on  graduating  from  the  high 
school,  went  to  the  Central  Congregational, 
in  1898  to  the  West  Presbyterian,  giving  his 
first  recitals,  and  in  1900  to  the  Lindell  Avenue 
Methodist,  where  for  thirteen  years  he  gave 
monthly  recitals.  In  1903  he  appeared  at 
the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition,  and  also 
became  teacher  at  Lindenwood  College, 
where  he  was  later  dean  of  Fine  Arts.  In 
1905  he  was  made  music-director  at  the 
Cathedral  of  the  Scottish  Rite,  and  in  1907 
at  Moolah  Temple,  organizing  a  band  of 
singers  which  traveled  widely  to  participate 
in  conclaves.  In  1906  he  was  studying  in 
Paris  under  Widor.  In  1907  he  became 
organist  of  the  St.  Louis  Symphony  Or- 


chestra, and  also  founded  the  Choral  Art 
Society,  which  took  up  works  like  Brahms' 
Requiem,  Dvorak's  Stabat  Mater,  Schu- 
mann's 'Paradise  and  the  Peri,'  etc.  In 
1912  he  made  an  extensive  recital-tour  in  the 
East,  and  in  1913  became  university-organist 
at  Cornell  University,  being  made  assistant- 
professor  in  1916.  He  has  given  there  about 
200  educational  recitals,  presenting  almost 
all  the  masterpieces  of  organ-literature.  He 
has  played  at  the  Panama-Pacific  Exposition, 
at  the  first  convention  of  the  A.  G.  O.,  with 
the  Boston  and  Chicago  Orchestras,  and  in 
many  other  notable  relations.  He  has  written

an  excellent  pianist,  was  one  of  John  Field's 
pupils.  He  had  his  first  lessons  from  Anna 
Ornadtskaia,  and  at  Petrograd  studied  under 
Demiansky  and  Cross,  going  thence  to  Moscow 
at  the  suggestion  of  Siloti,  his  cousin.  His 
opera  'Aleko'  was  his  final  exercise  there, 
winning  a  medal,  1893.  For  four  years  he 
was  mainly  busy  with  composition,  as  well  as 
in  1899-1904.  In  1897-98  he  was  private 
opera-conductor  for  Mamontov  in  Moscow. 
In  1904-06  he  directed  the  Moscow  Opera.

and  Hamerik  for  composition.  He  first 
appeared  as  pianist  with  the  Peabody  Sym- 
phony Orchestra  in  1885,  being  perhaps  the 
first  player  both  American-born  and  American- 
trained  to  receive  general  recognition.  He 
has  been  soloist  with  all  the  leading  orchestras 
and  chamber-ensembles,  and  with  Ernest 
Hutcheson  has  given  many  recitals  for  two

began  to  teach  at  the  Peabody  Conservatory, 
and  in  1898  succeeded  Hamerik  as  director. 
His  administration  has  been  marked  by 
remarkable  energy  and  success.  Among  other 
undertakings,  he  has  organized  a  Bach  Choir, 
which  has  given  Bach's  St.  Matthew  Passion,

politan Opera  House  as  Sulamith  in  'Die 
Konigin  von  Saba'  in  1905.  Her  success 
was  immediate,  and  she  has  since  sung  at

REED-ORGAN.  American  ingenuity  has 
been  peculiarly  productive  in  developing  the 
possibilities  of  the  'harmonium'  or  that  form 
of  organ  which  employs  only  small  free  reeds 
as  tone-producers.  The  first  experiments 
were  made  before  1820.  At  least  as  early 
as  1845  the  French  system  of  forcing  the  air 
out  through  the  reeds  was  replaced  by  the 
distinctively  American  system  of  drawing 
it  in  by  suction.  The  bellows,  however,  at 
first  was  single  and  the  air-pressure  fluctuating. 
The  name  'melodeon'  was  early  adopted 
(popularly  corrupted  into  'melodium'),  and 
the  form  used  resembled  a  small  square  piano. 
There  were  usually  only  one  or  two  sets  of 
reeds,  and  the  tone-quality  was  monotonous. 
About  1850  Emmons  Hamlin,  then  working 
for  George  A.  Prince  &  Co.,  of  Buffalo,  dis- 
covered that  twisting  and  bending  the  tongues 
of  the  reeds  produced  decided  improvement 
in  their  tone,  not  only  in  power,  but  in  variety 
of  quality.  In  1854  he  joined  Henry  Mason 
in  forming  the  Mason  &  Hamlin  Co.,  of 
Boston,  who  speedily  became  the  pioneers 
in  developing  instruments  of  unexampled 
breadth  of  effect.  They  put  forth  the  'organ- 
harmonium'  in  1855  and  the  'cabinet  organ' 
in  1861  —  the  latter  deriving  its  name  from 
the  fact  that  the  case  extended  to  the  floor. 
The  use  of  a  double  bellows  greatly  improved 
the  air-supply,  and  variations  in  loudness 
were  secured  either  by  an  'automatic  bellows' 
or  a  'knee-swell'  that  controlled  a  lid  on  the 
box  inclosing  the  reeds.  From  that  time 
improvements  were  rapid,  so  that  cabinet 
organs  became  artistically  and  commercially 
important.  They  were  often  made  with 
many  sets  of  reeds,  differently  voiced,  with 
two  keyboards,  with  a  pedal-keyboard,  etc. 
Other  manufacturers  took  up  the  business  on  a 
large  scale,  and  the  use  of  reed-organs  in  homes, 
churches,  lodges  and  similar  assembly-places 
became  widespread.  See  H.  L.  Mason,  History 
and  Development  of  theAmerican  Cabinet  Organ, 

A  peculiar  early  variety  was  the  'lap-organ' 
or  'rocking-melodeon,'  developed  before  1850, 
especially  in  New  Hampshire,  in  which  the 
bellows  rested  on  the  player's  knees  and  was 
worked  by  pressing  with  one  or  both  arms, 
while  the  reeds  were  controlled  by  a  keyboard 
more  or  less  like  that  of  an  accordion.  The 
'  vocalion,'  introduced  about  1890,  uses  pressure 
instead  of  suction  and  has  large  reeds  with 
special  air-chambers  attached.

York  in  1786,  soon  moved  to  Philadelphia, 
where  he  remained  except  for  the  year  1788-89 
spent  in  New  York.  He  promptly  became 
a  leader  in  all  musical  affairs,  being  an  ex- 
cellent pianist,  singer,  conductor,  composer 
and  operatic  manager.  With  Thomas  Wig- 
nell,  in  1793  he  formed  a  stock-company  in 
Philadelphia,  erected  the  New  Theatre  on 
Chestnut  Street,  which  was  opened  early  in 
1794,  and  was  pianist  in  the  orchestra.  Both 
plays  and  operas  were  given  here  for  many 
years.  Of  the  quality  of  his  musicianship 
there  is  evidence  in  a  few  sonatas  that  are  in 
the  Library  of  Congress.  He  wrote  new 
accompaniments  and  sometimes  an  overture 
for  the  musical  plays  that  were  brought  from 
England.  In  1795  for  some  reason  he  pro-

studies  in  Germanic  philology  and  literature 
at  Columbia  University,  where  he  was  made 
A.M.  in  1905.  In  1890-96  he  studied  piano 
and  theory  with  Klein  and  part  of  this  time 
violin  with  Charles  Palm.  In  1895-97  he 
was  music-critic  for  '  Vogue '  and  '  The  Looker- 
On,'  and  taught  harmony  at  the  International

on  musical  subjects  and  since  1907  preparing 
extremely    valuable    summaries    of    musical 
events   for   the   International    Year-Book.     In 
1906-15  he  was  extension-lecturer  at  Columbia,

chiefly  on  Wagner.     His  compositions,  all  writ- 
ten before  1896,  include  an  opera,   'Hjordis,' 
based  on  Ibsen's  'Vikings  of  Helgoland,'  an  In-

RICHARDSON,  ALFRED  MADELEY 
(June  1,  1868,  Southend-on-Sea,  England), 
though  the  son  of  a  Congregational  minister, 
was  educated  at  Keble  College,  Oxford,  where 
he  gained  a  scholarship  in  1885  and  became 
B.A.  in  1889,  M.A.  in  1890,  Mus.B.  in  1888 
and  Mus.D.  in  1897.  He  was  also  president 
of  the  University  Musical  Club  and  of  Keble 
College  Musical  Society,  and  in  1889  took  the 
Phillpotts  Theological  Prize.  From  1889  he 
was  organist  in  Worcester,  in  1891-92  in  Lon- 
don, in  1892-97  in  Scarborough,  and  from 
1897  at  St.  Saviour's  in  South wark  (London), 
which  in  1905  became  the  cathedral  of  a  new 
diocese.  Here  he  developed  choir-services  of 
great  beauty  and  dignity,  including  a  unique 
treatment  of  the  Psalms  and  a  cappella  Pal- 
estrina  music.  From  1905  he  was  in  much 
request  as  lecturer  before  Church  Congresses 
and  elsewhere,  and  as  judge  at  Eisteddfodau 
and  other  contests.  He  also  gave  organ- 
recitals  and  led  various  choral  societies.  In 
1909  he  was  induced  to  come  to  America, 
first  as  organist  at  St.  Paul's  in  Baltimore

ROCHESTER  ORCHESTRA,  THE,  whose 
present  name  dates  from  1912,  was  founded 
in  1900  by  Hermann  Dossenbach  and  at  first 
called  by  his  name.  He  has  been  its  only 
conductor.  The  force  consists  of  60-65 
players,  a  few  of  whom  are  regularly  supplied 
from  outside  of  Rochester.  The  concert- 
master  is  Arthur  Hartmann.  Behind  the 
enterprise  stands  a  group  of  guarantors,  who 
meet  a  deficit  of  from  $  6000  to  $  10,000  per 
year.  Six  concerts  are  regularly  given  in 
each  season,  making  about  100  since  organi- 
zation. A  strong  selection  of  standard  works 
have  been  performed,  including  the  follow- 
ing: 

Three  Symphonies  by  Mozart,  eight  by  Beethoven, 
three  by  Schubert,  four  by  Schumann,  Raff's  '  Im 
Walde,'  Franck's  D  minor,  Goldmark's  'Rustic 
Wedding,'  three  by  Tchaikovsky,  Stanford's  'Irish,' 
Borodin's  'Prince  Igor,'  four  of  Saint-Saens'  Sym- 
phonic Poems,  Tchaikovsky's  3rd  Suite,  Massenet's 
music  for  'Les  Erinnyes,'  Grieg's  'Sigurd  Jorsalfar,' 
'Peer  Gynt'  and  'Holberg'  Suites,  Rimsky-Korsa- 
kov's  'Scheherazade,'  Charpentier's  'Impressions 
of  Italy,'  MacDowell's  two  Suites,  Sibelius'  'Swan 
of  Tupnela '  and  '  Finlandia ' ;  besides  most  of  the 
favorite  overtures  and  numerous  extracts  from 
Wagner. 

ROCHESTER  SYMPHONY  ORCHES- 
TRA, THE,  began  in  1901  through  the  efforts 
of  Dr.  Justin  H.  Schopp  and  some  members 
of  the  earlier  Philharmonic  Orchestra,  an  ama- 
teur organization  led  by  Henri  Appy.  Like  its 
predecessor,  it  is  composed  of  amateurs.  At 
its  concerts  a  few  professionals  are  added,  bring- 
ing the  number  to  about  70.  Ludwig  Schenck 
has  been  conductor  from  the  first.  Three  con- 
certs are  given  annually.  In  earlier  years  the 


Orchestra  appealed  to  the  public  in  the  usual 
way.  But  in  1907,  by  the  aid  of  public-spirited 
friends  and  the  cooperation  first  of  the  Board  of 
Education  and  later  of  the  city,  it  was  enabled 
to  make  its  concerts  entirely  free.  For  a 
time  they  were  given  in  the  East  and  West 
High  Schools,  but  were  soon  transferred  to 
the  city  Convention  Hall.  The  success  of 
this  venture  resulted  in  sundry  other  musical 
enterprises  on  the  part  of  the  city  authorities 
for  popular  inspiration.  Among  the  larger 
works  undertaken  are  the  following : 

Four  symphonies  by  Haydn,  two  by  Mozart, 
Beethoven's  1st,  2nd,  5th  and  8th,  two  by  Schubert, 
Mendelssohn's  'Scotch,'  Raff's  'Lenore,'  Svendsen's 
4th  and  Cowen's  'Welsh';  suites  by  Purcell,  Bach, 
Saint-Saens,  Philipp  Scharwenka,  Grieg,  Massenet, 
Tchaikovsky,  Bizet  and  German;  concertos  by 
Bach,  Handel,  Mozart,  Schumann,  Chopin,  Grieg 
and  Lalo.  In  one  of  the  early  years  there  was  a 
first  performance  of  Hans  Ebell's  Concerto  in  F 
minor,  the  composer  at  the  piano.

cation at  Lake  Forest  Academy  in  Illinois. 
He  took  up  music  in  Chicago  with  Towne 
and  Eddy,  and  in  1875  went  abroad  for  five 
years,  studying  in  Berlin  with  Loeschhorn, 
Ehrlich,  Rohde  and  Haupt,  and  in  Paris  with 
Fissot,  Guilmant  and  Widor.  After  a  year 
in  Burlington,  la.,  in  1883  he  settled  in  Cleve- 
land, where  he  is  organist  of  the  Euclid  Avenue 
Temple  and  the  First  Unitarian  Church, 
conductor  of  the  Rubinstein  Club  and  critic 
for  the  'Plain-Dealer.'  He  has  been  notably 
successful  in  composition.  Among  his  works 
are  the  following : 

Songs:  'At  Parting,'  'The  Star,'  'Wind-Song,'

ROOSEVELT,  HILBOURNE  LEWIS 
(1848,  New  York  :  Dec.  29,  1885),  very 
early  developed  an  interest  in  acoustics, 
especially  as  related  to  organ-making.  As 
a  youth,  against  the  wishes  of  his  family,  he 
became  an  apprentice  in  the  shop  of  Hall, 
Labagh  &  Kemp,  and  made  more  than  one 
trip  to  Europe  to  study  organ-construction. 
In  1872  he  opened  his  own  factory  on  18th 
Street,  which  in  1881  was  moved  to  larger 
quarters  on  the  same  street.  As  early  as  1868 
he  took  out  his  first  patent  for  an  electric 
action,  and  about  1870  exhibited  an  organ 
equipped  with  it  at  an  American  Institute 
Fair  in  New  York.  In  1876  he  built  one  of  the 
great  organs  for  the  Centennial  Exposition 
in  Philadelphia  (later  sold  to  Mechanics 
Institute  in  Boston),  and  about  1878  installed 
the  famous  instrument  at  the  Cathedral  in 
Garden  City,  Long  Island.  After  his  untimely 
death  the  business  was  continued  and  ex- 
tended by  his  brother,  Frank  H.  Roosevelt. 
The  firm  had  many  specialties  besides  electric 
actions.  They  perfected  a  notable  early 
form  of  tubular  pneumatic  action,  paid  great 
attention  to  orchestral  voicing,  strove  to 
unite  striking  tonal  features  from  different 
schools  of  organ-making,  and  were  always 
eminent  for  painstaking  and  elaborate  interior 
construction.  In  1893,  however,  the  business 
was  given  up  and  the  stock  and  patents  sold 
to  the  Farrand  &  Votey  Co.  of  Detroit.  Soon 
after  the  younger  Roosevelt  died,  aged  only 
thirty-two.  [  R.6  ] 

ROOT,  FREDERICK  WOODMAN  (June 
13,  1846,  Boston  :  Nov.  8,  1916,  Chicago), 
was  son  and  pupil  of  George  F.  Root.  He 
studied  piano  with  Blodgett,  Mason  and 
Goldbeck,  organ  with  James  Flint  and  voice 
with  Bassini.  He  became  organist  of  the 
Third  Presbyterian  Church  in  Chicago  in 
1863,  and  of  the  Swedenborgian  Church  there 
in  1865.  In  1869-70  he  studied  with  Vannuc- 
cini  in  Florence,  and  on  his  return  to  Chicago 
became  distinguished  as  a  voice-teacher. 
Among  his  pupils  were  Hope  Glenn,  Jessie 
Bartlett  Davis,  W.  H.  Clark,  Charles  W. 
Clark,  Mackenzie  Gordon,  D.  A.  Clippinger 
and  F.  W.  Wodell.  He  conducted  the  Men- 
delssohn Choral  Club  in  1879-85;  wrote  for 
or  edited  the  '  Song  Messenger '  for  many  years, 


and  wrote  much  on  topics  connected  with 
singing.  He  published  The  Technic  and  Art 
of  Singing,  Methodical  Sight-Singing,  Intro- 
ductory Lessons  in  Voice-Culture,  The  Poly- 
chrome Lessons  in  Voice-Culture,  and  several 
collections  of  exercises  and  studies.  He 
composed  the  cantata  'The  Landing  of  the 
Pilgrims'  (1875,  Chicago),  a  burlesque  oper- 
etta, songs,  choruses  and  church-music.  He 
was  an  examiner  (1889)  of  the  American  Col- 
lege of  Musicians,  once  president  of  the  Chicago 
Literary  Club,  and  a  favorite  lecturer.  [  R.5  J 

ROOT,  GEORGE  FREDERICK  (Aug.  30, 
1820,  Sheffield,  Mass.  :  Aug.  6,  1895, 
Bailey's  Island,  Me.).  See  article  in  Vol. 
iv.  138.  In  1839  he  became  associated  aa 
teacher  with  A.  N.  Johnson  in  Boston,  and 
was  his  assistant-organist  at  the  Winter 
Street  and  Park  Street  Churches.  He  also 
began  at  this  time  to  conduct  choral  classes. 
Two  years  later  he  joined  Mason  in  teaching 
in  the  public  schools.  In  1844  he  removed 
to  New  York,  becoming  teacher  of  voice  at 
Abbott's  School  for  Young  Ladies,  Rutgers 
Female  Institute  and  Union  Theological 
Seminary,  and  organist  at  the  Mercer  Street 
Presbyterian  Church.  He  went  to  Paris  in 
1850,  and  studied  voice  for  a  year  with  Giulio 
Alary  and  Jacques  Potharst.  On  his  return 
he  composed  the  cantata  '  The  Flower-Queen,' 
to  a  text  by  Fanny  Crosby,  and  wrote  some 
songs,  under  the  name  'G.  Friedrich  Wurzel,' 
for  the  Christy  Minstrels.  Of  these  songs 
'Hazel  Dell'  and  'Rosalie,  the  Prairie  Flower* 
were  most  popular.  The  success  of  these  led 
him  to  devote  more  time  to  composition, 
though  he  continued  to  hold  '  conventions ' 
in  various  cities.  About  1858  he  became 
a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Root  &  Cady  (his 
brother,  E.  T.  Root  and  C.  M.  Cady),  music- 
dealers  in  Chicago,  and  in  1859  moved  thither. 
When  the  Civil  War  opened  he  began  com- 
posing songs  which  became  extremely  popular. 
The '  Battle-Cry  of  Freedom '  (words  and  music) 
dates  from  1861,  and  was  followed  by  'Just 
before  the  battle,  mother,'  'Tramp,  tramp, 
tramp,  the  boys  are  marching,'  'The  Vacant 
Chair,'  and  many  others.  A  full  list  is  given 
in  his  autobiography,  The  Story  of  a  Musical 
Life,  1891.  The  losses  incident  to  the  Chicago 
fire  of  1871  led  to  the  dissolution  of  the  firm 
of  Root  &  Cady,  but  Chicago  remained  his 
headquarters  till  the  end  of  his  life.  The 
University  of  Chicago  made  him  Mus.D.  in 
1881.  His  popular  cantatas  included  'Daniel' 
(1853),  'The  Pilgrim  Fathers'  (1854),  'Bel- 
shazzar's  Feast'  (1860),  and  'The  Haymakers' 
(1857).  He  also  wrote  or  edited  some  70 
collections,  mainly  for  church,  school  or  con- 
vention. See  TUNE-BOOKS,  1849.  [  R.4  ]

SAENGER,  GUSTAV  (May  31,  1865, 
New  York),  studied  violin  with  C.  Richter, 
Leopold  Meyer  and  Leopold  Damrosch  and 
composition  with  C.  C.  Muller.  For  many 
years  he  was  an  active  violinist  and  teacher, 
playing  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House  and 
with  the  Philharmonic  and  Symphony  So- 
cieties. In  1893  he  became  assistant-con- 
ductor to  Furst  at  the  Empire  Theater  and 
later  succeeded  him.  Thus  he  had  charge 
of  the  music  for  all  the  productions  of  the 
Frohman  companies,  besides  writing  much 
original  music  for  them.  In  1897  Carl  Fischer 
secured  him  as  arranger,  reviser  and  trans- 
lator. This  work  increased  so  much  that

in  1909  he  withdrew  from  his  theatrical 
position  to  become  editor  of  the  Fischer 
publications.  He  thus  took  up  the  care  of 
'The  Metronome,'  devoted  to  band  and 
orchestra  music,  and  in  1904  that  of  'The 
Musical  Observer,'  a  more  general  periodical. 
He  has  been  specially  successful  in  arranging 
music  for  the  violin,  and  has  also  written 
a  Concertino  in  G  minor,  op.  83,  five  'Silhou-

ST.  CECILIA  SOCIETY,  THE.  Several 
societies  of  this  name  came  into  existence  in 
the  18th  century,  the  most  important  of  them 
being  that  of  Charleston,  S.  C.,  founded  in 
1762  (at  first  called  'St.  CoecihV !),  and  long 
continuing  as  a  center  of  interesting  concert- 
activity  (see  Sonneck,  Concert-Life,  pp.  16-9, 
22-4,  27-8,  40,  with  a  rescript  of  the  Society's 
rules).  Another  was  at  New  York  in  1791-99, 
then  merged  into  the  Philharmonic  Society. 
There  was  a  third  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  in  1793.

Palestrina  style  in  the  Roman  Catholic 
Church.  The  Society  began  holding  annual

parts  of  Converse's  'Masque  of  St.  Louis,' 
given  at  the  150th  anniversary  of  the  founding 
of  the  city.  Its  success  led  to  its  continuance 
as  a  permanent  choral  society,  the  conductor 
being  Frederick  Fischer.  Three  or  four  con- 
certs are  given  annually,  besides  more  or 
less  extension-work  in  furtherance  of  com- 
munity-singing. Besides  oratorios  and  similar 
works,  the  Society  has  presented  several 
American  cantatas,  such  as  Converse's  'The 
Peace-Pipe'  (1917),  Farwell's  'The  Ever- 
green-Tree' (1918),  Paine's  'A  Hymn  of  the 
West,'  Skilton's  'The  Witch's  Daughter'  and

A.  Sabin.  The  scene  is  laid  'on  the  Hill  of 
Tara  in  Meath,  Ireland,  on  Easter,  432.' 

ST.  PAUL  SYMPHONY  ORCHESTRA, 
THE,  was  formed  in  1908  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Walter  H.  Rothwell,  who  remained  at 
its  head  till  1915,  when  conditions  due  to  the 
war  led  to  its  discontinuance.  Its  place  was 
taken  by  the  St.  Paul  Philharmonic  Orchestra,

She  sang  in  concert  with  many  noted  artists 
and  choral  societies.  In  1879-81  she  taught 
at  Wellesley  College.  Her  song-writing  de- 
veloped unconsciously,  without  much  in- 
fluence from  technical  study.  'The  Cry  of 
Rachel'  has  become  noted  through  its  pre- 
sentation by  Mme.  Schumann-Heink.  In 
many  cases  she  has  written  words  as  well  as 
music.  Out  of  a  total  list  of  nearly  150  the 
following  sets  may  be  named  as  in  some  way 
representative : 

'Three  Spring-Songs,'  op.  4  (1904)  (Schirmer).

'Five  Songs,'  op.  34  (1916)  (Schirmer). 

She  has  also  written  a  number  of  sacred 
songs  and  some  hymn-anthems.  In  1881  she 
married  Sumner  Salter  (see  below).  [  R.6  ]

Her  success  was  such  that  she  was  invited 
to  Bayreuth,  .where  she  sang  Kundry  in 
1911.  She  sang  Briinnhilde  in  the  'Ring* 
cycle  at  the  Royal  Opera  in  Lisbon  in  1909,

Supreme  Court.  At  nineteen  she  went  to 
Paris  for  study  at  the  Conservatory  under 
Sbriglia  and  Mme.  Marchesi.  Her  operatic 
debut  was  in  1888  at  the  Hague.  Making  the 
acquaintance  of  Massenet,  he  became  im- 
pressed with  her  compass  of  three  octaves 
and  wrote  '  Esclarmonde '  with  her  voice  in 
mJLncL__In  this  work  she  appeared  at  the  Opera-

which,  too,  was  written  for  her.  In  1897  she 
married  the  Chilean  merchant  Antonio  Terry 
(d.  1900).  She  visited  Petrograd,  Moscow, 
London  and  New  York  (1895  and  '98,  Metro- 
politan Opera  House),  but  her  popularity 
was  greatest  in  Paris.  Massenet,  in  his 
Souvenirs,  called  her  an  'ideal'  Manon  and  an 
'unforgettable'  Thais.  [  R.7  ]

number  of  players  is  over  80.  The  number 
of  concerts  per  year  is  now  about  50.  The 
repertoire  includes  almost  all  the  standard 
symphonies,  overtures  and  concertos,  with  a 
wide  range  of  modern  works  of  every  kind. 
Premieres  are  recorded  for  Frederic  Jacobi's 
symphonic  poem  'The  Pied  Piper'  (1916) 
and  'A  California  Suite'  (1917),  first  per- 
formances in  America  for  Beethoven's  newly-

SANGERBUND,  DER  AMERIKANI- 
SCHE.  German  singing-societies  early  became 
notable  in  the  Middle  West,  especially  at  Cin- 
cinnati, Chicago,  Milwaukee  and  St.  Louis. 
From  about  1850  the  custom  of  holding  an 
annual  Sangerfest  became  more  or  less  estab- 
lished. In  1868  the  scope  of  these  festivals  was 
enlarged  so  as  to  include  mixed  choral  singing 
with  orchestra.  Thus,  like  the  Liederkranz, 
the  Sangerbund  contributed  to  the  advance  of 
popular  interest  in  choral  and  orchestral  music 
on  a  large  scale.

violin-playing  very  young  and  at  eighteen 
began  five  years'  study  at  Leipzig.  In  1887 
he  came  to  Philadelphia  with  a  visiting  or-

in  1896-98  was  leader  at  the  Columbia  Theater, 
but  in  1898  returned  to  the  Marine  Band  as 
its  director.  This  position  he  still  holds, 
having  developed  the  Band  into  a  significant 
organization,  not  only  in  size,  but  in  artistic 
quality.  In  1908  the  George  Washington 
University  made  him  Mus.D.  His  band-works 
include  the  overture  and  suite  'Pocohontas,' 
the  concert-galop  'The  Ride  of  the  Hussars,'

Boston,  graduated  from  Harvard  in  1880 
and  went  into  real  estate  business  in  Boston. 


One  of  his  properties  was  the  Castle  Square 
Theater.  As  it  was  a  failure  in  other  hands, 
about  1895  he  took  hold  of  it  himself,  giving 
both  grand  and  light  opera  in  English  at 
popular  prices.  Presently  he  sent  out  the 
excellent  Castle  Square  Company  to  other 
cities.  In  1900  he  organized  the  English 
Grand  Opera  Company,  in  the  fall  giving  a 
series  of  performances  at  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House  in  New  York  and  then  touring 
the  country.  Among  its  achievements  were 
'Parsifal'  in  1904-05  with  Roth  well  and 
Moritz  Grimm  as  conductors,  'Madama 
Butterfly'  in  1906-07  for  the  first  time  in 
America,  and  'The  Girl  of  the  Golden  West,' 
in  1911-12.  Meanwhile  other  troupes  under 
his  management  were  presenting  light  opera 
and  musical  comedy  in  many  places.  As 
president  and  director  of  Henry.  W.  Savage, 
Inc.,  and  similar  organizations,  he  has  steadily 
continued  to  purvey  drama,  musical  comedy 
and  more  or  less  opera  to  a  large  and  diversified

began  playing  under  his  father  at  ten,  in 
1864-67  also  studying  under  David  at  Leipzig. 
In  1869  he  became  concertmaster  and  con- 
ductor at  Bremerhaven,  in  1873  leader  of 
summer-concerts  in  Schwerin,  in  1884  followed

ing some  orchestral  concerts,  in  1894  led  the 
Trocadero  concerts  at  the  Columbian  Ex- 
position at  Chicago,  and  in  1895-99  organized 
and  conducted  the  San  Francisco  Symphony 
Orchestra.  In  the  summer  of  1899  his  success 
at  concerts  at  Woodside  Park  in  Philadelphia 
led  to  the  establishment  in  1900  of  the  Phila- 
delphia Symphony  Orchestra,  which  under 
his  leadership  stepped  into  prominence.  In 
1905  he  also  undertook  the  direction  of  the 
Orpheus  and  the  Euridice  Clubs,  but  suc- 
cumbed under  the  triple  burden.  [  R.8  ] 

SCHELLING,  ERNEST  HENRY  (July

Conservatory,  and  then  with  Moszkowski, 
Pruckner,  Leschetizky,  Huber,  Barth  and  Pad- 
erewski  (1898-1902,  at  Merges,  Switzerland). 
He  has  given  recitals  in  France,  England, 
Germany,  Spain,  Russia  and  South  America, 
besides  many  appearances  in  the  United 
States.  He  has  toured  with  the  Boston 
Symphony,  Chicago,  Philadelphia  and  New 
York  Philharmonic  Orchestras,  and  played

Kreisler) ;  a  sonata  for  violin  and  piano ; 
variations  for  piano  on  an  original  theme ; 
and  other  chamber-music  and  piano-pieces. 
The  'Fantastic  Suite,'  perhaps  his  best-known 
work,  was  written  in  1905-06,  orchestrated 
the  next  year,  and  first  played  by  the  composer 
with  the  Concertgebouw  Orchestra  in  Amster- 
dam on  Oct.  10,  1907,  Mengelberg  conducting. 
He  played  it  with  the  Boston  Symphony 
Orchestra  and  the  New  York  Symphony 
Society  in  1908,  and  in  1909  with  the  Thomas 
Orchestra  in  Chicago.  It  is  in  four  movements, 
and  the  themes  of  the  last  are  built  on  'Dixie,' 
'Old  Folks  at  Home'  and  'Yankee  Doodle'  (see 
thematic  analysis  by  the  composer  in  'Die 
Musik,'  vii.  17) .  He  enlisted  in  the  war  and  was 
made  captain.  He  went  to  Poland  with  his  inti- 
mate friend  Paderewski  in  the  fall  of  1918.  In 
the  summer  of  191 9  he  suffered  severe  injuries  in 
an  automobile  accident  in  Switzerland.  [  R.9  ]

Erich  Schmidt,  meanwhile  continuing  with 
music.  In  1902  he  became  conductor  of  the 
Stuttgart  Opera,  and  in  1903  at  the  Municipal 
Theater  in  Wiirzburg,  besides  assisting  Mottl 
and  Zumpe  at  the  Munich  summer-festivals 
and  Strauss  in  the  winter  at  Berlin.  In  1905 
Conried  brought  him  to  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House  as  assistant-conductor  to  Hertz 
and  (1907-08)  to  Mahler.  In  1907  he  became 
reader  and  critic  for  G.  Schirmer,  except  an 
interval  in  1919-20.  In  1909  he  founded  the 
MacDowell  Chorus,  which,  with  the  House 
Music  Society,  in  1910  began  concert-giving. 
In  1912  this  became  the  Schola  Cantorum, 
which  he  has  made  one  of  the  significant  insti- 
tutions of  New  York.  Since  1912  he  has  also 
been  choir-director  at  Temple  Emanu-El.  In 
1913  he  was  in  charge  of  a  gala-concert  arranged 
by  the  Institute  Francais  des  Fjtats-Unis  for  the 
French  ambassador,  illustrative  of  the  music 
of  the  various  French  provinces.  He  began 
publishing  songs  about  1900,  about  25  before 
coming  to  America  and  the  same  number 
since.  In  recent  years  he  has  been  much 
engaged  with  choral  works,  mostly  based  on 
the  extensive  folk-song  material  that  he  has 
collected.  In  his  research-work  he  has  the 
advantage  of  knowing  many  languages,  in- 
cluding Russian  and  Spanish.  He  has  edited 
five  collections  of  Russian  music,  two  of 
Spanish,  one  of  Finnish  student-songs,  etc., 
besides  reproducing  many  single  illustrations 
from  other  national  treasuries.  He  has  made 
most  of  the  translations,  with  Deems  Taylor 
as  collaborator.  Among  his  many  works  are 
the  following : 

'Dance  and  Devotion,'  op.  4,  four  songs  from 
Gustav  Falke. 

Five  Songs,  op.  5,  from  Hartleben,  Busse,  Holty 
and  Brentano. 

"Trois  M61odies  de  Paul  Verlaine,'  op.  7. 

'Old  Swiss  Lays,'  op.  9,  from  Gottfried  Keller. 

Three  Songs  from  Keats,  op.  11. 

'Three  Sonnets  of  Mediaeval  Italy,'  op.  14,  trans- 
lated by  Rossetti. 

Three  English  Songs,  op.  15,  from  Wilde,  Swin- 
burne and  Meredith. 

'  Vasilissa  the  Fair'  or  'The  Prince  and  the  Maiden,' 
for  chorus. 

'A  Miracle  of  St.  Raymond,'  op.  18,  after  Movera, 
for  12-part  chorus  a  cappella. 

'A  Miracle  of  the  Virgin  Mary,'  op.  19,  after  a 
Spanish  canticle,  for  8-part  chorus  a  cappella 
or  4-part  with  organ. 

'The  Virgin's  Plaint,'  op.  20,  from  the  Mystery 
of  Ehc,  after  Pedrell,  for  solo,  chorus  and  harp. 

These,  with  many  others  from  different 
sources,  some  of  them  variously  arranged 
either  for  chorus  or  for  solo,  are  mostly  pub- 
lished by  Schirmer  (some  Ditson  or  Gray). 
His  collections  include  A  Century  of  Russian 
Song  from  Glinka  to  Rachm a n» :•••/,  1911, 
Masters  of  Russian  Song,  2  vt.'ib  ,  1917,  A 
Cappella  Choruses  from  the  R\  I  :  •''.*"  Liturgy, 
1913-17,  Sixty  Russian  FaMc-Scngi-.,- 3  vols., 


1918-19,  Songs  of  the  Russian  People,  1915, 
Ten  Student-Songs  of  Finland,  1915,  Six  Old 
French  Christmas  Carols,  1908,  The  Development 
of  Opera  (illustrative  selections  from  various 
periods),  1912,  Old  Spanish  Sacred  Motets, 
1918,  Modern  Spanish  Choral  Works,  1918. 
He  has  also  written  articles  on  Mussorgsky 
and  Schonberg,  and  numerous  valuable  intro- 
ductions to  his  collections.  [  R.9  ]

SCHIRMER,  RUDOLPH  ERNEST  (July 
22,  1859,  New  York:  Aug.  20,  1919,  Santa 
Barbara,  Cal.),  the  eldest  son  of  Gustav 
Schirmer,  was  early  educated  in  New  York 
and  Weimar,  and  graduated  from  Princeton 
University  in  1880  and  from  Columbia  Law 
School  in  1884.  At  his  father's  death  in  1893 
he  became  president  of  the  firm  of  G.  Schirmer. 
Besides  being  more  and  more  intimately 
concerned  in  the  large  business  of  this  house, 
he  was  active  in  many  other  ways.  He  was 
a  director  in  both  the  Oratorio  and  the  Sym- 
phony Societies,  a  trustee  of  the  Institute  of 
Musical  Art,  and  a  donor  of  libraries  to  the 
latter,  to  Princeton  University  and  to  the 
city  of  Santa  Barbara.  With  his  younger 
brother,  Gustave,  he  was  not  only  instru- 
mental in  vastly  extending  the  publishing- 
business  in  which  they  were  both  engaged, 
but  in  fostering  whatever  made  for  the  ex- 
tension of  musical  culture  of  the  highest  kind.

SCHIRMER,  G.,  INC.,  is  the  corporate 
name  of  the  great  publishing-firm  in  New 
York  established,  as  told  in  Vol.  iv.  265-6, 
by  Gustav  Schirmer  and  developed  by  his 
two  sons.  The  total  number  of  its  publi- 
cations is  now  about  30,000,  of  which  perhaps 
22,000  are  piano-pieces,  songs  or)  part-songs. 
The  Library  of  Musical  Classics  is  approaching 
a  total  of  1500.  A  Scholastic  Series  (all 
originally  published  by  the  firm)  was  started 
in  1918.  Two  series  of  orchestral  publications 
are  also  issued.  The  number  of  large  piano- 
scores  of  operas  and  oratorios,  and  of  full 
scores  of  chamber-  and  orchestral  works,  is 
constantly  growing.  In  the  Golden  Treasury 
of  Music  are  numerous  collections,  instru- 
mental and  vocal,  many  of  which  are  unique 
in  their  way.  American  composers  exten- 
sively represented  include  Mrs.  Beach,  Hadley, 
Goldmark,  Campbell-Tipton,  Burleigh,  Her- 
bert, De  Koven,  Coerne,  Mason,  John  Powell, 
D.  S.  Smith,  Rogers,  Woodman,  Schindler, 
Marzo,  Sousa,  Coombs,  Vogrich,  Friml,  H.  A. 
and  J.  S.  Matthews,  Strube,  Speaks,  and  a  host 
of  others.  Works  by  foreign  composers  are 
also  numerous.  Theoretical  and  historical

forth,  such  as  Goetschius'  several  text-books, 
Baker's  Dictionary  of  Musicians,  Sonneck's 
Early  Opera  in  America,  etc.  Since  1915 
'The  Musical  Quarterly,'  a  monthly  of  the 
highest  class,  has  been  added.  The  present 
headquarters  is  at  3  East  43rd  Street,  in  a 
building  specially  erected  in  1909.  The 
engraving,  printing  and  binding  department 
is  located  in  Long  Island  City  —  one  of  the 
finest  music-making  plants  in  the  world,  with 
a  staff  of  275  workers.  Since  1891  the  Boston 
Music  Co.  has  been  a  branch  of  the  business. 
A  London  branch  was  maintained  in  1913-17, 
then  becoming  Winthrop  Rogers,  Ltd.

SCHMIDT,  ARTHUR  P.,  of  Boston,  is  a 
music-publishing  business  established  in  1876. 
It  now  has  branches  in  New  York  and  Leipzig. 
Besides  an  extensive  general  catalogue,  the 
firm  has  made  a  specialty  of  the  work  of 
American  composers,  in  both  small  and  large 
forms.  Among  its  notable  publications  for 
orchestra  are  Mrs.  Beach's  'Gaelic'  Sym- 
phony, Chadwick's  2nd  and  3rd  Symphonies, 
Foote's  'Francesca  da  Rimini'  and  Suites  in 
D  minor  and  E,  Hadley's  .'Four  Seasons' 
Sympjhony,  MacDowell's  'Lamia'  and  Suite 
in  A,  Paine's  2nd  Symphony  and  '(Edipus 
Tyrannus,'  and  Stojowski's  Violin-Concerto ; 
much  chamber-music  by  these  composers 
and  others ;  and  a  notable  list  of  cantatas 
and  similar  choral  works  of  considerable 
dimensions.  The  catalogue  of  songs  and 
piano-pieces  is  extensive  and  representative. 
In  attention  to  this  field  Schmidt  was  one  of 
the  first  and  has  always  maintained  promi- 
nence and  importance.  The  Boston  head- 
quarters is  at  120  Boylston  St. 

SCHMINKE,  OSCAR  EBERHARD  (Dec. 
12,  1881,  New  York),  took  a  partial  course 
at  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York  and 
graduated  from  the  College  of  Dentistry 
in  1903.  In  1910  he  gave  up  his  practice  as 
dentist  for  composition.  He  had  had  training 
in  piano  and  organ  from  Spielter  and  D6thier, 
with  some  lessons  in  theory  from  Spicker,  but 
is  largely  self-taught.  For  the  organ  he  has 
published  an  effective  'Marche  Russe,'  a 
'March  of  the  Toys,'  an  'Elegy  in  the  form  of 
a  March,'  a  Pastorale,  Festal  Postlude,  etc., 
and  several  songs,  among  them  'A  million 
little  diamonds.'  He  also  has  settings  of 
Tagore  poems  (one  with  orchestra),  a  Scherzo 
for  piano,  a  'Poeme  Exotique,'  a  'Fantasy  on 
Oriental  Themes'  and  other  works  for  organ, 
and  various  choruses  and  songs.  [  R.10  ]

pupils.  From  1875  he  had  three  years  at 
Leipzig,  with  one  at  Weimar  under  Lassen. 
In  1879  he  settled  in  Chicago  as  teacher  and

with  his  striking  ability  in  bringing  to  light 
works  quite  out  of  the  line  of  ordinary  render- 
ing, its  success  has  been  mainly  due.  The 
chorus  in  recent  years  has  averaged  150-200 
singers,  selected  carefully  for  vocal  skill  and 
willingness  to  give  time  for  thorough  practice. 
Besides  giving  many  more  extended  works 
that  are  rarely  heard,  the  chorus  has  made 
a  specialty  of  the  folk-songs  of  many  nations. 
Its  concerts  have  always  had  high  individu- 
ality, supplying  an  element  in  the  season  of 
the  metropolis  that  is  unique  as  well  as  charm- 
ing. Among  the  works  in  its  repertoire  the 
following  may  be  noted,  most  of  them  not 
before  given  in  New  York  or  America  :

t  SCHOLES,  PERCY  A.  (1877,  Leeds,  Eng- 
land), has  given  himself  almost  wholly 
to  educational  interests.  In  1900-01  and 
'03  he  was  music-master  at  Kent  College  in 
Canterbury,  in  1901-03  at  Kingswood  College 
in  South  Africa  and  from  1904  for  a  time 
teacher  in  the  Leeds  Municipal  School  of 
Music,  and  inspector  for  the  Board  of  Edu- 
cation in  London.  He  has  long  served  as 
extension-lecturer  for  Oxford,  London  and 
Manchester  Universities.  He  founded  the 
Home  Music-Study  Union  and  since  1908  has 
been  the  energetic  editor  of  its  organ,  'The 
Music-Student,'  which  has  included  many 
articles  of  general  importance,  and  also 
'Youth  and  Music,'  for  children.  He  has 
published  Everyman  and  his  Music,  1917, 
An  Introduction  to  British  Music,  1918,  and 
A  Listener's  Guide  to  Music,  1919,  and  has  a 


work  on  Purcell  that  is  almost  ready.  He 
has  also  written  extensively  for  periodicals. 
Besides  holding  a  degree  from  Oxford,  he  is 
an  associate  of  the  R.  C.  M.,  on  innumerable 
committees  connected  with  musical  enter- 
prises, and  president  of  the  Union  that  regards 
music  in  the  large  'public  schools'  like  Eton, 
Harrow  and  the  like.  During  the  Great  War 
he  was  extremely  active  as  lecturer  under  the 
War  Office  and  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  as  organizer 
of  musical  activities  in  camps  both  in  England 
and  on  the  Continent.  In  1915  he  visited 
America  at  the  invitation  of  the  M.  T.  N.  A. 
and  inspected  manifold  musical  enterprises, 
besides  lecturing  at  many  colleges.

SCHROEDER,  ALWIN  (June  15,  1855, 
Neuhaldensleben,  Germany),  was  early  a 
piano-pupil  of  his  father  and  J.  B.  Andre,  but 
later  studied  violin  with  De  Ahna  in  Berlin 
and  theory  with  Tappert.  With  his  three 
brothers  the  Schroeder  Quartet  was  formed 
in  1871-72,  he  taking  the  viola.  Self-taught 
on  the  'cello,  he  became  first  'cellist  in  Liebig'a 
Orchestra  in  1875,  and  five  years  later  joined 
the  Gewandhaus  Orchestra  in  Leipzig.  Here 
he  taught  in  the  Conservatory  and  played 
in  the  Petri  Quartet.  In  1891  he  came  to 
Boston,  becoming  solo  'cellist  in  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra  and  a  member  of  the 
Kneisel  Quartet.  With  the  rest  of  the 
Quartet  he  resigned  from  the  Orchestra  in 
1903  and  removed  to  New  York.  He  con- 
tinued with  the  Quartet  until  the  spring  of 
1907,  when  he  returned  to  Germany.  In 
Frankfort-am-Main  he  was  for  one  year  solo

in  the  Hoch  Conservatory,  but  in  1908  he 
returned  to  Boston  and  joined  the  Hess- 
Schroeder  Quartet.  After  two  years  this 
organization  was  disbanded,  and  he  resumed 
(till  1912)  his  former  place  in  the  Symphony 
Orchestra.  In  1915  he  joined  the  Margulies 
Trio  (New  York)  and  the  Boston  String 
Quartet.  As  both  soloist  and  ensemble-player 
he  is  held  in  the  highest  estimation.  He

SCHULZ,  LEO  (Mar.  28,  1865,  Posen, 
Germany),  played  in  public  on  the  'cello  when 
only  five.  He  studied  at  the  Berlin  Hoch- 
schule  and  made  his  mature  debut  in  1876. 
In  1885  he  became  principal  'cellist  in  the 
Philharmonic  Orchestra,  and  in  1886-89  held 
the  same  position  atthe  Gewandhaus  in  Leipzig. 
Coming  then  to  America,  he  was  for  one  year 
in  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra,  but  in 
1890  began  his  long  connection  with  the  New 
York  Philharmonic  Society,  unbroken  save 
for  the  years  1906-08,  when  he  played  with 
the  Symphony  Society.  For  many  years  he 
taught  at  the  National  Conservatory  and 
conducted  its  orchestra,  and  in  1904-15  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Margulies  Trio.  For 
thirty  years  he  has  been  much  in  request  as 
soloist.  He  has  written  three  string-quartets, 
a  string-quintet,  a  piano-trio,  a  'cello-concerto 
and  other  'cello-pieces,  a  cantata  and  some 
songs.  He  has  also  edited  several  collections 
for  his  instrument.  [  R.7  ]

Rossler  (June  15,  1861,  Lieben,  near  Prague, 
Bohemia).  See  article  in  Vol.  iv.  383-4.  Her 
father  was  an  army  officer.  From  her  Italian 
mother  she  learned  many  operatic  airs  as  a 
child,  and  at  eleven  sang  in  the  choir  of  the 
Ursuline  convent  at  Prague.  Her  first  real 
lessons  were  in  1874,  from  Marietta  von 
Leclair  of  Graz,  where  in  1876  she  was  alto- 
soloist  in  Beethoven's  9th  Symphony  with 
the  Academischer  Gesangverein.  At  Dresden 
she  studied  with  Aloysia  Krebs-Michalesi 
and  Franz  Wiillner,  and  made  her  operatic 
d6but  in  1878.  Her  first  appearance  at  Berlin 


was  at  Kroll's  in  1887.  In  1896-1906  (except 
1904)  she  sang  at  all  the  performances  of  the 
'Ring'  at  Bayreuth  as  Erda,  First  Norn  or 
Waltraute.  In  1898  she  was  engaged  at  the 
Berlin  Opera,  with  leave  to  sing  in  the  winters 
in  New  York.  In  America  she  was  first 
heard  as  Ortrud  on  Nov.  7,  1898,  in  Chicago, 
and  on  Jan.  9,  1899,  at  the  Metropolitan 
in  New  York.  Her  signal  success  led  her  to 
purchase  release  from  her  Berlin  contract. 
In  1903-04  she  made  her  first  extended 
concert-tour  in  America,  and  the  next  year 
was  everywhere  heard  in  Edwards'  'Love's 
Lottery.'  In  1908-09  she  sang  in  opera  and 
concert  in  the  chief  cities  of  Europe,  in  1909 
creating  the  role  of  Clytemnestra  in  Strauss' 
'Elektra'  at  Dresden.  She  retired  from  the 
Metropolitan  in  1904,  but  has  occasionally 
sung  there,  at  the  Manhattan  or  with  the 
Chicago  Opera  Company.  Her  activity  has 
been  mainly  transferred  to  the  concert-stage, 
with  a  hundred  or  more  song-recitals  annually 
and  frequent  engagements  with  leading 
orchestras.  Her  operatic  r6pertoire  includes 
about  150  roles,  from  Wagnerian  drama  to 
light  opera.  She  was  the  wife  of  Ernst 
Heink  in  1882-92,  of  the  actor  Paul  Schumann 
in  1893-1904,  and  of  William  Rapp,  Jr.,  of 
Chicago  in  1905-14.  In  1905  she  became  an 
American  citizen.  [  R.8  ]

t  SCHWEITZER,  ALBERT  (Jan.  4,  1875, 
Kaysersberg,  Alsace),  is  distinguished  in 
theology,  medicine  and  music.  His  university 
studies  were  at  Strassburg,  Paris  and  Berlin. 
In  1902  he  began  teaching  at  Strassburg, 
but  turned  aside  to  prepare  for  work  as  medi- 
cal missionary  in  Equatorial  Africa.  There, 
nominally  under  the  Mission  Evangelique  of 
France,  he  was  stationed  at  Lambaren6  on  the 
Ogow6  River.  During  the  war  he  was  interned 
as  a  German  subject,  but  has  lately  returned 
to  France.  His  chief  theological  books  are 
Die  Religionsphilosophie  Immanuel  Kants, 
1899,  and  Das  Messianitdts-  und  Leidens- 
geheimniss  —  eine  Skizze  des  Lebens  Jesu,  1901 
(in  English  as  The  Quest  of  the  Historical 
Jesus')  —  a  specially  significant  work. 
Throughout  his  life  he  has  been  a  musical 
student,  beginning  with  organ-lessons  in 
Miilhausen  and  Strassburg,  and  from  1893 
with  Widor  in  Paris.  From  1896  he  was 
organist  for  Bach  concerts  at  Strassburg, 
from  1906  was  organist  for  the  Bach  Society 
in  Paris,  and  in  1909  was  chairman  of  the 
organ-making  conference  at  the  I.  M.  G. 
Congress  in  Vienna.  He  has  published  Jean-

graduated  at  Gustavus  Adolphus  College  in 
1891  and  took  a  Ph.D.  at  Yale  in  1895,  where 
he  continued  as  teacher  of  psychology  and 
philosophy  till  1902.  Since  1902  he  has  been 
at  the  State  University  of  Iowa,  becoming 
dean  of  the  Graduate  College  in  1908.  Early 
trained  in  music,  he  has  given  increasing  at- 
tention to  problems  of  musical  psychology, 
conducting  extensive  experiments  of  various 
kinds,  especially  for  ascertaining  degrees  of 
musical  talent.  He  classifies  the  latter  under 
these  heads :  Sensitivity,  Action,  Memory 
and  Imagination,  'Intellect  and  Feeling.  For 
each  of  these  both  quantitative  and  quali- 
tative tests  have  been  devised,  leading  to  the 
making  for  a  given  case  of  a  'talent-chart.' 
Special  apparatus  employed  includes  in- 
ventions like  the  audiometer,  the  tonoscope, 
the  spark-chronoscope,  a  serial-action  ap- 
paratus and  a  chronograph.  Some  tests 
have  been  made  into  phonograph-form  for 
school-use.  The  purpose  throughout  has 
been  not  only  scientific,  but  also  to  give  help 
in  choosing  a  musical  vocation  and  in  over- 
coming technical  difficulties.  He  has  pub- 
lished The  Psychology  of  Musical  Talent,  1917, 
and  a  long  series  of  articles  in  various  peri- 
odicals, like  'The  Musical  Quarterly,'  'The 
Etude,'  and  the  Proceedings  of  the  M.  T.  N.  A.,

THE,  was  founded  in  1907.  Its  conductor 
till  1909  was  Michael  Kegrize,  followed  by 
Henry  K.  Hadley  in  1909-11.  In  1911  its 
place  was  taken  by  the  new  Philharmonic 
Orchestra,  led  by  John  Spargur,  which  in  1919 
secured  a  guaranty  for  three  years  that  will 
enable  it  to  resume  concerts  of  the  first  order.

from  his  mother,  a  pupil  of  Marchesi,  began 
piano-study  at  ten  with  Graedener,  going 
on  later  with  Epstein  and  Grill,  and  taking 
theory  with  Nottebohm.  Meanwhile  he  had 
collegiate  education  at  the  Theresianum.  In 
1875  he  studied  with  Brahms,  and  in  1877-79 
was  in  Petrograd,  with  Rubinstein  for  adviser. 
In  1881  he  settled  in  Chicago  as  pianist, 
teacher  and  composer.  For  a  time  he  taught 
harmony  at  the  Chicago  Musical  College  and 
was  organist  at  the  Jefferson  Park  Presby- 
terian Church.  His  published  compositions 
are  mostly  songs  and  piano-pieces,  but  he  left 
also  two  operas,  'The  Gladiators'  and  'The 
Missing  Link,'  a  piano-quintet,  two  concertos 
and  two  sonatas  for  piano,  variations  for  two 
pianos,  27  concert-eludes  for  piano,  and  over 
200  songs.  [  R.7  ]

the  Cologne  Opera.  Since  1912  he  has  been 
professor  of  music  at  the  University  of  Cali- 
fornia. Recently  he  has  made  special  studies 
in  musicology  and  musicological  methods. 
He  has  composed  two  masques  for  orchestra, 
'Dedra'  (1914)  and  'The  Queen's  Masque' 
(1915),  and  an  overture  for  full  orchestra 
after  Yeats'  'Shadowy  Waters.'  He  has  also 
composed  chamber-music,  a  violin-sonata 
and  about  25  songs  (some  Schirmer).  With

to  America,  after  the  death  of  Leopold  Dam- 
rosch,  to  conduct  German  opera  at  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House,  and  made  his  debut  with 
'Lohengrin'  on  Nov.  23,  1885.  During  his 
career  at  the  Metropolitan  he  conducted  the 
first  performance  in  America  of  '  Die  Meister- 
singer'  (Jan.  4,  1886),  'Tristan  und  Isolde'

SELBY,  WILLIAM  (1738,  England  : 
1798,  Boston),  came  to  Boston  about  1771. 
He  had  been  an  organist  in  England  since 
1767  and  was  also  an  excellent  harpsichordist. 
In  1774  he  became  organist  at  Trinity  Church 
in  Newport,  R.  I.,  but  by  Easter,  1777,  was 
established  at  King's  Chapel  in  Boston, 
where  he  apparently  remained  till  his  death. 
Besides  conducting  a  shop  for  the  sale  of 
groceries  and  liquor,  he  was  much  in  evidence 
as  player,  teacher  and  concert-manager,  from 
about  1782  also  as  composer.  At  some  of 
his  concerts  extracts  from  Handel's  oratorios 
were  sung  by  the  Musical  Society,  of  which 
he  was  promoter,  if  not  conductor.  His 
programs  show  remarkable  knowledge  and 
enterprise.  His  own  works  included  songs, 
anthems  and  instrumental  pieces,  among  them 
Voluntaries  or  Fugues  for  organ  or  harpsi- 
chord, a  Concerto  for  organ  or  harpsichord 
'with  instrumental  parts,'  a  Sonata  for  two 
violins  and  'cellos,  etc.  See  Sonneck,  Concert- 
Life  in  America,  with  his  remark  that  'Boston's 
musical  history  during  the  last  thirty  years  of 
the  18th  century  may  be  said  to  have  centered 
in  the  personality  of  this  interesting  and  am- 
bitious musician.'  [  R.I  ] 

SEMBRICH,  MARCELLA  (Feb.  15,  1858, 
Wisniewczyk,  Galicia).  See  article  in  Vol. 
iv.  409-10.  Her  first  American  appearance 
was  as  Lucia  at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House 
on  Oct.  24,  1883.  At  Abbey's  benefit  at  the 
end  of  the  season  she  played  a  violin-concerto 
of  De  Beriot,  with  a  Chopin  nocturne  and  then 
an  aria  from  'La  Sonnambula'  for  encores, 
besides  taking  the  violin-obbligato  in  the 
Bach-Gounod  'Ave  Maria,'  sung  by  Nilsson. 
In  1897  she  came  again  for  a  concert- tour, 
and  sang  at  the  Metropolitan  for  the  next 
two  seasons  and,  after  another  season  of 
concerts,  from  1901  till  her  retirement  in  1909. 
At  her  farewell  (Feb.  6,  1909)  she  appeared 
in  three  of  her  famous  roles,  Norina  in  'Don 
Pasquale,'  Rosina  in  the  'Barbiere*  and 
Susanna  in  'Figaro's  Hochzeit'  —  the  last 
in  German,  Mahler  conducting.  Among  the 
many  tributes  were  a  string  of  pearls  bought 
by  popular  subscription  and  presented  by 
Mayor  Low,  and  a  punch-bowl  from  the 
directors  (who  made  her  the  first  honorary 
member  of  the  Opera  House  Company),  and 
there  was  a  ball  at  the  Savoy  and  a  dinner 
from  the  musicians  of  the  city.  A  day  ou 
two  later  she  left  for  London  and  a  concert- 


trip  in  Russia,  returning  from  which  in  1910 
she  bade  farewell  to  the  stage  in  Berlin,  Frank- 
fort and  other  German  cities.  In  1910-11 
she  was  still  active  in  concert  and  song-recitals 
on  both  sides  of  the  ocean,  settling  in  Lausanne 
and  Nice.  When  the  war  broke  out  she  was 
in  Switzerland.  In  October,  1914,  she  re- 
sumed song-recitals  in  New  York,  but  her  work 
as  head  of  the  American  Polish  Relief  so 
exhausted  her  that  at  the  opening  of  1917 
she  permanently  retired.  She  had  just  begun 
a  series  of  historical  recitals  that  had  been 
planned  to  be  her  closing  public  act.  Her 
husband  died  in  May,  1917.  She  makes  her 
home  at  present  in  New  York.  Of  her  emi- 
nence as  a  song-singer  Henderson  has  said: 
'The  depth  of  expression  attained  by  her  in 
her  wonderful  song-recitals  is  due  to  a  com- 
bination of  perfect  tone  with  musical  in- 
telligence. Bigger  tone,  more  brilliancy  of 
style,  are  demanded  in  opera,  but  in  the 
interpretation  of  the  song  complete  revelation 
of  the  poetic  and  musical  content  of  the  work 
is  the  absolute  requirement.  This  Mme. 
Sembrich  has  been  able  to  supply.'  [  R.7  ]

for  orchestra,  about  20  songs,  pieces  for  'cello 
and  for  piano,  36  teaching-pieces  for  violin

literature,  but  also  took  a  medical  degree  and 
lectured  on  art-topics.  His  interest  in  the 
music  of  the  Orient  led  to  his  concentrating 
upon  musical  work.  In  1898  he  built  a 
house  in  Kent,  England,  and  cultivated  a 
considerable  estate.  In  1915,  however,  the

SHERWOOD,  WILLIAM  HALL  (Jan.  31, 
1854,  Lyons,  N.  Y.  :  Jan.  7, 1911,  Chicago), 
was  the  son  of  Rev.  L.  H.  Sherwood,  the 
founder  of  the  Lyons  Musical  Academy.  He 
played  frequently  in  public  from  his  ninth 
year.  In  1866-71  he  taught  in  his  father's 
school  and  secured  a  g^'  al  education.  After 
some  lessons  from  W.  am  Mason  in  1871 
he  went  to  Berlin,  where  ne  studied  piano  with 
Kullak  and  theory  with  Weitzmann.  He 
later  took  composition  with  Doppler,  piano 
with  Deppe,  counterpoint  and  composition 
with  Richter,  and  finally  piano  with  Liszt 
at  Weimar.  He  gave  successful  concerts  in 
Berlin  and  Hamburg,  and  returned  to  America 
in  1876.  Concerts  in  New  York,  Boston, 
Philadelphia  (including  the  Centennial  Ex- 
hibition, with  the  Thomas  Orchestra),  Cincin- 
nati and  Chicago  soon  established  his  repu- 
tation as  a  virtuoso.  He  settled  in  Boston 
as  a  member  of  the  New  England  Conservatory 
faculty,  and  numbered  Arthur  Whiting  and 
Clayton  Johns  among  his  pupils.  After  a 
few  years  he  forsook  Boston  for  New  York, 
and  from  1889  made  his  home  in  Chicago. 
For  eight  years  he  was  head  of  the  piano- 
department  of  the  Chicago  Conservatory, 
but  in  1897  withdrew  to  establish  the  Sher- 
wood Piano  School.  A  brilliant  and  popular 
pianist,  he  played  with  all  the  leading  or- 
chestras and  gave  recitals  in  every  part  of 
the  United  States  and  Canada.  His  services 
as  a  teacher  were  in  great  demand.  Not 
strongly  tempted  by  composition,  he  is 
represented  only  by  a  group  of  piano-pieces, 
a  'Scherzo  Caprice,'  op.  9,  two  suites,  opp. 
5  and  14,  two  sets  of  'Gypsy  Dances,'  opp.  10 
and  40,  a  'Scherzo  Symphonique,'  an  'Allegro 
Patetico'  and  'Medea.'  [  R.6  ]

SINGER,  OTTO  (July  26,  1833,  Sora, 
Germany  :  Jan.  3,  1894,  New  York),  after 


general  education  at  the  Kreuzschule  in 
Dresden,  in  1851-55  was  at  the  Leipzig 
Conservatory  with  Richter,  Moscheles  and 
Hauptmann.  He  then  taught  in  Leipzig 
for  four  years,  and  during  this  period  a  sym- 
phony and  other  of  his  works  were  played  at 
the  Gewandhaus.  Next  he  went  to  Weimar 
(studying  with  Liszt),  to  Dresden,  and  in 
1867  to  New  York.  Here  he  taught  in  the 
Mason  and  Thomas  Conservatory  until  its 
dissolution  in  1873.  At  one  of  the  Thomas 
concerts  in  1869  he  played  his  piano-concerto. 
In  1873  he  went  to  Cincinnati  as  assistant- 
director  to  Thomas  and  continued  there  till 
1893,  teaching  piano  and  theory  from  1880 
in  the  College  of  Music.  For  the  Festival  of 
1876  he  wrote  the  cantata  '  The  Landing  of  the 
Pilgrim  Fathers,'  and  for  the^opening  of  Music 
Hall  in  1878  the  'Festival  Ode.'  A  successful 
chorus-leader,  he  trained  the  Festival  chorus 
for  some  years,  and  directed  several  festivals 
of  the  North  American  Sangerbund.  His 
'Symphonic  Fantasia'  was  performed  by  the 
Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  under  Gericke. 
Other  works  were  an  Andante  and  Variations 
for  two  pianos,  a  piano-sonata,  a  violin-sonata 
and  piano-pieces.  [  R.5  ] 

'SINGING-SCHOOLS.'  Popular  classes 
for  teaching  the  rudiments  of  music  and 
practicing  hymn-tunes  arose  in  New  England 
before  1750  in  consequence  of  the  movement 
to  introduce  singing  by  note  in  the  churches. 
They  soon  became  common,  not  simply  for 
the  sake  of  the  musical  instruction,  but  as 
a  form  of  social  gathering.  During  the  last 
half  of  the  century  they  were  much  promoted 
by  itinerant  singing-masters  who  gradually 
produced  a  long  list  of  tune-books  for  them 
(see  TUNE-BOOKS).  This  general  movement 
continued  far  into  the  19th  century  and  spread 
to  the  South  and  the  West.  In  many  cases 
it  led  to  the  holding  of  musical  'conventions,' 
and  to  a  small  degree  influenced  the  establish- 
ment of  music  in  the  public  schools  and  even 
of  permanent  music-schools.  See  Ritter, 
Music  in  America,  chaps,  ii-iv.,  Elson,  Hist, 
of  American  Music,  chaps,  i-ii.,  Gould,  Church 
Music  in  America,  etc.  The  Musical  Society 
of  Stoughton,  Mass.,  founded  in  1786  and 
still  existing,  grew  out  of  a  local  'singing- 
school,'  conducted  from  1774  by  Billings.

music  for  the  choral  odes  of  'Electra'  for 
performance  in  Greek  at  Smith  College.

After  teaching  languages  in  Newburgh,  N.  Y.t 
in  1891  he  went  to  Berlin  for  study  with 
Bargiel,  Boise  and  Heintz.  In  1893-96  he 
was  music-master  at  Salem  Academy  in  North 
Carolina.  He  then  studied  further  in  New 
York  with  Buck  and  Shelley.  In  1897  his 
violin-sonata  in  G  minor  was  given  a  prize 
by  the  M.  T.  N.  A.  and  performed  by  Dora 
Becker.  In  1897-1903  he  taught  piano  and 
theory  at  the  State  Normal  School  in  Trenton, 
N.  J.,  and  then  went  to  the  University  of 
Kansas  at  Lawrence,  where  he  has  been 
professor  ever  since.  For  twelve  years  he 
was  also  dean  of  Fine  Arts,  and  he  has  been 
active  as  organizer  and  conductor.  He  is 
a  fellow  of  the  A.  G.  O.  and  has  been  dean  of 
the  Kansas  Chapter,  and  is  prominent  in  several 
teachers'  associations,  besides  giving  lectures 
and  recitals.  The  fact  that  Haskell  Institute, 
a  government  school  for  Indians,  is  near 
Lawrence  led  to  his  studying  and  collecting 
Indian  music.  In  1916  his  'Two  Indian 
Dances,'  originally  written  for  a  student- 
opera,  were  arranged  for  string-quartet  and 
widely  introduced  by  the  Zoellner  Quartet. 
As  scored  for  orchestra  they  were  also  taken 
up  by  various  orchestras,  including  the 
Queen's  Hall  Orchestra  of  London.  In  an 
organ-fantasy  and  sonata  (1916)  he  has  made 
some  use  of  the  whole-tone  scale,  and  in  his 
cantata  'The  Witch's  Daughter'  (1917)  he 
has  given  a  serious  musical  treatment  of  the 
Salem  Witchcraft,  employing  various  modern 
devices.  Besides  the  works  named  above 
he  has  a  'cello-sonata  (1893),  the  cantata 
'The  Ballad  of  Carmilhan,'  a  Theme  and 
Variations  in  E  minor,  for  piano  (1904), 
a  Melody  in  B-flat,  for  organ  (1913),  besides 
other  organ-pieces,  'Three  Indian  Scenes,' 
for  string-quartet  (1918),  and  'Three  Indian 
Sketches,'  for  piano  (1919,  Carl  Fischer). 
He  has  also  written  a  number  of  songs  and 
choruses.  His  'Witch's  Daughter'  was  given 
in  1919  by  the  Pageant  Choral  Society  and 
the  Symphony  Orchestra  of  St.  Louis.  [  R.8  ] 

SKINNER,  ERNEST  M.,  &  COMPANY, 
of  Boston,  was  organized  in  1901  to  employ 
the  skill  and  genius  of  Ernest  M.  Skinner 
in  organ-making.  Under  this  or  similar 
names  it  has  continued  to  produce  a  highly 
significant  series  of  instruments,  many  of 
the  largest  size,  for  important  churches  and 
institutions  throughout  the  country,  making 
a  fine  reputation  for  original  and  distinctive 
voicing,  as  well  as  for  first-class  construction. 
They  have  recently  put  forth  an  'Orchestrator' 
which  is  adapted  to  the  use  of  music-rolls 
with  special  success.

SLEEPER,  HENRY  DIKE  (Oct.  9,  1865, 
Patten,  Me.),  had  his  general  education  at 
the  Worcester  Academy  and  Harvard  College, 
and  graduated  from  the  Hartford  Theological 
Seminary  in  1891,  with  some  post-graduate 
study.  He  took  harmony  and  composition 
with  B.  D.  Allen  and  Paine,  organ  with  Ham- 
mond and  Eddy,  and  singing  with  E.  N. 
Anderson,  F.  W.  Root  and  George  Thorpe 
(London).  After  teaching  at  Beloit  College 
in  1892-94,  at  Georgetown  College  in  Ken- 
tucky in  1894-95,  and  at  the  University  of 
Wisconsin  in  1895-98,  he  went  to  Smith 
College  in  Massachusetts,  where  in  1904  he 
became  head  of  the  music-department,  which 
under  his  hand  has  attained  large  proportions. 
He  has  also  been  church-organist  in  Worcester, 
Mass.,  Madison,  Wis.,  and  Hartford,  Conn., 
and  is  a  fellow  of  the  A.  G.  O.  He  has  always 
been  efficient  in  promoting  church-music, 
speaking  and  writing  much  on  its  behalf. 
In  advancing  the  cause  of  academic  credit 
for  music-study  he  has  also  been  increasingly 
active.  He  has  written  an  orchestral  Lar- 
ghetto  (given  in  popular  concerts  of  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra),  an  organ-suite  in  F 
minor,  a  choral  'Carmen  Saeculare*  (1904, 
Smith  College),  part-songs  and  songs,  and  haa 
edited  (in  part)  The  Common  Order  Choir- 
Book,  1903,  and  the  College  Edition  of  Hymns 
of  Worship  and  Service,  1909.  While  in  college 
he  edited  Songs  of  Harvard,  1886,  which  waa 
the  first  distinctively  Harvard  collection.

SMITH,  DAVID  STANLEY  (July  6,  1877, 
Toledo,  O.),  had  academic  training  at  the 
Toledo  High  School  and  Yale  University, 
where  he  graduated  in  1900,  having  had  coursea 
in  composition  with  Parker.  His  first  work 
in  large  form  was  an  Overture  in  E-flat,  op. 
1,  which  was  played  at  a  students'  concert 
in  1898.  On  graduating,  his  'Ode  for  Com- 
mencement-Day,' op.  4,  was  given  with 
baritone,  men's  chorus  and  orchestra.  After 
a  year  at  Yale'as  a  post-graduate,  he  spent 
a  year  or  more  in  London,  Munich  and  Paris. 
In  1903  he  received  a  Mus.B.  from  Yale, 
submitting  as  thesis  a  Prelude,  Choral  and 
Fugue  for  organ  and  orchestra,  op.  10.  In 
1903  he  began  as  instructor  in  the  Yale  School 
of  Music,  becoming  assistant-professor  in 
1909,  full  professor  in  1916,  and  in  1920 
succeeding  Parker  as  head  of  the  School. 
In  1912  he  had  taken  Parker's  place  as  teacher 
and  conductor  of  both  the  Symphony  Or- 
chestra and.  the  Oratorio  Society.  In  1914

SMITH  COLLEGE,  Northampton,  Mass., 
though  not  belonging  to  the  older  group  of 
women's  colleges,  has  for  some  years  been  the 
largest  of  them.  For  that  reason,  and  because 
emphasis  upon  music  as  an  essential  in  general 
education  was  given  from  its  foundation  in 
1875,  it  may  be  taken  as  an  advanced  type  of 
its  class.  The  development  of  its  musical 
department  has  been  almost  wholly  under  the 
lead  of  two  instructors,  Benjamin  C.  Blodgett 
(1878-1903)  and  Henry  Dike  Sleeper  (instruc- 
tor from  1898,  professor  since  1904).  The 
faculty  numbers  about  25.  About  450 
students  take  music-courses,  those  in  praxis 
including  piano,  voice,  organ,  violin,  harp, 
'cello  and  one  or  two  wind-instruments,  while 
those  in  theory  include  all  grades  of  com- 
position, a  variety  of  courses  in  appreciation 
and  analysis,  and  extensive  work  in  music- 
history.  The  students  in  theory-courses 
largely  predominate.  Since  the  College  offers 
so  large  a  public  within  itself,  demonstrative 
music  in  the  form  of  recitals  and  concerts 
has  been  developed  to  an  extraordinary 
degree,  including  many  symphonic  and 
chamber-concerts,  besides  numerous  solo  reci-

tals.  Work  in  music  is  credited  for  admission 
to  the  College,  and  towards  graduation,  just 
as  other  subjects.  In  praxis-courses  two 
lessons  per  week  with  five  hours  of  practice 
is  counted  for  two  hours'  credit.  In  choosing 
her  subjects  of  study  a  student  may  make 
music  her  'major'  or  one  of  her  'minors.' 
Graduate-study  in  music  is  also  encouraged. 
The  choir  of  about  125  and  the  orchestra  of 
40  are  important  forms  of  ensemble- work. 
There  is  a  considerable  music-library,  both  of 
books  about  music  and  of  musical  literature, 
and  the  department  owns  many  orchestral 
instruments,  besides  a  harpsichord,  a  clavi- 
chord, a  pianola,  victrolas,  etc.  There  are  two 
buildings  devoted  to  music-instruction.  Be- 
sides 55  pianos,  there  are  4  organs,  two  of  them 
of  large  size.

brought  out  at  Queen's  Hall  in  1907  and  often 
repeated  in  England,  Paris  and  Germany, 
as  also  the  chorus  'The  Spirits  of  the  Wood.' 
'The  Wreckers'  was  given  in  English  in  1909, 
at  the  Afternoon  Theater,  in  1910  at  Covent 
Garden,  and  in  1911  under  Beecham.  The 
two  overtures  to  it  are  often  given.  In  1910 
she  was  made  Mus.D.  by  Durham  University. 
Her  latest  opera,  'The  Boatswain's  Mate,' 
in  two  acts,  on  her  own  text  (from  Jacobs' 
story),  and  'The  Wreckers'  were  to  have  been 
given  in  Frankfort  and  Munich  respectively 
in  1915,  but  were  postponed  by  the  war  till 
1920.  She  was  a  prominent  suffrage  agitator 
in  1911  and  was  imprisoned  for  two  months 
in  consequence.  'The  March  of  the  Women' 
and  other  suffrage-music  date  from  this  time. 
During  the  war  she  was  in  radio-work  in 
France.

with  Sandberger,  composition  with  M.  E.

Conservatory  (1898),  piano  with  Kwast  and 


instrumentation  with  Knorr.  In  1899  he 
was  in  Italy,  then  returning  to  America.  In 
1902-17  he  was  in  charge  of  the  Music- 
Division  of  the  Library  of  Congress  in  Wash-

a  mere  accumulation  of  copyright-material 
into  one  of  the  great  music-libraries  of  the 
world,  extending  it  in  several  special  directions 
to  extraordinary  proportions!  Since  1917 
he  has  been  with  the  house  of  G.  Schirmer 
in  New  York,  for  whom  since  1915  he  has 
edited  'The  Musical  Quarterly.'  His  pub- 
lished compositions  are  several  sets  of  highly 
original  songs.  But  he  is  best  known  for  his 
many  and  valuable  books  upon  topics  in 
musical  history  and  criticism.  These  began 
as  far  back  as  1897,  when  he  issued  a  Protest 
gegen  den  Symbolismus  in  der  Musik,  but  the 
main  series  is  as  follows :  Classification  of 
Music  and  Literature  of  Music,  1904  (revised,

the  I.  M.  G.  Sammelbande  he  contributed 
important  studies,  among  them  'Francis 
Hopkinson,  the  First  American  Composer* 
(5.  119)  and  'Early  American  Operas'  (6.  428). 
He  has  also  published  two  volumes  of  poetry, 
Seufzer,  1895,  and  Eine  Todtenmesse,  1898. 
Besides  his  remarkable  skill  in  investigation 
and  the  marshaling  and  presentation  of  his- 
torical data,  he  has  shown  notable  enterprise 
and  practical  wisdom  in  promoting  musical 
progress  in  numerous  ways  —  as,  for  example, 
in  the  recent  formation  of  the  Society  for  the 
Publication  of  American  Music  and  in  further- 
ing the  issue  of  Krehbiel's  long-delayed 
translation  of  Thayer's  Beethoven.  [  R.8  ]

They  were  married  in  Brooklyn,  but  soon 
moved  to  Washington.  The  son  studied  in 
1864-67  with  John  Esputa,  taking  mostly 
violin,  but  also  band-instruments,  and  from 
1867,  while  playing  in  the  Marine  Band  and 
in  civilian  orchestras,  took  up  theory  and 
composition  with  G.  F.  Benkert.  From 
1B72  he  led  the  orchestra  at  the  Theatre 
Comique  and  played  violin  at  Ford's  Opera 
House.  From  1JS74  he  was  leader  or  player 
in  the  Milton-Noble  Comedy  Company  and 
in  Morgan's  Living  Pictures  Company.  In 
1876  he  was  under  Offenbach  in  Philadelphia, 
writing  for  him  the  'International  Congress' 
fantasy  (July  4,  1876).  In  1876-79  he  played 
at  the  Chestnut  Street  Theatre  under  Hassler 
and  at  the  Arch  Street  Theatre  under  Zimmer- 
man. He  then  became  conductor  of  the 
Church  Choir  Company,  writing  for  it  his 
first  comic  opera,  'The  Smugglers,'  and  of 
Mackey's  Comedy  Company,  for  which  he 
wrote  'Our  Flirtations.'  After  being  in  the 
Marine  Band  in  1880-92,  he  formed  the 
Sousa  Band,  giving  the  first  concert  at  Plain- 
field,  N.  J.,  on  Sept.  26,  1892.  With  this  he 
has  made  annual  tours  through  the  United 
States  and  Canada,  besides  four  tours  in 
Europe  and  one  round  the  world.  The  Band 
has  played  at  almost  all  the  great  Expositions, 
besides  long  engagements  at  various  places.  Its 
leader  acquired  the  soubriquet  of '  March  King' 
in  1885  from  a  foreign  journal.  He  has  also 
been  decorated  by  numerous  crowned  heads, 
academies  and  societies.  In  1917  he  became 
lieutenant  in  the  Naval  Reserve.  His  com- 
positions make  a  long  list,  including  10  comic 
operas,  8  'suites,'  the  scenic  'Sheridan's  Ride' 
and  the  symphonic  'Chariot-Race,' almost  100 
marches,  about  20  dances,  about  50  songs, 
and  several  arrangements.  [  R.6  ] 

SOUTHARD,  LUCIEN  H.  (Feb.  4,  1827, 
Sharon,  Vt.  :  Jan.  10,  1881,  Augusta,  Ga.), 
studied  for  a  time  at  Trinity  College  in  Hart- 
ford, whence,  though  expected  to  follow  his 
father  as  physician,  in  1846  he  went  to  Boston 
in  quest  of  music.  In  1851-58  he  was  general 
supervisor  there  in  the  public  schools.  In 
1858-60  he  was  in  Norfolk,  Va.,  leaving  be- 
cause of  Northern  sympathies.  For  a  year 
he  played  an  organ  in  Hartford,  but  enlisted 
in  the  Civil  War  and  served  in  the  Army  of 
the  Potomac  as  cavalry  captain.  He  took 
part  in  many  battles,  was  wounded  early  in 
1865  and  was  then  honorably  discharged  and 
returned  to  Boston.  In  1868,  when  the 
Peabody  Institute  in  Baltimore  established 
its  Conservatory,  he  was  made  its  first  director 
and  the  organizer  of  its  orchestra,  laying 
foundations  on  which  from  1871  Hamerik 
built  with  more  experience  and  brilliance. 
From  1871  he  lived  once  more  in  Boston, 
moving  in  1875  to  Augusta.  Between  1850 


and  1870  he  was  steadily  active  in  composition. 
He  was  notably  successful  with  glees,  church- 
music  and  organ-pieces.  About  1855  he 
completed  the  opera  'The  Scarlet  Letter,' 
parts  of  which  were  sung  at  a  'convention' 
in  that  year.  The  score  of  this,  loaned  by 
his  wife  in  New  York,  was  lost.  In  January, 
1858,  another  opera,  'Omano'  (based  on 
Beckford's  '  Vathek,'  Italian  text  by  Manetta), 
was  twice  given  in  Boston  in  concert-form, 
with  Lang  as  pianist  and  Adams  as  tenor. 
The  score  of  this  remained  in  his  wife's  hands. 
His  publications  included

and  in  1910  took  a  Ph.  D.  at  Princeton  Uni- 
versity, his  thesis  being  on  Milton's  Knowledge 
of  Music  (published  1914).  In  Philadelphia 
he  studied  piano  and  violin,  and  at  Princeton 
led  the  university  choir,  glee-club  and 
orchestra.  In  1910-12  he  taught  in  Asheville, 
N.  C.,  and  has  since  lived  in  New  York.  In 
1913  he  was  music-critic  for  'Life,'  in  1914-18 
for  the  'Mail,'  and  since  1919  for  the  'Times,' 
besides  writing  for  the  Boston  'Transcript.' 
He  has  contributed  many  articles  to  maga- 
zines, prepared  program-notes  and  made  a 
specialty  of  translations  of  song-texts  and 
opera-librettos.  [  R.10  ] 

SPALDING,  ALBERT  (Aug.  15,  1888, 
Chicago),  had  early  training  on  the  violin  in 
Italy,  graduating  from  the  Bologna  Conser- 
vatory in  1902,  besides  later  study  of  com- 
position. In  1905,  having  continued  violin 
under  Lefort  in  Paris,  he  made  his  concert- 
debut  there,  followed  by  many  tours  through- 
out Europe.  He  first  appeared  in  America 
in  1908,  with  the  New  York  Symphony 
Society.  In  1917-19  he  served  in  the  Army 
as  artillery  observation-officer  in  France  and 
Italy.  Besides  his  eminence  as  a  player,  he  has 
written  two  violin-concertos;  a  sonata  for 
violin  and  piano  ;  a  suite  for  violin  and  piano 
(Carl  Fischer)  ;  'Etchings'  (theme,  variations 
and  improvisation) ,  for  violin  and  piano ; 
Theme  and  "Variations  for  orchestra;  four 
'  Serious  Pieces '  for  piano  ;  many  violin-pieces

'Alabama';  and  songs  (Ditson).  [  R.9  ] 

SPALDING,  WALTER  RAYMOND  (May 
22,  1865,  Northampton,  Mass.),  the  son  of 
a  clergyman,  early  became  a  choir-boy.  At 
eleven  he  served  more  or  less  as  organist,  and 
soon  took  up  study  with  S.  B.  Whitney  and 
W.  A.  Locke  (piano).  From  1879  he  was 
organist  in  his  father's  church.  He  graduated 
at  Harvard  in  1887,  with  honors  in  music, 
having  taken  various  courses  with  Paine. 
A  year  of  post-graduate  study  brought  him 
an  A.M.  in  music.  As  yet,  however,  he  was 
equally  interested  in  the  classics  and  modern 
languages.  In  1888-92  he  taught  languages 
at  St.  Mark's  School  in  Southboro,  Mass., 
but  also  had  charge  of  the  music  there  and  in 
the  village  church.  In  1892-95  he  was  in 
Paris  with  Guilmant  and  Widor  and  in  Munich 
under  Rheinberger  and  Thuille.  In  1895  he 
became  instructor  in  music  at  Harvard  till 
1900,  also  serving  as  organist  at  Christ  Church 
in  Cambridge  and  at  Emmanuel  Church  in 
Boston.  In  1903  he  became  assistant-pro- 
fessor at  the  University  and  in  1906  succeeded 
Paine  as  head  of  the  music-division.  Since 
1895  he  has  also  been  music-instructor  at 
Radcliffe  College.  He  has  been  active  in 
various  committees  for  the  promotion  of 
music,  including  that  on  Army  and  Navy 


Camp-Music  during  the  war.  He  has  pub- 
lished Tonal  Counterpoint,  1904,  and  (with 
Arthur  Foote)  Modern  Harmony,  1905,  both 
widely  used  as  text-books.  To  these  is  now 
added  Music,  an  Art  and  a  Language,  1920, 
a  striking  study  in  the  field  of  appreciation.

organized  the  Spiering  Quartet.  In  twelve 
seasons  (1893-1905)  this  Quartet  gave  400 
concerts  in  the  United  States  and  Canada, 
introducing  many  new  works.  His  pedagogic 
work  in  Chicago  included  association  with 
Godowsky  at  the  Chicago  Conservatory  in 
1898-99,  the  direction  of  the  Spiering  Violin 
School  in  1899-1902,  and  associate  director-

violin-instructor  at  the  Stern  Conservatory. 
In  1909  he  returned  to  New  York  as  concert- 
master  of  the  Philharmonic  Society  under 
Mahler.  In  the  spring  of  1911  he  substituted 
during  Mahler's  illness,  conducting  17  concerts. 
In  1911-14  he  again  resided  in  Berlin,  con- 
certizing  in  Germany,  Denmark  and  Swit- 
zerland, and  conducting  a  series  of  sym- 
phony concerts  (1912-14)  with  the  Ber- 
lin Philharmonic  and  Bliithner  Orchestras. 
Novelties  produced  at  these  concerts  were 
symphonies  by  Dukas  and  Paul  Graner, 
suites"  by  Dohnanyi,  Casella  and  Reger, 
Kaun's  overture  'Am  Rhein,'  Hadley's  'Cul-

STANLEY,  ALBERT  AUGUSTUS  (May 
25,  1851,  Manville,  R.  I.),  at  sixteen  was 
already  holding  a  responsible  post  as  organist 
in  Providence.  In  1871-75  he  studied  in 
Leipzig  under  Papperitz,  Reinecke,  Richter 
and  Wenzel.  During  the  last  year  he  was 
Richter's  assistant  and  also  occasional  organist 
at  the  Nikolai- i  Urche.  After  a  year  of  teach- 
ing at  the  Ohio  Wesleyan  College,  in  1876-88 
he  was  organist  at  Grace  Church  in  Providence. 
Since  1888  he  has  been  professor  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  and  from  1893  conductor 
of  the  May  Festivals.  In  1891-92  he  was 
secretary  of  the  M.  T.  N.  A.  and  in  1893 
president ;  was  a  founder  of  the  College  of 
Musicians,  of  the  A,  G.  O.  and  of  the  Manu- 


script Society ;  in]1899  was  appointed  American 
representative  of  the  I.  M.  G.  and  in  1906-12 
president  of  its  American  Section,  and  is  an 
active  member  of  the  Musical  Association  of 
Great  Britain.  In  1889  the  University  of 
Michigan  made  him  A.  M.  and  in  1916  North- 
western University  made  him  Mus.D.  Be- 
sides his  energetic  development  of  the  Uni- 
versity School  of  Music,  he  has  had  charge  of 
the  Stearns  Collection  of  Musical  Instruments, 
given  to  the  University  in  1898,  and  of  this  he 
has  published  an  exhaustive  and  scholarly 
Catalogue,  1918  (2nd  edition  in  preparation). 
His  compositions  include  a  Symphony  in  F, 
an  orchestral  Scherzo  in  D,  the  symphonic 
poem  'Attis,'  a  Suite  in  E  for  violin  and  piano, 
a  Canon  and  Fugue  in  E  minor  for  piano, 
the  choral  and  orchestral  works  'City  of 
Freedom,'  'A  Psalm  of  Victory,'  'Chorus 
Triumphalis,'  'Laus  Deo'  and  'Consecration 
Hymn,'  and  incidental  music  to  Mackaye's 
'Sapho  and  Phaon,'  to  Euripides' '  Alcestis'  and 
'  Mensechmi'  —  the  last  three  employing  Greek 
motives  and  modes,  and  all  with  special 
accompaniment  simulating  ancient  instru- 
mentation. All  these  have  been  given  on 
various  civic  or  academic]occasions.  They  are 
now  published  as  Greek  Themes  in  Modern

STATE  MUSIC  TEACHERS'  ASSO- 
CIATIONS began  to  be  formed  in  1876,  many 
of  them  (after  1886)  through  the  efforts  of 
the  Music  Teachers'  National  Association. 
Some  of  them  have  been  short-lived,  but  the 
majority  continue  and  are  extremely  serviceable 
in  bringing  teachers  into  fellowship,  in  up- 
holding professional  standards  and  in  advanc- 
ing interest  in  American  music  and  musicians. 
At  times  the  National  and  the  State  organi- 
zations have  been  knit  together  in  some  formal 
way,  but  practical  considerations  prevent 
close  official  union.  In  recent  years  the 
State  Associations  have  given  increasing  at- 
tention to  problems  of  'standardization'  or 
the  fixing  of  rules  and  tests  for  professional 
recognition.  In  several  cases  systems  of 
examination  and  certification  have  been  set 
up.  The  heads  of  all  Teachers'  Associations 
are  banded  together  in  an  Association  of 
Presidents  and  Past-Presidents. 

In    1893   H.   8.   Perkins   stated   that   the

STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOLS,  MUSIC  IN. 
In  every  State  but  one  there  are  Normal 
Schools  to  train  teachers  for  public-school 
work.  The  number  in  each  State  depends 
upon  various  considerations  besides  its  size.3 
The  total  number  in  the  whole  country  is 
about  180.  In  all  these,  with  but  trifling 
exceptions,  some  musical  instruction  is  pro- 
vided, but  the  amount  and  scope  of  it  varies 
greatly.  Many  Schools  are  large  (600-1000 
students),  while  others  are  too  small  to  have 
diversified  curricula.  On  the  whole,  there 
is  a  difference  between  the  East  and  the  West. 
In  New  England,  New  York  and  the  Southern 
States  the  number  of  music-instructors  is 
rarely  more  than  two  or  three,  but  in  Indiana, 
Pa.,  there  are  9,  in  Milwaukee  10,  in 
Emporia,  Kan.,  13,  in  Mansfield,  Pa.,  Valley 
City,  N.  D.,  and  Greeley,  Colo.,  7,  etc.  Simi- 
larly, in  the  East  and  South  the  instruction 
is  planned  chiefly  with  reference  to  the  training 
of  the  ordinary  grade-teacher  who  teaches 
many  other  subjects  than  music,  while  in  the 
West  generally  it  provides  also  for  the  much 
more  intensive  training  of  supervisors.  In 
many  cases  the  western  Schools  are  really 
music-schools,  some  of  them  open  to  other 
students  besides  those  preparing  for  public-

s  For  example,  Pennsylvania  has  13,  New  York  10, 
Massachusetts,  Wisconsin  and  Alabama  9  each,  West 
Virginia  and  North  Carolina  8  each,  Virginia  7, 
Maine,  Oklahoma  and  California  6  each,  Illinois 
and  Missouri  5  each,  etc. 


school  teaching.  Instruction  in  piano  and 
violin  (sometimes  also  organ)  is  rather  common. 
Harmony  is  sometimes  taught,  and  occasionally 
counterpoint  and  even  orchestration.  The 
number  of  pianos  is  sometimes  notably  large 
—  Indiana,  Pa.,  38,  Kutztown,  Pa.,  23, 
Mansfield,  Pa.,  20,  Valley  City,  N.  D.,  20, 
Emporia,  Kan.,  19,  Milwaukee,  Bowling 
Green,  Ky.,  Aberdeen,  S.  D.,  and  Greeley, 
Colo.,  each  16,  etc.  Phonographs  are  nearly 
universal,  some  institutions  having  as  many 
as  ten.  In  a  fair  proportion  of  cases  there 
is  something  of  a  musical  library. 

Besides  the  State  Normal  Schools  there  are 
other  agencies  for  the  special  education  of 
teachers.  New  York,  Iowa  and  Colorado  have 
State  Teachers'  Colleges,  and  many  State  Uni- 
versities and  other  such  complex  institutions 
have  Schools  or  Colleges  of  Education  that  aim 
at  similar  results.  As  a  rule,  however,  music  is 
not  magnified  in  any  of  these,  though  students 
often  have  access  to  musical  opportunities  in- 
directly. Exceptional  emphasis  upon  music  is 
found  in  Teachers  College  in  Columbia  Univer- 
sity, New  York. 

STATE  UNIVERSITIES,  MUSIC  IN. 
The  growth  of  the  demand  for  'public  schools' 
in  the  early  19th  century  led  naturally  toward 
the  development  of  'state  universities'  as 
the  culminating  element  in  a  system  of  free 
civic  education.  It  is  true  that  many  'col- 
leges' founded  before  1800  rested  upon  grants 
of  public  money  and  had  been  more  or  less 
governed  by  public  authority.  Some  of  them 
bore  names  as  'universities'  of  the  States  in 
which  they  were  located.  But  the  tendency 
of  the  'college'  system  was  to  depend  upon 
private  or  denominational  endowment  and 
to  accent  a  single  course  of  study,  subject  to 
fees  for  tuition.  Beginning  with  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  founded  in  1837,  a  new 
type  rapidly  became  common,  providing  free 
tuition  in  many  different  lines  and  managed 
by  boards  of  trustees  responsible  to  the  States 
as  such.  This  new  type  naturally  became 
characteristic  of  those  sections  of  the  country 
that  were  developed  in  the  period  of  national 
expansion  preceding  the  Civil  War.  Mean- 
while, in  the  older  sections,  some  of  the 
'colleges'  were  much  enlarged  in  scope,  so 
that  several  of  them  fulfilled  for  their  re- 
spective States  much  of  the  function  of  a 
'  state  university.' l 

As  public  interest  in  music  advanced,  and 
the  vocational  opportunities  connected  with 
it  became  important,  it  was  natural  that 
gradually  around  or  within  the  'state  uni- 
versities' music-schools  should  spring  up. 

1  Notable  instances  are  Harvard  (1636)  in  Mas- 
sachusetts, Yale  (1701)  in  Connecticut,  Princeton 
(1746)  in  New  Jersey,  Columbia  (1745)  in  New  York, 
Brown  (1764)  in  Rhode  Island,  Dartmouth  (1769) 
in  New  Hampshire,  Bowdoin  (1794)  in  Maine,  etc. 


STATE  UNIVERSITIES 


STATE  UNIVERSITIES       371 


In  many  cases  these  were  at  first  independent 
enterprises  that  were  ultimately  adopted 
into  the  university.  In  others  they  were 
started  as  departments  like  those  in  medicine, 
law,  engineering,  agriculture  and  the  like. 
Recently  such  schools  have  often  been  com- 
bined with  other  departments  into  Schools 
or  Colleges  of  Fine  Arts.  Although  now 
generally  reckoned  as  full  members  of  the 
circle  of  departments,  such  Schools,  owing 
to  their  use  of  individual  rather  than  class 
methods  in  praxis-topics,  have  stood  by 
themselves  in  requiring  considerable  tuition- 
fees,  and  there  has  been  much  hesitation 
about  granting  credit  for  work  in  praxis. 
Work  in  theory  and  history,  however,  has 
generally  been  credited,  and  often  work  of  an 
ensemble-character,  as  in  choruses  or  orchestras. 

There  are  now  nearly  100  institutions  of 
higher  education  under  State  control.  But 
about  half  of  these  are  special  in  character, 
devoted  to  technology,  industrial  arts,  mining, 
agriculture,  etc.  Some  of  the  Agricultural 
Colleges  have  taken  on  a  general  and  complex 
character,  and  a  few  of  them  have  given  special 
attention  to  music.  These  are  therefore 
included  in  the  present  summary.  But  the 
State  Teachers'  Colleges  are  more  naturally 
grouped  with  the  State  Normal  Schools,  as 
the  State  Women's  Colleges  are  with  Colleges 
for  Women  in  general.  In  order  to  give  some 
hint  of  the  historical  sequence,  the  institutions 
in  the  following  condensed  r6sum6  are  ar- 
ranged more  or  less  chronologically. 

All  the  statements  made  in  the  article  upon 
COLLEGES  as  to  the  general  scope  of  in- 
struction apply  here,  but  with  a  few  slight 
differences  of  emphasis.  There  is  a  somewhat 
greater  prominence  given  to  theoretical  studies 
in  several  institutions,  and  some  give  no  credit 
for  praxis.  In  many  of  the  institutions  the 
aggregation  of  students  is  so  large  that  choral 
and  orchestral  concerts  command  special 
attention,  stimulating  interest  in  organizations 
within  the  institution  and  making  it  possible 
to  support  visiting  organizations.  In  many 
cases  there  is  great  attention  given  to  military 
bands,  notably  at  the  University  of  Illinois. 
In  most  of  the  larger  institutions  the  School 
of  Music  has  separate  buildings,  often  of 
importance,  with  large  auditorium,  organ, 
etc.  Several  of  them  have  significant  music- 
libraries. 

The  Universities  of  Michigan,  Wisconsin, 
Illinois,  Kansas,  and  Oklahoma  stand  out  as 
those  which  have  pushed  music-departments 
into  decided  eminence.  Several  others,  like 
Pennsylvania,  Indiana,  California  and  Colo- 
rado, have  given  prominence  to  thorough 
work  in  theory. 

The  total  number  of  students  in  the  State 
institutions  where  music  is  recognized  is 


considerably  over  100,000  each  year,  counting 
all  departments.  No  doubt  a  fair  proportion 
of  this  large  number  is  affected  in  some  way 
by  the  general  activities  of  the  School  of 
Music,  especially  as  these  extend  to  public 
concerts.  But  in  most  cases  the  number  of 
those  actually  taking  serious  courses  in  music 
is  still  extremely  small.  Two  reasons  for  this 
are,  first,  that  in  the  institutional  system 
music  is  counted  as  belonging  to  the  'col- 
legiate* or  undergraduate  division  (hence 
not  appealing  to  those  in  professional,  tech- 
nological or  graduate  divisions),  and,  second, 
that  there  are  special  fees  required.1  It  is 
likely,  however,  that  gradually  the  practical 
influence  of  music  in  university-life  will 
decidedly  increase.  Thus  far  music  has  been 
emphasized  chiefly  for  its  use  as  an  element 
of  general  culture  or  as  a  vocation.  In  a  few 
cases  steps  have  been  taken  to  disclose  its 
possibilities  as  a  distinct  object  of  scientific, 
historical  and  philosophical  investigation.

STEARNS  COLLECTION  OF  MUSICAL 


INSTRUMENTS,  THE,  at  the  University 
of  Michigan,  Ann  Arbor,  was  gathered  by 
Frederick  Stearns  (1831-1907),  a  chemist  of 
Detroit  and  the  founder  and  for  many  years 
head  of  an  extensive  pharmaceutical  busi- 
ness there.  The  making  of  this  collection 
was  a  special  enthusiasm  with  him  from  1881 
to  1897,  though  it  was  not  the  only  line  of 
research  to  which  he  devoted  effort  and 
generous  expenditure.  As  with  his  other 
collections,  Mr.  Stearns  sought  to  make  this 
permanently  useful  by  giving  it  to  a  public 
institution.  In  1898  it  was  offered  to  the 
University  and  at  once  accepted.  The  donor 
continued  to  add  to  it  and  provided  funds 
for  its  study  and  proper  presentation. 

The  Collection  contains  over  1400  speci- 
mens, so  selected  as  to  give  a  fairly  com- 
prehensive view  of  the  whole  subject  of 
instrument-making,  both  in  its  intricate 
ethnological  variety  and  in  its  historical  evo- 
lution as  regards  the"  implements  of  civilized 
music.  It  has  been  minutely  sifted,  classified 
and  described  by  Albert  A.  Stanley,  Director 
of  the  University  School  of  Music,  and  in  1918 
he  published  under  the  University  imprint 
a  monumental  Catalogue  of  it,  which  not  only 
brings  its  contents  within  the  easy  ken  of 
intelligent  students,  but  at  the  same  time 
sets  up  a  standard  of  scientific  classification 
and  nomenclature  for  the  subject  in  general. 
This  volume  of  260  pages  has  elaborate 
indexes  and  frequent  critical  and  historical 
notes  of  unusual  interest. 

The  arrangement  adopted  is  analytic  or 
systematic  rather  than  geographic  or  his- 
torical. Five  classes  are  distinguished,  ac- 
cording as  sound-production  arises  (a)  from 
a  solid  body,  like  plates,  bells,  gongs,  bars, 
rods  or  tongues,  (6)  from  a  stretched  mem- 
brane,~as  in  the  various  drums  and  tambour- 
ines, (e)  from  a  confined  air-column,  as  in  the 
flutes,  oboes,  trumpets,  etc.,  (d)  from  a 
stretched  string,  as  in  harps,  dulcimers,  zithers, 
lutes  and  viols,  or  (e)  from  either  strings, 
air-columns  or  reeds  controlled  or  actuated 
from  a  keyboard. 

STEBBINS,  GEORGE  WARING  (June 
16,  1869,  near  Albion,  N.  Y.),  was  the  son  of 
the  singing  evangelist,  George  C.  Stebbins. 
He  studied  in  Brooklyn  with  H.  E.  Browne 
and  Woodman  (organ),  F.  F.  Powers  (voice) 
and  Shelley  (composition),  with  further  work 
in  Paris  under  Sbriglia  and  Guilmant,  and  in 
London  under  Henschel.  Since  1893  he  has 
been  organist  in  Brooklyn  —  at  the  Emmanuel 
Baptist  Church  in  1894-99  and  since  1902, 
and  at  Plymouth  Church  in  1899-1902.  He 
was  a  founder  of  the  A.  G.  O.  and  has  appeared 
often  as  recitalist.  Since  1910  he  has  also 
taught  singing  at  the  New  York  Teachers' 
Training  Institute,  and  from  1913  has  con-

STECK,  GEORGE,  &  CO.,  New  York, 
is  a  piano-making  business  established  in  1857 
by  George  Steck.  They  secured  high  awards 
at  the  Vienna  and  Philadelphia  Expositions 
of  1873  and  1876.  The  business  is  now  a 
branch  of  the  JEolian  Company.  Besides  the 
New  York  factory  there  is  another  at  Gotha, 
Germany. 

STEERE,  J.  W.,  &  SON  ORGAN  CO., 
THE,  Springfield,  Mass.,  was  established  in 
1867,  originally  as  Steere  &  Turner.  In 
recent  years,  especially  since  Henry  F.  Van 
Wart  came  in  1911  as  superintendent,  they 
have  produced  many  instruments  of  large 
size  and  notable  excellence,  among  them  those 
in  Woolsey  Hall  at  Yale  University,  in  the 
Municipal  Auditorium  in  Springfield,  in  the 
Piedmont  Church  in  Worcester,  and  in 
the  First  Church,  Scientist,  in  Kansas  City.

STEINERT,  MORRIS  (Mar.  9,  1831, 
Scheinfeld,  Germany  :  Jan.  21,  1912,  New 
Haven,  Conn.),  as  a  boy,  while  apprenticed 
to  an  optician,  had  lessons  on  the  harpsichord 
from  the  village  cantor  and  on  the  guitar  from 
a  chimney-sweep.  Soon  he  began  composing 
for  orchestra,  incidentally  learning  to  play 
the  'cello.  As  vender  of  optical  goods  he 
traveled  in  Switzerland,  Germany  and  Russia, 
and  as  dealer  in  hops  visited  France.  About 
1854  he  came  to  America.  In  New  York  he 
joined  Maretzek's  opera-orchestra  as  'cellist 
(Thomas  being  then  one  of  the  first  violins), 
then  traveled  with  a  minstrel-troupe,  and  for 
a  time  worked  in  Savannah  as  clerk  in  a 
music-store  and  organist.  The  outbreak  of 
the  Civil  War  in  1861  led  him  to  return  to  the 
North,  where  he  finally  settled  in  New  Haven, 
at  first  on  a  salary  of  $100  per  year.  He 
taught,  organized  an  orchestra,  opened  a 
music-store,  and  built  up  a  prosperous  business 
as  dealer  in  pianos.  He  invented  a  form 
known  as  the  'Steinertone,'  and  more  and  more 
became  interested  in  collecting  rare  and  historic 
instruments.  His  collection  of  about  500 
pieces  he  presented  to  Yale  University  in  1900, 
and  endowed  a  prize  in  the  School  of  Music 
in  1906,  besides  three  scholarships.  He 
was  one  of  the  founders  in  1892  of  the  New 


Haven  Symphony  Orchestra.  In  1892  his 
collection  was  exhibited  at  the  Vienna  Ex- 
position and  in  1893  at  the  Columbian  Ex- 
position in  Chicago.  A  handbook  of  it  was 
published  as  The  M.  Steinert  Collection  of 
Keyed  and  Stringed  Instruments,  1893.  His 
name  is  also  perpetuated  in  the  piano-making 
firm  M.  Steinert's  Sons  &  Co.,  of  Boston.

in  1871-73  she  was  for  a  time  soloist  in  Henry 
Ward  Beecher's  church  in  Brooklyn.  Some 
songs  written  for  and  first  sung  by  her  became 
very  popular,  among  them  Sullivan's  'Lost 
Chord'  (first  sung  at  a  Boosey  Ballad  concert, 
London,  Jan.  31,  1877),  Cowen's  'The  Better 
Land,'  Molloy's  'Darby  and  Joan'  and  Barn-

STERLING,  WINTHROP  SMITH  (Nov. 
28,  1859,  Cincinnati),  graduated  from  the 
Cincinnati  College  of  Music  as  gold  medalist 
in  1883,  and  spent  the  next  four  years  at  the 
Leipzig  Conservatory  under  Reinecke,  Jadas- 
sohn  and  Zwintscher.  He  also  studied  there 
with  R.  Hoffman  (composition)  and  Frau 
Unger-Haupt  (voice),  and  in  London  with 
Turpin  (organ),  Shakespeare  and  Behnke 
(voice).  In  1887-1903  he  taught  singing  and 
composition  at  the  Cincinnati  College  of 
Music,  and  was  head  of  the  organ-department. 
In  1903  he  founded  the  Metropolitan  CoUege 
of  Music,  of  which  he  is  now  dean.  He  has 
been  organist  in  London  and  Cincinnati,  gave 
organ-recitals  at  the  Chicago,  Buffalo  and 
St.  Louis  World's  Fairs  and  elsewhere,  and  has 
lectured  on  problems  of  singing  and  musical 
education.  He  has  written  a  suite  and  an 
overture  for  orchestra,  church-music,  organ- 
and  piano-pieces  and  songs.  [  R.7  ]

and  Richter  at  the  Leipzig  Conservatory. 
Later  he  studied  with  Kullak  in  Berlin,  and 
made  his  debut  as  pianist  there  in  1875,  with 
encouragement  from  Rubinstein.  He  also 
served  as  chorus-master  at  the  Stadt-Theater 
and  as  conductor  at  Bruhl's,  at  Wiirzburg  and 
Kissingen  in  the  summers,  and  at  the  court- 
opera  in  Neu-Strelitz.  In  1875-77  he  was

court-pianist  at  Schwerin  and  head  of  the 
Academy  Music  School.  In  1875  and  '77 
he  had  lessons  from  Liszt.  In  1877-78  he 
toured  with  the  singer  Mme.  Desiree  Artot 
through  Europe,  Russia,  Siberia,  Asia  Minor 
and  Egypt.  In  1880  he  came  to  America  on 
a  concert-tour,  and  for  six  years  after,  at  first 
alone,  then  with  Wilhelmj  and  Minnie  Hauk. 
In  1886  he  became  a  citizen  and  settled  first 
in  Atlanta,  removing  in  1890  to  Philadelphia, 
where  he  established  the  Sternberg  School 
of  Music,  which  he  still  directs.  Most  of  his 
more  than  100  works  are  for  the  piano.  Many 
of  them  have  been  often  played  by  Hofmann, 
Godowsky,  Mme.  Bloomfield-Zeisler  and 
others.  The  'Humoresque,'  op.  26,  the 
five  Concert-Eludes,  the  'Impromptu'  and 
'Caprice  Hyppique'  (Peters),  the  'Nuit 
Arabe,'  'En  Boheme'  and  the  three  '  Preludes,' 
op.  106,  he  regards  as  most  characteristic. 
He  has  also  written  six  piano-trios,  and  many 
choral  works  and  songs.  Besides  frequent 
articles  in  magazines,  he  has  published  The 
Ethics  and  Esthetics  of  Piano-Playing,  1917.

STEVENSON,  FREDERICK  (Sept.  16, 
1845,  Newark,  England),  graduated  at  St. 
John's  College  in  Sussex  in  1866.  In  1867-74 
he  was  organist  in  Forest  Hill  and  in  1874-82 
in  Blackheath,  pursuing  composition  with 
Macfarren  and  J.  F.  Bridge  and  composing 
many  works,  including  'Cyrus,'  besides  con- 
ducting choral  societies  and  teaching  at  the 
Blackheath  Conservatory.  In  1883  he  became 
precentor  at  St.  John's  Cathedral  in  Denver, 
where,  with  Walter  E.  Hall,  he  developed 
choir-services  of  special  excellence.  Later 
he  was  at  St.  Mark's  and  the  Synagogue, 
directed  the  Denver  Conservatory  and  led 
the  Concert  Choir.  From  1894  he  was  in  Los 
Angeles  as  organist,  conductor  and  composer. 
In  1905-18  he  was  specially  engaged  there  and 
in  Santa  Barbara  in  developing  his  conception 
of  modern  harmony,  and  since  1918  has 
resumed  teaching  at  Los  Angeles.  He  has 
composed  a  large  number  of  sacred  solos  with 
organ  accompaniment  (or  other  instruments), 
various  anthems  and  part-songs,  and  the 
choral  works  'Easter  Eve  and  Morn,'  'Om- 
nipotence,' 'Christmas  Bells,'  'The  Angel 
Gabriel,'  etc.  (Ditson,  Church).  He  has  also 
written  somewhat  for  orchestra  and  chamber- 
instruments.  [  R.7  ] 

STEWART,  HUMPHREY  JOHN  (May 
22,  1856,  London,  England),  began  at  eleven 
as  chorister  and  organist.  He  played  in 
various  London  churches  until  1886,  when  he 
came  to  San  Francisco  as  organist  of  the 


Church  of  the  Advent,  going  later  to  Trinity 
Church  and  the  First  Unitarian  Church.  In 
1901,  after  giving  recitals  at  the  Buffalo 
Exposition,  he  went  to  Trinity  Church  in 
Boston,  but  after  two  years  returned  to  San 
Francisco,  this  time  at  St.  Dominic's.  In 
1915  he  became  official  organist  of  the  Ex- 
position at  San  Diego,  and  still  continues 
playing  daily  on  the  open-air  organ  at  Balboa 
Park.  It  is  interesting  that  the  annual  series 
of  250  to  300  recitals  on  this  instrument,  the 
first  outdoor  organ  in  the  world,  have  been 
interrupted  less  than  thirty  times  in  five  years 
by  unfavorable  weather.  In  1919  the  programs 
included  2270  selections  from  385  composers. 
These  recitals  have  established  his  reputation 
as  a  player  of  great  ability  and  wide  sympathy. 
As  conductor  he  has  been  identified  with  vari- 
ous choral  and  orchestral  organizations,  notably 
the  Handel  and  Haydn  Choral  Society  of 
San  Francisco.  His  oratorio  'The  Nativity' 
(1888,  Church)  has  had  performances  through- 
out the  country.  A  romantic  opera,  'Bluff 
King  Hal'  (1889),  and  two  comic  operas, 
'His  Majesty'  (1890)  and  'The  Conspirators' 
(1900),  have  been  performed,  and  he  has  also 
written  the  music  for  three  of  the  'Grove- 
Plays'  of  San  Francisco  Bohemian  Club, 
'Montezuma'  (1903),  'The  Cremation  of 
Care'  (1906),  and  'Gold'  (1916).  He  has 
composed  the  orchestral  suites  'Montezuma' 
(1903)  and  'Scenes  in  California'  (1906), 
three  masses,  incidental  music  to  several  plays, 
songs,  choruses,  piano-,  organ-  and  violin- 
music.  The  gold  medal  of  the  A.  G.  O.  was 
awarded  in  1899  for  his  anthem  'I  beheld, 
and  lo  !' ;  and  in  1907  he  won  prizes  from  the 
Chicago  Madrigal  Club  and  the  Pittsburgh 
Male  Chorus  for  other  choral  works.  He  is 
a  founder  of  the  A.  G.  O.,  an  honorary  life- 
member  of  the  Bohemian  Club,  and  has  been 
or  is  president  of  several  musical  organizations. 
In  1898  the  University  of  the  Pacific  made  him 
Mus.D.  [  R.7  ]

Baltimore  by  Charles  M.  Stieff  in  1842  and 
steadily  developed  by  his  son,  Frederick  P. 
Stieff  and  two  grandsons.  Since  before  1890 
Herman  Keuchen  has  been  their  chief  designer,

bonne  in  Paris.  She  began  music  at  the 
Jacksonville  Conservatory,  studied  piano 
with  Frau,  Gliemann  in  Dresden  and  Xaver 
Scharwenka  in  Berlin,  singing  with  Sbriglia 
in  Paris  (1910-13),  and  counterpoint  and 
composition  with  Klein  in  New  York.  Being 
much  attracted  by  the  music  of  the  Indians, 
she  has  lived  among  them,  becoming  a  member 
of  one  of  the  O  jib  way  tribes,  with  the  name 
4  O  -  mes  -  qua  -  wi  -  gi  -  shi  -  go  -  que '  ('  Red  -  Sky- 
Lady').  In  her  compositions  Indian  melodies 
appear  without  change,  especially  in  the 
choruses  of  her  plays.  She  has  lectured  on 
Indian  music  and  legends  in  America  and 
abroad.  'Sieur  du  Lhut,'  a  play  in  four  acts, 
and  'The  Marvels  of  Manabush,'  an  Indian 
pantomime  in  three  acts,  make  liberal  use  of 
Indian  themes.  Earlier  and  more  conventional 
works  are  the  operettas  4Beulah,  Queen  of 
Hearts,'  4 Ganymede*  and  4Raoul,'  besides 
pieces  for  piano.  She  is  an  active  member  of 


the  New  York  and  Chicago  Manuscript

in  manuscript  works  for  orchestra,  piano  and 
voice,  and  further  chamber-music.  His  writ- 
ing has  been  thus  highly  praised  by  Busoni : 
4  In  the  hands  of  an  intelligent  virtuoso,  a 
sympathetic  interpreter,  the  seven  'Im-

hall School  of  Music  and  from  1907  at  the 
Trinity  School  of  Music.  His  The  Art  of 
Violin-Bowing,  1902,  went  to  many  editions 
in  both  English  and  German  and  made  him 
known  as  an  authority.  He  then  added 
The  Story  of  the  Violin,  1905,  an  ingenious 
blending  of  history  and  romance  that  has 
become  a  classic,  and,  more  recently,  Elements

STOJOWSKI,  SIGISMOND  DENIS  AN- 
TOINE  (Apr.  8,  1870,  Strzelce,  Poland),  the 
son  of  a  Polish  noble,  had  his  early  education 
in  the  Cracow  Lyceum  and :  under  Zelenski 
at  the  Conservatory,  graduating  in  1887. 
As  a  child  he  played  in  the  salon  of  Princess 
Czatoryska,  once  a  pupil  of  Chopin,  and  in 
1883  appeared  with  orchestra,  playing  Beet- 
hoven's C  minor  concerto  with  an  original 
cadenza.  In  1887-89  he  studied  at  the 
Sorbonne  in  Paris  and  at  the  Conservatory 
under  Diemer,  Dubois  and  Delibes,  graduating 
in  1889  with  honors  in  piano  and  counterpoint, 
and  then  continuing  under  the  guidance  of 
Gorski  and  Paderewski.  In  1891  he  gave 
a  concert  in  the  Salle  Erard  with  the  Colonne 
Orchestra  with  an  original  program,  in- 
cluding his  piano-concerto  in  F-sharp  minor 
and  an  orchestral  Ballade.  An  orchestral 
suite  from  this  period  which  attracted  Tchai- 
kovsky's interest  was  later  given  by  Von 
Biilow  in  Hamburg  and  by  Hall6  in  Man- 
chester. After  some  years  of  life  in  Paris, 
with  many  concert- tours,  in  1905-11  he  was 
head  of  the  piano-department  of  the  In- 
stitute of  Musical  Art  in  New  York  and  in 
1911-17  at  the  Von  Ende  School,  often  return- 
ing to  Europe  for  concerts  —  notably  in  1913, 
when  he  gave  his  2nd  Concerto  in  London 
with  Nikisch.  He  has  played  often  with 
leading  orchestras  in  America,  and  in  1912 
gave  a  notable  series  of  historical  concerts 
in  New  York.  During  the  war  and  since  he 
has  been  specially  active  on  behalf  of  Poland. 
As  a  teacher  he  is  the  authorized  exponent 
of  Paderewski's  methods,  and  counts  among 
his  pupils  players  like  Novaes,  Levitzky, 
Arthur  Loesser  and  Elenore  Altman.  In 
1918  he  married  his  former  pupil,  Luisa 
Morales-Machedo  of  Lima.  His  compositions

STOUGHTON  MUSICAL  SOCIETY, 
THE,  of  Stoughton,  Mass.,  was  organized  in 
1786  as  a  men's  chorus.  It  grew  out  of  a 
singing-school  conducted  by  Billings.  Though 
not  the  first  musical  organization  in  the  United 
States,  it  occupies  a  unique  place  because  of 
its  unbroken  history  to  the  present  as  an 
active  choral  society.  It  is  now  a  large  mixed 
chorus.  It  issued  the  Stoughton  Collection, 
1828,  and  another  compilation  under  similar 
name  in  1878,  the  latter  valuable  because 
preserving  old  pieces  of  'psalmody.'

and  concert.  In  1909-10  he  led  the  Bliithner 
Orchestra  in  Berlin  and  was  chief  conductor 
of  the  Wagner  Concerts  at  the  New  Opera. 
In  1910-11  he  was  in  charge  of  symphony-

SYMPHONY  HALL,  in  Boston,  was  built 
in  1899,  especially  to  provide  a  headquarters 
for  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra.  One 
of  its  leading  founders  was  Maj.  Henry  L. 
Higginson,  the  patron  of  the  orchestra.  See

SYMPHONY  SOCIETY  OF  NEW  YORK, 
THE.  See  article  in  Vol.  iv.  805.  In  1914 
Henry  H.  Flagler  assumed  responsibility  for 
the  financial  support  of  the  orchestra.  In 
1920  Mr.  Damrosch  took  the  orchestra  to 
Europe  for  a  tour  of  several  weeks  in  France, 
Italy,  the  Low  Countries  and  England. 
Among  the  novelties  introduced  have  been 
Elgar's  2nd  Symphony  (1911),  Sibelius'  4th 
Symphony,  Fanelli's  'Tableaux  Symphoniques' 
and  Elgar's  'Falstaff'  (1913),  Kolar's  Sym- 
phonic Suite  and  Ravel's  'Daphnis  et  Chloe' 
(1914),  Delius'  'Summer  Night  on  the  River' 
and  'On  Hearing  the  First  Cuckoo,'  and 
Damrosch's  music  for  'Iphigenia  in  Aulis,' 
'Medea'  and  'Electra'  (1915,  the  last  three 
repeated  in  1918),  and  Griff es'  'Poem'  for 
flute  and  orchestra  (1919).  In  several  seasons 
about  1910  series  of  Beethoven  concerts  were 
a  feature.  In  1908  a  new-found  Trio  of  his  for 
harpsichord,  flute  and  bassoon  was  brought  out. 

SZUMOWSKA,  ANTOINETTE  (Feb.  22, 
1868,  Lublin,  Poland),  had  her  general  edu- 
cation in  Warsaw  and  studied  piano  with 
Strobl  and  Michalowski  there.  In  1890-95 
she  was  with  Paderewski  in  Paris.  In  1891 
she  appeared  at  the  Salle  Erard,  in  1892  many 
times  in  England,  and  in  1893  toured  again 
there  and  in  Russia  and  Poland.  In  1895 
she  came  to  America,  playing  with  the  Boston 
Symphony,  New  York  Symphony  and  Thomas 
Orchestras.  In  1896  she  married  the  'cellist 
Joseph  Adamowski,  and,  with  him  and  his 
brother,  formed  the  Adamowski  Trio.  During 
the  war  she  devoted  herself  largely  to  work 
as  president  of  the  Friends  of  Poland.  [  R.8  ]

great  man's  grave.  From  about  1765  for  some 
years  he  was  organist  at  Chelmsford,  not  far 
from  London.  His  success  as  a  ballad-writer 
and  his  natural  bent  for  the  stage  then  led  to 
his  becoming  music-director  for  one  of  the 
London  theaters.  Somewhere  before  1785 
he  was  the  teacherjof  Reinagle,  who  was  eleven 
years  younger.  In  1792  he  came  to  Baltimore, 
gave  some  concerts  there  and  at  Annapolis, 
where  for  a  time  he  was  organist  at  St.  Anne's, 
but  in  1793  betook  himself  to  Philadelphia. 
Here  for  thirty  years  he  was  the  Nestor  of  the 
fine  circle  to  which  Reinagle,  Carr  and  Schetky 
belonged.  For  most  of  this  period  he  was 
organist  at  St.  Peter's.  In  1820  he  was  one 
of  the  founders  of  the  Musical  Fund  Society 
and  honored  in  its  councils.  As  a  player 
he  was  famous  for  improvisation.  He  was 
also  a  clever  stage-singer,  with  a  gift  for  the 
comic  and  burlesque.  He  composed  both 
vocal  and  instrumental  works,  but  nothing 
remains  except  some  unimportant  songs. 
In  1796  he  gave  a  program,  half  of  which  was 
made  up  of  his  own  compositions.  In  1799 
he  and  Reinagle  prepared  a  'Monody'  over 
the  death  of  Washington  which  made  a  deep 
impression.  The  titles  of  several  plays  by 
him  or  for  which  he  wrote  accompaniments 
are  given  by  Sonneck  (Concert-Life,  pp.  42, 
47,140,  144-5,  and  in  'Early  American  Op- 
eras,' I.  M.  G.  Sammelbde.  6.  458,  486,  488).

paratus, which  he  patented  in  many  countries 
in  1885.  His  ideas  as  to  the  importance  of 
training  the  extensor  muscles  as  well  as  the 
flexors  were  sound,  and  the  apparatus  was 
well  designed.  For  a  time  it  was  manufac-

America.  Though  announced  at  the  Metro- 
politan Opera  House  for  1905-06  and  at  the 
Manhattan  for  1906-07,  she  failed  to  appear 
in  either  case.  But  after  her  London  debut 
in  1907  she  came  to  New  York,  appearing  at 
the  Manhattan  as  Violetta  in  'La  Traviata'  on 
Jan.  15,  1908,  continuing  there  till  its  closing 
in  1910.  She  then  made  concert-tours,  sang 
at  times  with  the  Chicago  and  Boston  Opera 
Companies  and  revisited  England.  In  1913- 
14  she  was  with  the  Chicago  Opera  Company,

Opera  Company,  making  her  American  debut 
as  Cherubino  in  '  Le  Nozze  di  Figaro '  on  Nov. 
4,  1911,  in  Philadelphia.  Her  first  appear-

THAYER,  WHITNEY  EUGENE  (Dec. 
11,  1838,  Mendon,  Mass.  :  June  27,  1889, 
Burlington,  Vt.),  although  beginning  music- 
study  rather  early,  did  not  pursue  it  seriously 
till  he  came  under  John  K.  Paine's  influence 
and  with  him  was  chosen  to  play  at  the  opening 
of  the  organ  in  Boston  Music  Hall  on  Nov.  2, 
1863.  Two  years  later  he  went  to  Berlin, 
taking  organ  and  counterpoint  with  Haupt 
and  composition  with  Wieprecht.  On  his 
return  to  Boston  he  was  organist  successively 
at  the  Arlington  Street,  Hollis  Street,  Old 
First  Unitarian  and  New  England  Churches, 
and  at  Harvard  Church  in  Brookline.  In 
1881-86  he  was  organist  at  the  Fifth  Avenue 
Presbyterian  Church,  in  New  York.  After 
a  year  at  Holy  Trinity  in  Harlem,  he  gave  up 
church-playing  and  devoted  himself  to  teach- 
ing and  composition.  He  gave  many  organ- 
recitals  in  America  and  abroad,  beginning  a 
long  series  in  Boston  in  1868.  An  enthusiast 
for  the  improvement  of  church-music,  he  gave 
many  lectures,  edited  'The  Organist's  Journal 
and  Review'  and  'The  Choir  Journal  and 
Review,'  and  conducted  the  Boston  Choral 
Union  and  the  New  England  Church-Music 
Association.  Among  his  pupils  were  Edward 
Fisher,  Chadwick,  J.  W.  Andrews,  Sumner 
Salter,  Gerrit  Smith  and  W.  C.  Gale.  He 
received  the  degree  of  Mus.D.  from  Oxford 
University.  Among  his  compositions  are  a 
Festival  Cantata  for  soli,  eight-part  chorus 
and  orchestra,  a  Mass  in  E-flat,  a  fugue  for 
organ,  five  organ-sonatas,  organ-variations 
(two  performers)  "on  the  Russian  National 
Hymn ;  many  detached  organ-pieces ;  songs 
and  part-songs ;  and  a  School  of  Organ-Playing, 
5  parts.  His  private  organ-studio  in  Boston, 
opened  in  1875,  was  one  of  the  first  of  its  kind 
in  the  country.  [  R.5  ]

TOMLINS,  WILLIAM  LAWRENCE  (Feb.

a  pupil  of  Macfarren  and  Silas.  He  became 
one  of  the  managers  of  the  London  Tonic 
Sol-fa  College  in  1864.  In  1870  he  came  to 
America,  in  1875  located  in  Chicago  and 
became  director  of  the  Apollo  Club,  then  a 
men's  chorus  of  sixty  voices.  He  was  in- 
strumental in  the  change  of  the  Club  into  a 
mixed  chorus  of  ultimately  400  voices,  and 
under  his  direction  many  excellent  per- 
formances were  given.  His  connection  with 
the  Club  ceased  in  1898.  In  1883  he  began 
organizing  classes  of  school-children  for  chorus 
singing,  and  made  a  specialty  of  this  work 
and  of  training  teachers  of  school-music. 
In  1903  he  established  at  Chicago  the  National 
Training  School  for  School  Music  Teachers, 
and  was  engaged  by  the  Chicago  Board  of 
Education  as  musical  instructor  for  teachers 
in  the  grade  schools.  He  returned  to  London 
in  1910.  He  is  author  of  Children's  Songs

TORONTO  CONSERVATORY  OF  MU- 
SIC, THE,  was  founded  by  Edward  Fisher 
in  1886  and  opened  in  1887,  being  the 
first  of  its  class  in  Canada.  Dr.  Fisher  re- 
mained its  efficient  head  until  his  death  in 
1913,  and  was  then  succeeded  by  Augustus 
S.  Vogt.  The  institution  was  successful  from 
the  start,  and  has  gone  on  expanding  till  it 
now  is  the  largest  music-school  in  the  British 
Empire.  Including  its  preparatory  depart- 
ment, its  faculty  numbers  150  members. 
Since  1916  its  enrollment  has  run  considerably 
over  3000,  not  counting  a  still  larger  number 
who  take  examinations  under  its  auspices 
elsewhere  in  Canada.  In  1897  it  bought  a 
large  tract  of  land  near  Queen's  Park,  where 
a  series  of  buildings  have  been  erected,  in- 
cluding a  recital-hall  and  a  dormitory  for 
women.  From  1896  till  1918  it  was  so  related 
to  the  University  of  Toronto  that  the  degrees 
of  Mus.  B.  and  Mus.  D.  were  accessible  under 
the  latter's  strict  system.  The  departments 
of  instruction  comprise  the  voice  and  all 
standard  instruments,  elocution,  artistic  danc- 
ing, kindergarten  methods,  tuning,  and  four 
foreign  languages.  The  work  in  piano,  organ 
and  theory  has  always  been  notably  strong. 
Special  attention  is  given  to  the  teaching  of 
young  children,  and  to  training  teachers  for 
them.  But  facilities  are  ample  for  attaining 
advanced  musicianship  and  virtuoso  expe- 
rience. Various  forms  of  certificate  and 
diploma,  in  both  teachers'  and  artists'  courses, 
with  many  scholarships  and  prizes,  are  pro- 
vided. The  equipment  includes  110  pianos, 
3  organs  (that  in  the  hall  having  three  manuals 
and  41  stops),  some  orchestral  instruments 
and  a  library  of  650  volumes.  The  student 
orchestra  numbers  50.  The  Conservatory 
maintains  twelve  branches  in  Toronto.  Since 
1898  it  has  also  provided  standardized  local 
examinations  in  several  subjects  at  an  in- 
creasing number  of  other  places  outside.  This 
system  has  lately  been  extended  so  as  to  apply 
to  students  in  schools  and  colleges  who  cannot 
work  so  intensively  as  others.  In  1919  over 
100  centers  for  such  examinations  were  listed, 
besides  25  schools,  mostly  in  Ontario,  but  as 
far  as  Quebec  on  the  east  and  Vancouver  on 
the  west.  Nearly  4000  pupils  apply  for  these 
examinations  annually.

TORRINGTON,  FREDERICK  HER-

pupil  of  James  Fitzgerald  at  Kidderminster, 
studying  piano,  organ  and  theory.  His  first 
appointment  as  organist  was  at  St.  Anne's 
in  Bewdley.  In  1856  he  came  to  Canada, 
and  in  1857-69  was  organist  of  St.  James 
Street  (M.  E.)  Church  in  Montreal,  where  he

built  up  a  reputation  as  organ-recitalist, 
violinist  and  conductor.  At  the  Boston 
Peace  Jubilee  in  1869  he  was  leader  of  the 
Canadian  Orchestra.  For  four  years  he 
remained  in  Boston  as  organist  at  King's 
Chapel,  teacher  in  the  New  England  Con- 
servatory, violinist  and  conductor  of  choral 
societies.  In  1873  he  went  to  Toronto  as 
organist  at  the  Metropolitan  Methodist 
Church  (a  position  he  held  for  34  years)  and 
conductor  of  the  Toronto  Philharmonic 
Society.  In  1886  he  arranged  the  first  local 
festival,  presenting  'Israel  in  Egypt,'  'Mors 
et  Vita'  and  other  large  works.  In  1888  he 
founded  the  Toronto  College  of  Music,  now 
affiliated  with  the  University  of  Toronto. 
As  principal  of  this  school,  and  in  many  other 
ways,  he  aided  in  the  introduction  and 
popularization  of  good  music  in  Canada.  In 
1892  he  became  president  of  the  Canadian 
Society  of  Musicians.  In  1903  he  was  as- 
sociated with  A.  C.  Mackenzie  as  conductor 
of  a  notable  festival.  The  University  of 
Toronto  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary 
degree  of  Mus.D.  His  compositions  included 
organ-pieces,  services,  songs  and  choruses.

TOSCANINI,  ARTURO  (Mar.  25,  1867. 
Parma,  Italy),  was  educated  in  the  Musical 
Academy  of  Parma  (now  Conservatory), 
studying  'cello  with  Carini  and  theory  with 
Ferrari  and  Dacci.  Obtaining  the  first  prize 
for  'cello  at  graduation,  he  played  in  orchestras, 
and  in  1886  finally  drifted  to  Rio  de  Janeiro. 
The  incompetence  of  a  conductor  led  to  his 
unexpected  debut  in  this  capacity  on  the 
second  night  of  his  engagement.  On  his 
return  to  Italy  he  again  played  in  orchestras, 
but  was  soon  engaged  as  conductor  at  the 
Teatro  Regio  in  Turin.  He  then  conducted 
successively  at  Treviso,  Bologna,  Genoa 
and  La  Scala  in  Milan  in  1898.  In  1898  he 
came  to  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House  in 
New  York,  as  chief  conductor.  Resigning  in 
April,  1915,  he  returned  to  Italy,  and  during 
the  war  lent  his  energies  to  the  musical  en- 
couragement of  patriotism  and  the  relief  of 
distressed  musicians.  In  1916-18  he  gave 
series  of  operatic  and  open-air  performances 
at  the  Dal  Verne  Theater,  the  Arena  and  the 
Verdi  Conservatory  in  Milan,  which  yielded 
large  sums  for  worthy  causes.  For  his  leader- 
ship of  an  army-band  at  Monte  Santo  he  was 
awarded  a  silver  medal.  In  the  summer  of 
1919  he  conducted  festival  performances, 
including  several  of  Beethoven's  9th  Sym- 
phony, at  Turin  and  Milan.  During  his 
years  at  the  Metropolitan  he  conducted 
Italian,  German,  French  and  Russian  operas, 
all  with  impressive  success.  He  introduced 
in  America  Puccini's  'Le  Villi'  (1908),  Cata- 
lani's  'La  Wally'  (1909),  Franchetti's  'Ger- 


mamV  (1910),  Gluck's  'Armide*  (1910), 
Dukas'  'Ariane  et  Barbe-bleu'  (1911),  Wolf- 
Ferrari's  '  Le 'Donne  Curiose'  (1912),  Mussorg- 
sky's 'Boris  Godunov'  (1913),  Wolf-Ferrari's 
'L'Amore  Medico'  (1914)  and  Montemezzi's 
'L'Amore  dei  Tre  Re'  (1914).  He  also 
conducted  there  the  premieres  of  Puccini's 
'La  Fanciulla  del  West'  (Dec.  10,  1910)  and 
Giordano's  'Madame  Sans-Gene'  (Jan.  25, 
1915).  He  conducted  nothing  but  opera  in 
New  York  with  the  exception  of  two  notable 
concerts  in  April,  1913,  when  he  twice  gave 
Wagner's  'Faust'  Overture,  Strauss'  'Till 
Eulenspiegel'  and  the  9th  Symphony.  In 
Italy  he  has  been  equally  prominent  as  sym- 
phonic and  operatic  conductor.  His  near- 
sightedness  has  led  to  reliance  upon  a  mar- 
velous musical  memory,  and  he  conducts 
the  most  complicated  scores  without  book.

editors  of  the  Methodist  Hymnal  of  1878.  For 
a  time  he  was  managing-editor  of  '  The  Musical 
Herald.'  His  degree  of  Mus.D.  was  from

TUCKEY,  WILLIAM  (1708,  Somerset- 
shire, England  :  Sept.  14,  1781,  Philadel- 
phia), apparently  came  to  New  York  before 
1753.  In  March,  1754,  he  announced  himself 
as  a  'singing-master,'  claiming  to  have  been 
a  vicar-choral  at  Bristol  Cathedral  and  parish- 
clerk  there,  and  offering  to  '  amend  the  singing 
in  publick  congregations'  and  to  'set  to 
musick  any  piece  on  any  subject.'  He  taught 
charity-scholars  at  Trinity  Church  and  in  the 
'60s  arranged  special  church-music  with  or- 
chestra. Probably  he  has  the  credit  of  the 
first  performance  in  America  of  the  overture 
and  sixteen  numbers  from  'The  Messiah,' 
which  took  place  on  Jan.  16,  1770  at  Mr. 
Burns'  New  Room.  In  1771  he  solicited 
subscriptions  for  the  publication  of  various 
works.  It  is  not  clear  how  he  was  later 
occupied.  He  was  buried  in  the  grounds  of 
Christ  Church  in  Philadelphia.  See  Sonneck,

TUNE-BOOKS.  Throughout  the  17th  cen- 
tury, and  in  many  places  till  long  after  1800, 
the  words  of  congregational  song  in  the 
churches  of  the  Colonies  were  exclusively 
metrical  versions  of  the  Psalms.  What  we 
now  call  'hymns' — verses  not  aiming  to 
metricize  the  prose  of  the  Scripture,  but 
freely  and  originally  composed  —  were  first 
made  popular  in  England  from  1706  by  Isaac 
Watts  and  still  more  abundantly  from  1740 
by  the  Wesleys.  Watts'  hymns  began  to  be 
reprinted  in  America  about  1740,  though 
doubtless  imported  earlier.  After  1750  hymns 
were  gradually  adopted  by  many  churches, 
though  without  displacing  the  Psalms. 

The  music  required  for  both  Psalms  and 
hymns  was  in  general  form  the  same  — • 
melodies  in  distinct  phrases  adapted  to  the 
rhythm  and  meter  of  the  few  customary 
verse-types.  Until  nearly  the  end  of  tKe  18th 
century  the  only  rhythm  used  in  the  American 
churches  was  iambic,  except  for  a  slight 
infusion  of  anapaests  in  a  few  cases.  Trochaic 
rhythm  seems  to  have  been  unrealized,  as  it 
was  in  England  until  Charles  Wesley  revealed 
its  stirring  possibilities.  The  prevailing  stanza 
was  of  four  lines,  though  sometimes  six  or  eight.1 

1  By  far  the  most  frequent  formula  of  syllables  for 
the  lines  was  8-6-8-6  — the  old  'ballad-meter'  — 
which  hence  came  to  be  called  'Common  Meter.' 


Melodies  thus  formed  were  known  as 
'Psalm-Tunes,'  because  originally  used  for 
the  Psalms.  Out  of  this  came  the  general 
term  'Psalmody'  for  the  total  body  of  tunes, 
for  the  practice  or  custom  of  singing  and  also 
in  time  for  the  books  that  served  as  manuals.1 

Until  after  1750  the  tunes  used  were  entirely 
derived  from  English  sources,  and  most  of 
them  were  of  English  origin.  Yet  it  is  to  be 
noted  that  the  music  brought  to  Plymouth 
and  Salem  was  that  contained  in  Ainsworth's 
Psalter  (1612),  which  was  compiled  in  Am- 
sterdam and  included  much  that  differed  from 
the  less  varied  and  vigorous  forms  later 
brought  to  Boston  and  presumably  to  all 
other  places  outside  of  New  England,  which 
was  derived  from  the  musical  editions  of  Stern- 
hold  and  Hopkins'  Psalter  of  1562  or  later.2 

Though  these  books  provided  a  considerable 
body  of  good  melodies,  the  actual  practice 
of  singing  everywhere  degenerated  or  became 
almost  obsolete  during  the  17th  century, 
owing  to  the  scarcity  of  books  with  music 
and  the  growing  inability  to  use  musical 
notation.  When  the  so-called  'Bay  Psalm 
Book,'  originally  compiled  in  1640,  came 
to  have  tunes  added  in  1690,  their  number  was 
small  and  their  variety  slight. 

About  1720,  perhaps  earlier,  a  few  ministers 
began  to  agitate  for  the  restoration  of  singing 
on  a  systematic  basis.  The  ensuing  con- 
troversy between  'singing  by  rote'  and  'sing- 
ing by  note'  lasted  more  than  a  decade,  but 
was  finally  settled  in  favor  of  the  latter.  This 
led  soon  to  the  setting  up  of  'singing-schools,' 
the  appearance  of  itinerant  'singing- teachers,' 
and  finally  to  a  demand  for  tune-books 
(manuals  of  instruction,  combined  with  a 
selection  of  actual  tunes).3 

The  extensive  movement  thus  inaugurated 
centered  first  in  New  England,  especially 
Massachusetts  and  Connecticut,  but  spread 
to  New  York  and  Pennsylvania,  and  ulti- 
mately to  the  West  and  South.  The  churches 
most  affected  were  those  called  Congregational 
or  Presbyterian,  but  in  most  cases  the  move- 
ment had  a  general  community  influence. 
At  the  time  of  the  Revolution  and  the  rise  of 
national  feeling  it  was  linked  up  with  secular 

Variants  were  8-8-8-8  or  'Long  Meter,'  6-6-8-6  or 
'Short  Meter,'  and,  rarely,  6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4  or  'Hal- 
lelujah Meter.'  In  certain  usages,  too,  10-10-10-10 
or  'Tens'  was  not  infrequent. 

1  This  term  has  persisted  long  after  Psalmody 
proper  was  in  some  degree  displaced  by  Hymnody. 
With  reference  to  the  music  that  accompanied  both 
one  might  wish  that  there  were  warrant  for  some 
fresh  term  like  'Tunody.' 

*  It  is  unfortunate  that  the  musical  richness  of 
Ainsworth  has  not  been  more  generally  recognized. 
It  contained  39  tunes,  many  of  which  have  decided 
value,  as  they  certainly  have  surprising  vivacity. 

1  An  excellent  summary  of  this  period  is  given  in 
Curwen,  Worship-Music,  1st  series,  under  'New 
England  Psalmody."

singing  of  the  patriotic  type.  It  did  not 
confine  itself  to  'tunes,'  but  expanded  to 
'anthems'  and  'odes.'  Though  the  technical 
art  displayed  by  editors  and  presently  com- 
posers was  often  crude  and  faulty,  the  move- 
ment did  much  to  spread  skill  in  singing,  to 
awaken  popular  interest  in  music  and  to  pre- 
pare the  way  for  more  artistic  enterprises. 
In  many  communities  the  old  'Psalmody' 
occupied  somewhat  the  place  of  folk-song. 

Tunes  were  at  first  printed  from  engraved 
plates.  The  first  use  of  music-type  was  in 
1767,  and  soon  became  common,  though  not 
very  satisfactory  till  after  1800. 

The  subjoined  bibliography  indicates  some- 
thing of  the  enormous  extent  of  the  early  tune- 
book  literature.  It  is  largely  condensed  and 
rearranged  from  Metcalf ,  American  Psalmody, 
1917,  which  in  turn  was  an  extension  of  James 
Warrington,  Short  Titles  of  Books . .  of  Psalmody, 
1898,  but  includes  matter  from  other  sources. 
Some  lesser  titles  and  many  details  about  edi- 
tions, etc.,  are  omitted.  The  chronological  se- 
quence is  suggested  by  arranging  the  compilers 
according  to  the  date  when  they  entered  the 
field.i 

The  reform  in  singing  was  set  on  foot  by  two 
books: 

John  Tufts  (1689-1750),  minister  at  Newbury- 
port,  Introduction  to  the  Art  of  Singing,  1721 
(also  '26- '44),  with  a  peculiar  letter-notation, 
M,  F,  S,  L  (for  mi,  fa,  sol,  Id),  on  the  staff  in- 
stead of  notes. 

Thomas  Walter  (1696-1725),  minister  at  Rox- 
bury,  Grounds  and  Rules  of  Music,  1721  (also 
'23-'64). 

Both  of  these  derived  their  tunes  from  Playford.

Besides  his  great  activity  as  author  and  compiler, 
Law  was  noted  for  advocating  setting  the  melody 
in  the  soprano  instead  of  tenor,  and  for  experi- 
ments with  '  character-notes '  (notes  with  heads 
varying  according  to  their  scale-relation),  at  first 
(about  1800)  with  but  four  varieties,  later  with 
seven,  and  at  first  posited  as  if  upon  a  staff,  but 
without  staff-lines  —  a  curious  device  to  empha- 
size scale-relations  while  avoiding  typographical 
difficulties.

TUNE-BOOKS

Luther  O.  Emerson  (1820-1915)  :  Romberg  Collec- 
tion, Boston,  1853;  etc. 

William  O.  Perkins  (1831-1902) :  Choral  Harmony, 
1859;  etc. 

The  total  amount  of  original  music  in  these 
books  is  considerable  and  includes  'anthems' 
as  well  as  'tunes'  in  many  cases.  Most  of  it 
has  the  interest  of  being  indigenous,  since 
practically  all  the  compilers  and  contributors 
were  native  Americans  and  had  no  ambition 
except  to  serve  an  actual  musical  situation 
as  they  knew  it. 

Detailed  discussion  of  the  styles  exemplified 
cannot  be  attempted  here.  They  are  perhaps 
more  varied  than  is  usually  realized,  with  some 
interesting  analogies  to  similar  work  elsewhere. 
As  to  harmony,  they  keep  mainly  to  a  small 
selection  of  chords,  without  much  inversion 
or  modification.  Modulation  is  wanting  or 
extremely  limited.  A  curious  impulse  toward 
'fuguing1  or  a  kind  of  counterpoint,  which 
Billings  and  a  few  others  indulged,  did  not 
long  continue.  As  to  melody,  some  good 
specimens  of  diatonic  procedure  occur,  the 
interest  lying  in  the  solidity  of  the  chord- 
succession.  But  the  prevailing  tendency 
is  toward  the  free  skips  and  arpeggiations  of 
secular  song.  The  rather  numerous  rhythmic 
and  metric  patterns  imply  the  same  relationship. 
As  compared  with  the  complexity  and  studied 
art  of  the  English  part-song  or  glee  tunes  that 
were  plentifully  introduced  after  the  Civil 
War,  these  old  tunes  certainly  lack  richness. 
But  they  are  almost  always  singable,  and  some 
of  them  have  no  small  individuality. 

As  illustrating  the  persistence  of  the  type,  and  also 
suggesting  an  easy  means  of  reference  to  it,  it  may  be 
noted  that  in  Hatfield's  Church  Hymn  Book  (1872) — 
a  large  and  carefully  edited  book  —  out  of  about 
450  tunes  at  least  175  are  taken  from  this  older 
Psalmody.  Among  the  specimens  thus  preserved 
are  Billings'  'Jordan'  (1781) — though  not  his 
better-known  '  Chester '  —  Edson's  '  Bridgewater ' 
and  'Lenox'  (1782),  Holyoke's  'Arnheim'  (1785), 
Daniel  Read's  'Lisbon'  and  'Windham'  (1785), 
Holden's  'Coronation'  (1793),  Swan's  'China' 
(1800),  Ingalls'  'Northfield'  (1805),  John  Cole'a 
'Geneva'  (1805),  Mitchell's  'Pilesgrove'  (1812), 
Norton's  'Devonshire'  (1818),  more  than  20  by 
Hastings,  including  'Retreat'  (1822),  'Rock  of 
Ages'  and  'Zion'  (1830),  'New  Haven'  (1833), 
'Rhine'  (1836),  'Arcadia'  (1839),  and  'Peniel'  (1850), 
nearly  45  of  Lowell  Mason's  original  tunes,  including 
'Missionary  Hymn'  (1824),  'Hebron,'  'Laban,' 
'Litchfield,'  'Rockingham,'  'Uxbridge'  and  'Wesley' 
(1830),  'Olivet'  (1831),  'Boylston'  (1832),  'Sabbath' 
(1834),  'Admah'  (1835),  'Ariel'  and  'Naomi'  (1836), 
'Zerah'  (1837),  'Gerar'  and  'Meribah'  (1839),  'Har- 
well' and  'Migdol'  (1840),  'Ernan'  (1850),  'Henley' 
(1854)  and  'Bethany'  (1859),  besides  many  of  his 
arrangements,  Gardiner's  'Dedham'  (1830),  N.  D. 
Gould's  'Woodland'  (1832),  Oliver's  'Federal  Street' 
(1832)  and  'Merton'  (1843),  Zeuner's  'Missionary 
Chant'  and  'Telemann'  (1832)  and  'Oaksville' 
(1839),  Pond's  'Armenia'  (1835),  Webb's  'Webb' 
(1837),  Kingsley's  'Heber,'  'Tappan'  and  'Ware' 
(1838)  and  'Southport'  (1863),  nearly  20  by  Brad- 


bury, including  'Brown'  (1840),  'Braden,'  'Rest' 
and  'Zephyr'  (1844),  'Woodworth'  (1849),  'Aletta' 
(1856)  and  'Even  Me'  (1862),  Ives'  'Beulah'  (1846), 
Woodbury's  'Edmeston'  (1848)  and  'Siloam'  (1850), 
Taylor's  'Louvan'  and  'Solitude'  (1849),  J.  E. 
Gould's  'Bera'  (1849),  Greatorex's  'Bemerton'  and 
'Leighton'  (1849),  Sweetser's  'Octavius'  and  'Rose 
Hill'  (1849),  Zundel's  'Lebanon'  (1855),  Root's 
'Shining  Shore'  (1859),  etc.  In  addition,  there  are 
many  tunes  by  composers  who  did  not  edit  books, 
such  as  'Kentucky'  and  'Rockbridge'  (1822)  by 
Aaron  Chapin,  'Expostulation'  (1830)  by  Josiah 
Hopkins  (1786-1862),  'Holley'  (1835)  by  George 
Hews  (1806-73),  'Martyn'  by  Simeon  B.  Marsh 
(1836),  'State  Street'  (1844)  by  Jonathan  C.  Wood- 
man (1813-94),  'Wimborne'  by  Whittaker  (1849), 
'Maitland'  (1850)  by  George  N.  Allen  (1812-77), 
'Rathbun'  (1851)  by  Ithamar  Conkey  (1815-67), 
'Solitude'  by  L.  T.  Downes  (1851),  'Stockwell' 
(1851)  by  Darius  E.  Jones  (1815-81),  etc. 

The  list  of  books  might  be  much  prolonged, 
since  the  issue  of  tune-books  continued 
plentifully  beyond  the  time  of  the  Civil  War. 
The  latter  part  of  it,  as  here  extended  to  about 
1860,  is  doubtless  incomplete,  especially  after 
about  1825,  and  perhaps  somewhat  inaccurate, 
since  the  data  are  not  as  well  brought  together 
as  for  the  earlier  time.  What  is  here  set 
down,  however,  makes  an  impressive  showing 
of  a  persistent  line  of  musical  effort  for  more 
than  a  century.  The  total  number  of  books 
included  is  nearly  375 /by  about  200  compilers 
whose  names  are  known.  The  editions  of  the 
earlier  books  were  relatively  small,  so  that  as 
business  ventures  they  could  hardly  have 
been  remunerative,  while  their  influence  was 
local  and  temporary.  But  of  Mason's  various 
works  it  is  said  that  over  a  million  copies  were 
sold,  which  implies  wide  distribution  and  a 
settled  demand.1 

With  the  advent  of  Mason  and  Hastings,  or 
at  least  from  about  1830,  the  old  Psalmody 
plainly  entered  upon  a  second  stage.  The 
original  instinctive  efforts  toward  popular 
training  in  the  rudiments  of  singing,  toward 
what  is  now  called  'community  music,'  and 
toward  the  discipline  and  enrichment  of  church- 
services  —  these  all  remained  in  force.  But 
now  the  leading  spirits  were  men  of  better 
technical  training,  of  more  independent  station 
and  of  broader  outlook.  From  Mason  on- 
ward many  of  them  had  considerable  study 
in  Europe.  Many  of  them,  too,  secured 
honorable  place  as  private  teachers  and 
certainly  were  in  contact  with  other  phases 
of  musical  progress  besides  that  represented 
in  their  tune-books. 

Mason  came  just  when  the  public  school  was 
first  establishing  itself  as  an  institution.  He 
was  so  much  interested  that  in  1832  he  gave 
up  the  leadership  of  the  Handel  and  Haydn 
Society  to  become  what  would  now  be  called 
'music-supervisor'  for  the  public  schools  of

Boston.  Before  1840,  besides  attracting  in- 
quirers and  students  to  Boston,  he  began  to 
exert  influence  elsewhere,  either  by  conducting 
classes  himself  or  by  encouraging  the  holding 
of  'musical  conventions'  to  stir  up  popular 
interest  and  help  in  training  teachers  —  thus 
starting  a  movement  that  continued  for  many 
decades  and  is  to-day  represented  by  the 
Chautauqua  Institution  and  numerous 
'summer  schools.'  His  own  direct  impress 
was  felt  as  far  west  as  Cincinnati  and  as  far 
south  as  Philadelphia  and  Baltimore.  That 
Mason  was  the  pioneer  in  the  present  immense 
expansion  of  public-school  music  throughout 
the  country  is  obvious.  In  some  sense  he 
was  also  an  instigator  for  the  growth  of 
systematic  musical  instruction  in  other  ways. 
From  the  itinerant  'singing-teacher'  of  the 
time  of  Billings  to  the  modern  'music-school' 
seems  like  passing  between  things  essentially 
discrete.  Yet  in  the  work  of  Mason  and  his 
colleagues  they  were  historically  connected. 

Mason's  great  enthusiasm  was  for  choral 
singing.  He  himself  organized  and  led  large 
choirs  in  Boston  and  elsewhere.  It  is  clear 
that  he  proposed  thus  to  lift  and  direct  popular 
standards.  But  it  proved  that  this  emphasis 
actually  led  very  soon  to  a  separation  of 
interest  between  choir  and  congregation, 
especially  as  about  1850  musical  leaders  began 
to  be  more  and  more  those  of  foreign  birth, 
with  no  sympathy  with  the  traditions  of  the 
old  Psalmody.  In  time  the  distinction  thus 
fostered  between  the  'artistic'  and  the 
'popular'  was  greatly  accentuated  by  the 
replacement  of  the  chorus-choir  by  the  quartet 
or  similar  small  force  of  trained  singers.  In 
time,  also,  the  distinction  worked  itself  out 
in  the  development  of  a  new  type  of  church- 
hymnal,  with  words  and  music  combined. 
The  movement  in  this  direction,  which  began 
soon  after  1830  (see  HYMN-BOOKS),  came  to 
have  two  diverse  branches.  One  of  these 
grew  into  the  dignified  and  artistic  hymnals 
of  the  present  day  —  in  which^  surely  Mason 
would  have  rejoiced.  The  other  veered  off 
into  the  music  of  the  choirless  assembly  —  the 
Sunday-school,  the  camp-meeting  and  the 
revivalist's  campaign  —  whence  arose  the 


go-called  'Gospel  hymns,'  in  countless  myriads 
and  of  uncertain  essential  quality.  It  is 
curious  that  two  branches  from  the  same 
original  stalk  of  primitive  Psalmody  should 
bear  such  dissimilar  fruits  in  the  half-century 
since  the  Civil  War  and  be  arrayed  in  so  much 
hostility  to  each  other  as  they  are.  And  it 
is  unfortunate  that  after  1860  the  types  of 
'popular'  sacred  song  which  most  obviously 
were  derived  from  the  traditional  Psalmody 
should  not  have  been  more  affected  by  the 
general  advance  in  musical  culture  and  taste 
in  other  fields.  The  consequence  has  been 
that  musicians  who  have  reacted  against  the 
vapid  and  merely  noisy  forms  of  this  later  type 
have  been  led  to  underestimate  the  historic 
significance  of  the  earlier  Psalmody,  much  of 
which  was  at  least  sincere  and  dignified.

UNIVERSITY  MUSICAL  SOCIETY, 
THE,  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  at  Ann 
Arbor,  was  first  organized  in  1879  under  the 
lead  of  Calvin  B.  Cady,  then  acting-professor. 
Membership  was  limited  to  the  trustees, 
faculty  and  graduates  of  the  University,  and 
the  general  purpose  was  to  promote  music 
as  a  part  of  its  educational  system.  In  1888 
it  was  incorporated,  with  power  to  establish 
and  maintain  a  School  of  Music,  an  orchestra, 
a  chorus  and  an  annual  series  of  high-class 
concerts.  All  these  purposes  have  been 
brilliantly  realized. 

The  University  School  of  Music  was  founded 
in  1889,  when  Albert  A.  Stanley  became  pro- 
fessor. Reorganized  in  1891  on  its  present 
basis,  its  relation  to  the  whole  life  of  the 
institution  has  been  remarkably  intimate. 
There  are  now  about  30  in  the  faculty,  and  the 
annual  enrolment  runs  over  500,  coming  from 
the  whole  United  States  and  several  foreign 
countries.  The  number  of  pupils  since  the 
first  is  nearly  8000.  The  School  has  a  com- 
modious building,  erected  in  1892  and  much 
enlarged  and  completely  modernized  in  1917. 
The  equipment  is  ample  and  excellent. 

The  University  Symphony  Orchestra,  with 
an  average  membership  of  50  or  more,  gives 
several  concerts  each  season  before  large 
audiences.  The  programs  include  a  wide 
range  of  standard  instrumental  literature. 

The  University  Choral  Union  began  in  1879 
and  since  1893  has  had  an  average  membership 
of  about  300.  Its  repertoire  includes  all  the 
leading  sacred  and  secular  works,  some  not 
previously  given  in  America.  Since  1893 
a  May  Festival  has  been  held,  consisting 
usually  of  six  concerts,  with  the  most  eminent 
soloists  and  a  large  orchestra,  such  as  the 
Chicago  Orchestra.  Five  '  pre-f estival '  con- 
certs are  also  given  with  visiting  artists.  In 
the  Festival  series  about  2000  works  have  been 
given,  including  about  75  important  choral 
works.  Ten  of  the  best  orchestras  and  over 
300  famous  soloists  have  assisted.  In  ad- 
dition, about  1200  concerts  or  recitals  of  sig- 
nificance have  been  given  under  the  auspices 
of  the  School  of  Music,  covering  most  of  the 
range  of  ensemble  and  solo  music.  All  con- 
certs, except  those  of  the  Choral  Union  and 
at  the  Festival,  are  free.  It  is  estimated  that 
about  40,000  persons  have  sung  in  the  chorus 
for  periods  of  a  year  to  three  years. 


UNSCHULD,  MARIE  VON  (May  17, 1881, 
Olmiitz,  Austria),  studied  piano  at  the  Vienna 
Conservatory  and  later  with  Leschetizky  and

School  and  Brown  University,  graduating 
in  1854.  From  1855  for  more  than  sixty 
years  he  lived  in  Chicago  as  an  active  journal- 
ist. At  first  he  was  on  the  staff  of  the  '  Native 
Citizen,'  then  of  the  'Evening  Journal,'  and

URANIAN  SOCIETY 


UTT 


URANIAN  SOCIETY,  THE,  of  Phila- 
delphia, was  the  formal  outgrowth  of  an  effort 
in  1784  by  Andrew  Adgate  to  establish  classes 
for  instruction  in  psalmody.  The  Society 
took  shape  in  1785  as  a  body  of  subscribers 
1  to  establish  a  Free  School  for  the  spreading  of 
the  knowledge  of  vocal  music.'  From  the 
outset  occasional  concerts  were  given  in  the 
hall  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  In 
1787  the  name  Uranian  Academy  was  adopted 
and  Adgate  was  called  president.  At  that 
time  the  number  of  pupils  to  be  received  was 
set  at  300,  with  three  places  of  instruction. 
Among  the  trustees  and  patrons  were  Dr. 
Benjamin  Rush  and  Francis  Hopkinson. 
Data  about  the  Academy  after  1790  are  want- 
ing. Adgate  died  in  1793,  but  traces  of  the 
name  'Uranian'  are  found  until  after  1800. 
In  1793-97,  perhaps  longer,  a  Uranian  Musical 
Society  existed  in  New  York.  See  Sonneck, 
Concert-Life,  pp.  103-18,  203. 


URSO,  CAMILLA  (June  13,  1842,  Nantes, 
France  :  Jan.  20,  1902,  New  York),  was 
the  daughter  of  an  orchestral  player.  She 
began  to  study  the  violin  in  her  sixth  year,  and 
at  nine  became  a  pupil  of  Massart  at  the  Paris 
Conservatory.  In  1852  she  came  to  America 
as  a  child-performer,  playing  in  concerts 
with  Sontag  and  Alboni.  After  three  years 
her  parents  settled  in  Nashville,  Tenn.,  and 
for  seven  years  she  devoted  herself  to  violin- 
practice.  In  1862  she  took  up  concert-work 
again,  appearing  first  in  New  York  at  a  Phil- 
harmonic concert.  Thereafter  for  thirty  years 
she  made  constant  tours  in  America  and 
Europe  with  great  success.  She  visited  Aus- 
tralia in  1879  and  1894,  and  South  Africa  in 
1895.  The  last  years  of  her  life  were  spent  in 
New  York.  See  an  interesting  reference  to  her

the  first  to  present  orchestral  programs  entirely 
by  American  composers.  On  July  12,  1889, 
he  gave  such  a  program  at  the  Paris  Ex- 
position. In  1892  he  conducted  the  concerts 
on  the  European  tour  of  the  Arion  Society. 
He  was  in  demand  as  festival-conductor,  and 
officiated  thus  at  Indianapolis  in  1887,  New- 


ark in  1891  and  New  York  in  1894.  In 
1895-1907  he  was  conductor  of  the  Cincinnati

Festival  of  Dramatic  Music  there  in  1914, 
and  has  given  many  orchestral  programs  of 
his  own  music  in  America  and  abroad.  For 
the  last  ten  years  he  has  made  his  home  in 
Europe,  coming  to  America  only  upon  occasion. 
In  1919  he  conducted  orchestral  works  in 
Copenhagen.  Additional  orchestral  works  are

WA-WAN  PRESS,  THE,  was  a  publishing 
enterprise  set  on  foot  by  Arthur  Farwell  in  1901 
at  Newton  Center,  Mass.  Its  stated  object  was 
1  primarily  to  publish  the  most  progressive  and 
significant  compositions  by  American  com- 
posers, wholly  upon  considerations  of  artistic 
merit ;  and  secondarily  to  give  due  attention 
to  the  development  of  the  various  forms  of 
primitive  folk-songs  in  America.'  For  a  series 
of  years  it  energetically  fulfilled  both  of  these 
objects,  issuing  a  variety  of  works,  some  of 
them  of  large  dimensions,  by  about  forty  Amer- 
ican composers,  including  a  striking  number 
of  settings  or  idealizations  of  Indian  and  Negro 
materials.  It  was  one  of  the  most  influential 
factors  in  stimulating  interest  in  types  of  work

New  York,  is  the  present  name  of  the  business 
established  in  1852  by  Albert  Weber  and 
from  1879  carried  forward  by  Albert  Weber, 
Jr.  From  about  1870  its  instruments  became 
generally  recognized  as  having  a  special 
beauty  of  tone,  as  well  as  mechanical  finish, 
so  that  they  received  many  awards  in  com- 
petitions. Since  1903  the  Company  has 
formed  part  of  the  ^Eolian,  Weber  Piano  & 
Pianola  Co.  The  annual  output  of  this

WHITNEY,  MYRON  WILLIAM  (Sept. 
5,  1836,  Ashby,  Mass.  :  Sept.  19,  1910, 
Sandwich,  Mass.),  came  to  Boston  in  1852, 
and  soon  began  to  study  singing  with  E.  H. 
Frost.  His  first  appearance  as  an  oratorio- 
bass  was  in  a  Christmas  performance  of 
'The  Messiah'  at  Tremont  Temple  in  1858. 
He  sang  in  concerts  and  oratorios  for  the  next 
ten  years,  and  then  studied  in  Florence  under 
Vannucini  and  in  London  under  Randegger. 
After  his  return  to  Boston  he  was  recalled  to 
England  for  a  season  of  concerts  and  festivals, 
but  from  1876  his  activities  were  confined  to 
America.  He  was  the  only  soloist  at  the  open- 
ing of  the  Centennial  Exposition  in  Philadel- 
phia in  1876.  He  made  two  tours  with  the 
Thomas  Orchestra,  and  he  was  one  of  the 
bassos  in  the  American  Opera  Company  in 
1886-87.  He  sang  with  the  Handel  and  Haydn 
Society  of  Boston,  the  New  York  Oratorio 
Society,  at  the  Cincinnati  Festivals  of  1873, 
'75,  '78  and  '80,  and  at  a  long  list  of  other 
festivals  and  oratorio-performances  through- 
out the  country.  With  the  Boston  Ideal 
Opera  Company  from  1879  he  was  the  leading 
basso,  and  for  many  years  was  successfully 
identified  with  light  opera.  In  1890  he 
retired  from  the  concert-stage.  [  R.4  ] 

WHITNEY,  SAMUEL  BRENTON  (June 
4,  1842,  Woodstock,  Vt.  :  Aug.  3,  1914, 
Brattleboro,  Vt.),  was  trained  as  organist 
by  local  teachers,  by  Charles  Wels  in  New 
York,  and  chiefly  by  Paine  in  Boston.  In 
1871  he  became  organist  at  the  Church  of 
the  Advent  in  Boston,  where  he  established 
a  choral  service  of  rare  excellence  and  wide 
renown.  He  was  a  leader  in  the  establish- 
ment of  the  Massachusetts  Diocesan  Choir 
Guild  in  1876,  and  was  its  choir-master  for 
many  years.  His  Communion  Service  in 
G  was  composed  for  his  25th  anniversary 
at  the  Church  of  the  Advent  (1896)  and  the 
Magnificat  and  Nunc  Dimittis  in  E-flat  for 
the  35th  (1906).  In  1908  he  resigned,  but

continued  as  director  emeritus.  An  excellent 
organist,  he  gave  many  recitals  in  his  earlier 
years,  and  was  noted  for  his  Bach  playing 
and  for  improvisations.  He  was  professor  of 
organ-playing  and  lecturer  at  the  Boston 
University  and  the  New  England  Con- 
servatory, and  at  the  latter  taught  classes 
in  church-music.  He  directed  many  choir  and 
choral  festivals  throughout  New  England. 
His  compositions  included  a  piano-trio,  music 
for  piano  and  organ,  church-services,  anthems 
and  hymn-tunes.  He  was  a  founder  of  the 
A.  G.  O.,  and  an  examiner  in  the  American 
College  of  Musicians.  [  R.5  ]

engaged  at  the  Opera  at  Schwerin,  also  singing 
in  1907  at  Covent  Garden  and  in  1908  in 
Berlin.  In  1909-12  she  was  with  the  Metro-

WILCOX  &  WHITE  COMPANY,  THE, 
of  Meriden,  Conn.,  is  the  successor  of  the 


Wilcox  &  White  Organ  Co.,  which  was  formed 
in  1876  to  compete  with  the  Estey  Organ  Co. 
in  making  reed-organs,  the  original  founders 
being  H.  C.  Wilcox  and  J.  H.  and  H.  K. 
White.  Prior  to  1908  they  made  about  50,000 
organs.  The  present  company  was  formed  in 
1897.  They  have  made  a  specialty  of  the 
'Angelus,'  a  player-attachment  brought  out 
in  1895,  and  have  developed  a  large  business 
in  player-pianos  and  in  music-rolls.  Their 
'orchestral'  piano  has  a  set  of  reeds  included. 

WILD,  HARRISON  MAJOR  (Mar.  6, 
1861,  Hoboken,  N.  J.),  had  most  of  his  musical 
education  in  Chicago  under  Liebling,  Cres- 
wold  and  Eddy,  but  in  1878-79  also  studied 
in  Leipzig  with  Zwintscher,  Rust  and  Richter. 
Since  1876  he  has  been  almost  continuously 
an  organist  in  Chicago,  playing  at  the  Church 
of  the  Ascension  five  years,  at  Unity  Church 
thirteen  and  since  1895  at  Grace  Church, 
where  he  has  made  the  services  specially 
notable.  He  has  also  won  a  fine  reputation 
as  choral  conductor,  since  1898  leading  the 
Apollo  Musical  Club,  since  1902  the  Mendels- 
sohn Club  (men's  voices),  and  since  1905  the 
Mendelssohn  Club  of  Rockford.  With  the 
first  two  of  these  he  has  introduced  a  long 
list  of  important  works,  performed  with  great 
perfection.  He  is  also  active  as  an  organ- 
recitalist,  and  has  been  dean  of  the  Western 
Chapter  of  the  A.  G.  O.  [  R.6  ]

sistance for  study  in  Paris,  where  his  teachers 
were  Mathias  and  De  Beriot  in  piano,  Durand 
in  harmony,  and  Guiraud,  Godard  and  Franck 
in  composition.  After  his  return  in  1899  he 
conducted  symphony-concerts,  and  in  1903 
founded  the  Conservatorio  de  Miisica  de

WILLIAMS,  HARRY  EVAN  (Sept.  7, 
1867,  Mineral  Ridge,  O.  :  May  24,  1918, 
Akron,  O.),  was  a  mine-  and  steel-mill  worker 
in  his  early  years,  and  he  sang  in  an  octet- 
club  which  attained  considerable  local  repu- 
tation. For  four  years  he  studied  with  Mme. 
Louise  von  Feilitsch  in  Cleveland,  and  made 
his  first  appearance  as  tenor  in  1891  at  Galion, 
O.,  though  his  real  debut  was  at  the  Worcester 
Festival  of  1896.  In  New  York  he  then 
became  a  pupil  of  Ffrancon  Davies,  Ben  Da- 
vies,  Mrs.  Topping-Brown,  John  Dennis  Me- 
han  and  James  Sauvage.  Dissatisfied  with 
his  work,  he  retired  for  a  period  in  1904,  but 
reappeared  with  great  success  in  the  later 
years  of  his  life.  He  was  soloist  at  nearly 
all  the  principal  festivals  of  the  country, 
including  about  15  appearances  at  Worcester. 
He  gave  perhaps  1000  song-recitals,  after  1900 
exclusively  in  English;  and  was  equally 
successful  in  song  and  oratorio.  [  R.8  ]

WILSON,  HENRY  (Dec.  2,  1828,  Green- 
field, Mass.  :  Jan.  8,  1878,  Hartford,  Conn.), 
was  musically  inclined  from  childhood,  but 
was  forced  to  learn  the  printer's  trade  for 
support.  Diligence  in  this  latter  enabled 
him  to  study  music  in  Boston  from  about 
1848,  though  double  labor  undermined  his 
health.  About  1850  he  became  teacher  and 
organist  at  St.  James'  in  Greenfield,  removing 
in  1854  for  a  few  months  to  Springfield.  A 
chance  meeting  with  Alexander  W.  Thayer 
led  to  their  going  to  Europe  together  and 
a  lifelong  friendship.  A  year's  study  in 
Leipzig  followed,  during  which  he  wrote 
entertaining  letters  for  the  Springfield  'Re- 
publican.' From  1855  for  twenty-two  years 
he  was  organist  at  Christ  Church  in  Hartford, 
going  for.  a  short  time  afterward  to  Park 
Church.  The  peculiar  impress  of  his  per- 
sonality and  gifts  was  shown  by  the  tributes 
after  his  death,  including  addresses  by  Charles 
Dudley  Warner,  Bishop  Williams  and  Rev. 
N.  J.  Burton,  and  many  letters,  among  them 
those  of  J.  G.  Holland  and  Dudley  Buck. 
These  appreciations  were  gathered  into  a  small 
memorial  in  1878.  He  was  preeminently  a 
church-musician,  throwing  a  notable  emotion 
into  whatever  he  wrote  or  rendered.  His 
compositions  were  almost  wholly  for  church 


use.  They  lacked  solidity  and  balance,  but 
for  a  time  were  extremely  popular  and  effective.

WILSON,  MORTIMER  (Aug.  6,  1876, 
Chariton,  la.),  in  1894-1900  studied  in  Chicago

In  1901-07  he  taught  theory  in  the  University 
School  of  Music  at  Lincoln,  Neb.,  and  then 
had  three  years  in  Leipzig,  at  first  studying

1911  he  was  at  the  Atlanta  Conservatory  and 
conductor  of  the  Symphony  Orchestra,  and 
in  1916-18  taught  at  Brenau  College  in 
Gainesville,  Ga.  He  is  now  consulting-editor 
for  the  National  Academy  of  Music  in  New 
York.  He  has  written  The  Rhetoric  of  Music, 
1907.  His  published  works  include  'From 
My  Youth,'  op.  5,  8  miniatures  for  violin, 
'cello  and  piano ;  sonatas  in  D  and  E,  opp.

His  dramatic  works  have  been  brought  out 
in  Germany  because  of  his  inability  to  agree 
with  the  Italian  house  that  controls  publication 
in  Italy.  When  he  came  to  America  in  1912 
to  superintend  the  production  of  'I  Giojelli 
della  Madonna'  he  had  never  heard  any  of  his 
works  given  in  Italian.  His  name  unites  those 
of  his  German  father,  the  distinguished  painter 
August  Wolf,  and  of  his  Italian  mother.

WOLFSOHN,  CARL  (Dec.  14,  1834,  Alzey,

WOLLE 


407 


Aloys  Schmitt  at  Frankfort,  where  he  made 
his  debut  as  pianist  in  1848.  He  then  studied 
with  Lachner,  made  concert-tours  and  lived 
for  two  years  in  London  before  coming  to 
America  in  1854.  He  located  in  Philadelphia 
as  pianist,  orchestral  conductor  and  teacher, 
and  for  about  twenty  years  gave  series  of 
chamber-music  concerts.  In  1863  he  under- 
took recitals  embodying  the  entire  series  of 
Beethoven  sonatas,  which  were  given  twice 
in  Philadelphia  and  twice  in  New  York  with 
notable  success.  Later  he  presented  the 
complete  piano-works  of  Schumann  and  of 
Chopin  in  similar  series  of  recitals.  In  1873 
he  moved  to  Chicago,  and  to  his  other  activities 
added  the  direction  of  the  Beethoven  Society, 
a  choral  organization.  He  was  widely  known 
as  a  teacher  of  piano,  was  one  of  the  early 
champions  of  Wagner  in  America,  and  did 
much  to  raise  the  standards  of  chamber- 
music  both  in  Philadelphia  and  in  Chicago. 
Among  his  many  pupils  Mme.  Bloomfield- 
Zeisler  is  perhaps  the  most  widely  known.

WOLLE,  JOHN  FREDERICK  (Apr.  4, 
1863,  Bethlehem,  Pa.),  comes  of  a  long  line 
of  musical  ancestors  and  had  his  first  lessons 
from  a  sister  and  a  cousin.  In  1879  he  gradu- 
ated at  the  Moravian  Parochial  School,  having 
specialized  in  music,  and  began  teaching  in 
Bethlehem.  In  1881-84  he  was  organist  at 
Trinity  Church  there  and  had  organ-lessons 
from  Wood  in  Philadelphia.  In  1884-85 
he  studied  with  Rheinberger  in  Munich, 
returning  to  be  organist  for  twenty  years  at 
the  Moravian  Church.  Before  going  to 
Germany  he  had  organized  choral  societies 
in  Bethlehem  and  Easton,  and  the  former, 
after  giving  standard  oratorios,  he  led  to 
concentrate  upon  Bach's  music.  With  it 
in  1888  he  gave  the  first  complete  rendering 
in  America  of  the  St.  John  Passion,  and  in 
1892  he  gave  also  the  St.  Matthew  Passion. 
After  a  period  of  inactivity,  in  1898  work  was 
resumed,  and  in  1900  the  B  minor  Mass  was 
given.  In  1887-1905  he  was  organist  at  the 
Packer  Memorial  Church  at  Lehigh  University. 
In  1904  the  Moravian  College  made  him  Mus. 
D.  (also  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in 
1919).  In  1905-11  he  was  professor  at  the 
University  of  California,  where  he  organized 
a  chorus  of  300,  conducted  symphony-concerts 
and  directed  performances  of  Greek  dramas. 
Besides  being  in  1907-09  organist  at  the  First 
Congregational  Church  in  Berkeley,  he 
assembled  a  Bach  Choir  of  125,  which  gave 
the  St.  Matthew  Passion  and  the  Mass  in 
1909-10.  Returning  to  Bethlehem  in  1911, 
he  resumed  the  notable  administration  of  the 
Bach  Choir  (see  article),  was  organist  at  the 
Salem  Lutheran  Church  and  conducted 
choral  societies  in  Harrisburg,  York  and

WOOD,  DAVID  DUFFIELD  (Mar.  2, 
1838,  near  Pittsburgh  :  Mar.  27,  1910, 
Philadelphia),  lost  his  sight  by  accident  in 
childhood  and  at  five  went  to  the  Philadelphia 
School  for  the  Blind,  where  he  was  an  apt 
pupil  in  music  and  mathematics.  In  1853 
he  became  assistant-teacher  in  music  and  in 
1887  director.  He  there  conducted  remark- 
ably successful  performances  of  standard  ora- 
torios and  of  Bach  cantatas.  In  1864  he 
became  organist  at  St.  Stephen's,  remaining 
exactly  46  years  (last  service  two  days  before 
his  death).  For  about  25  years  he  also 
played  at  the  evening  services  at  the  Baptist 
Temple,  where  he  often  brought  out  oratorios. 
He  was  a  superior  player  and  one  of  the  first 
to  specialize  in  Bach  in  America.  Many  of 
his  pupils  became  prominent.  His  com- 
positions were  mostly  for  the  church  and  were 
sung  at  St.  Stephen's  from  manuscript.  In 
1911  the  H.  W.  Gray  Co.  began  publishing 
a  series  of  his  anthems.  [  R.4  ]

child  with  Burbatti,  the  cathedral-organist  at 
Ivrea,  entered  the  Milan  Conservatory  as  pupil 
of  Fumagalli.  He  won  a  scholarship  for  pianists 
at  the  Turin  Conservatory  in  1901,  and  spent 
three  years  there  under  Venezia  (piano), 
Remondi  (organ)  and  Bolzoni  (composition). 
In  1904  he  went  to  the  Academy  of  St. 
Cecilia  in  Rome,  where  his  teachers  were

and  De  Sanctis  (theory).  He  graduated  in 
1905  with  honors  in  each  department,  the 
first  prize-medal  of  the  Academy  and  a 
special  medal  from  the  Italian  Minister  of 
Public  Instruction.  For  two  years  he  was 
substitute-organist  at  the  Vatican  and  the 
Royal  Church  of  Rome.  In  1907  he  became 
organist  at  St.  Francis  Xavier's  in  New  York. 
There  and  through  extensive  tours  as  virtuoso

ceedingly efficient  head  of  the  Detroit  Con- 
servatory and  organist  at  the  Central 
Methodist  Church.  He  has  always  been  a 
strong  supporter  of  American  music,  especially 
interested  in  the  works  of  MacDowell.  He 
was  organ-recitalist  at  the  Buffalo  and  St. 
Louis  Expositions  of  1901  and  1904,  and  has

first  lessons,  at  twelve,  were  with  Friedrich 
Weber  in  Rostock,  and  later  he  studied  in 
Hanover  and  Berlin.  In  the  Germania 
Orchestra  he  played  first  flute,  thus  having 
part  in  the  important  influence  of  that  organ- 
ization. In  1855-63  he  conducted  one  of  the 
several  orchestras  in  Boston  known  by  the 
name  Philharmonic,  and  was  practically  the 
only  leader  of  the  concerts  of  the  Harvard

he  led  the  chorus  of  20,000.  He  was  also  a 
teacher  of  singing,  harmony  and  composition 
at  the  New  England  Conservatory.  In  all 
these  ways  he  left  a  significant  impress  upon 
the  development  of  American  choral  music.

ZIEHN,  BERNHARD  (Jan.  20, 1845,  Erfurt, 
Germany  :  Sept.  8,  1912,  Chicago),  was 
not  at  first  specially  trained  in  music.  He 
studied  at  the  teachers'  seminary  in  Erfurt 
and  taught  three  years  at  Miihlhausen.  In 
1868-70  he  taught  higher  mathematics, 
German  and  music-theory  at  the  German 
Lutheran  School  in  Chicago.  After  1871 
he  concentrated  wholly  upon  the  investigation 
of  the  theory  of  music  and  the  teaching  of  it. 
This  led  to  a  series  of  monumental  books, 
including  System  der  Uebungen  fur  Klavier- 
spieler,  1881,  Lehrgang  fur  den  ersten  Kla- 
vierunterricht,  1881,  developing  the  idea  of 
'symmetrical  inversion'  of  material,  Harmo- 
nic- und  Modulationslehre,  1888  (2nd  ed., 
1909,  in  English,  1907),  which  was  his  chief 
work,  Five-  and  Six-Part  Harmonies,  How  to 
Use  Them,  1911,  and  Canonical  Studies,  a  New 
Technic  of  Composition,  1912  (English  and 
German).  He  also  wrote  a  treatise  on  the 
execution  of  ornaments  in  classical  works 
(Hamburg,  1883),  contributed  an  elaborate 
discussion  of  the  ecclesiastical  modes  to  'Die 
Musik,'  and  wrote  many  other  articles  for 
German  periodicals.  An  article  on  poison- 
ivy  in  the  vicinity  of  Chicago  was  commended 
by  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture.  Two 
comments  on  his  Harmonielehre  may  be 
quoted  : 

(Hugo  Kaun)  In  this  book  'one  finds  thousands  of 
illustrations  embracing  the  entire  literature  of 
music.  His  knowledge  in  this  respect  was  unique. 
But  aside  from  these  it  is  above  all  his  own  harmonic 
combinations  that  make  this  work  so  valuable.  He 
did  not  write  his  book  by  utilizing  existing  material ; 
he  himself  was  a  pathfinder.  In  all  the  modern 
works  there  is  scarcely  a  harmonic  combination  that 
he  did  not  point  out  as  early  as  1888.' 

(Busoni)  'Over  the  beautiful  lines  of  the  Gothic 


fugue  Ziehn  paints  in  the  colors  of  a  great  and  new 
harmony,  the  harmony  that  arises  from  the  appli- 
cation of  a  relentless  logic  to  the  problems  of  voice- 
leading,  that  achieves  absolute  independence  for 
each  voice,  yet  at  their  meeting-points  permits  most 
original  harmonies  to  develop.  He  is  a  theoretician 
who  points  to  the  possibilities  of  undiscovered 
lands  —  a  prophet  through  logic.  As  a  master  of 
harmony  he  stands  alone.' 

He  solved  the  uncompleted  last  work  of 
Bach,  a  fugue  of  which  Bach  gave  the  first, 
second  and  part  of  the  third  out  of  four  themes 
(see  Schweitzer,  Bach,  i.  424).  On  Ziehn's 
basis  Busoni  wrote  out  the  '  Fantasia  Contrap- 
puntistica'  as  a  series  of  seven  fugues,  of 
which  three  are  variations  of  others.  This 
was  for  piano,  and  Middelschulte  has  arranged 
it  for  organ,  and  he  and  Stock  also  made  an 
orchestral  transcription. 

Among  his  famous  pupils  may  be  named 
Mrs.  Zeisler,  Mrs.  Middelschulte,  Regina  Wat- 
son, Grace  Chadbourne  and  Eleanor  Freer, 
with  Kaun,  Carpenter,  Bradley,  Deis,  Arthur 
Dunham,  Gunn,  Otto  Wulf  and  Middel- 
schulte. [  R.5  ]

ZIMBALIST,  EFREM  (Apr.  9,  1889, 
Rostov-on-the-Don,  Russia).  See  article  in 
Vol.  v.  596.  His  Berlin  d6but  was  in  1907, 
when  he  played  the  Brahms  concerto  with 
extraordinary  impression.  His  first  English 
appearance  the  same  year  was  followed  by 
immediate  engagements  under  Nikisch  and 
Richter.  Within  a  year  he  was  equally 
recognized  in  France  and  Russia.  He  was 
the  first  after  Joachim  to  appear  at  the  Ge- 
wandhaus  on  New  Year's  Day,  as  the  latter 
had  done  for  fifty  years.  He  first  came  to 
America  in  1911,  playing  the  Glazunov  A 
minor  concerto  with  the  Boston  Symphony 
Orchestra  on  Oct.  27.  This  visit  led  to 
permanent  settlement  and  to  numerous  later 
appearances  with  orchestra  and  in  recital. 
He  has  composed  a  set  of  'Slavonic  Dances' 
for  violin  and  orchestra,  a  'Suite  in  the. 
Style'  for  violin  and  piano,  and 
1914  he  married  the  soprano
